From Clay Jones on his political cartoon “Bernie’s Little Drops Of Love For Little Debbie” and how Debbie Wasserman Schultz pissed off Bernie Sanders
A lot of people are really unhappy with the job Debbie Wasserman Schultz has performed as chair of the Democratic Party. The one person who is probably the most unhappy with her is Bernie Sanders.
One thing sitting Senators and Congressmen do not do, ever, is endorse a primary opponent against a current sitting representative in their own party. Guess what Bernie did? Bernie Sanders has endorsed Wasserman Schultz’s primary opponent. He has also stated that if he’s elected president that she will no longer be the chair of the DNC. Ouch! Feel that bern, baby.
Sanders even sent out an email for her opponent, Tim Canova, soliciting campaign donations, which apparently brought in a lot of cash.
Sanders feels Wasserman Schultz has favored Hillary Clinton throughout the Democratic primary. She actually worked on Hillary’s 2008 campaign, so he might have a point. Other evidence he points to that shows she favors Clinton is her use of superdelegates, which is like giving Clinton a running start. There were also closed primaries in several states, which prevents independents from voting, which is very undemocratic for a party called the “Democratic Party.” Worst of all, Wasserman Schultz scheduled very few debates, with some of those happening on Saturday nights. I’m really shocked Wasserman Schultz didn’t schedule any for 4 a.m. Thursday morning on C-SPAN. Apparently the more people get of Hillary Clinton, the less they like her. It’s probably the laugh. For me, it’s the laugh and the Big Bird pants suit she wore for one of the debates. Obviously, her campaign is staffed entirely with yes people. “Yes ma’am, that suit is fabulous and not ridiculous looking at all.”
Will Sanders’s support of Cavona against Debbie have any impact? I doubt it. In the Florida primary, Hillary Clinton won that particular congressional district by 37 percent.
Even if these complaints against Wasserman Schultz weren’t out there in the political atmosphere, I would still believe she should be knocked out of the chairmanship. It’s a conflict of interest. She’s a sitting member of Congress. That’s her job, not the blanket partisanship of chairing the party. We can blame President Obama for that as he’s the one who appointed her, which was probably done to appease Hillary after he thrashed her in the 2008 primaries.
Bernie may have “berned” some bridges in the Democratic Party. But what does he really care? He only recently became a Democrat as he’s spent his entire legislative career as an independent. He’ll probably go back to that status after the election.
Bernie’s birds pooping on Debbie’s hair would suck. But at least they’re not making a nest in it. I believe that’s physically possible.
