One of the few things about which most Democrats have agreed is is that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has done a horrid job as the DNC Chair.  Of course, a few think she is a Hillary Clinton ally, acting in her behalf, but many of those folks think Donald Trump, Beelzebub, and the ghosts of Adolf Hitler and Ronnie Ray Gun are also Hillary Clinton allies.  One person who does not think so is Hillary Clinton.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0618DNCHead\"In 2008, when then-Sen. Barack Obama sewed up the nomination, his team rushed to fill the ranks of the Democratic National Committee. That is normal, as the committee’s No. 1 task is to support the presidential campaign (the Senate and House Democrats have their own committees).<\/p>\n

If you remember, Howard Dean was the head of the DNC at the time, and he remained nominally in charge, but Obama’s team was in full control. Dean had been moved to the sidelines. It wasn’t an antagonistic move. It simply meant that the presidential campaign and the DNC had to be in sync, and the best way to manage that is to have people from the same team in charge. So with that bit of background, say goodbye<\/a> to Debbie Wasserman Schultz.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton's campaign is taking the reins of the Democratic National Committee, installing a new top official on Thursday to oversee the party's day-to-day operations through the general election.<\/p>\n

Brandon Davis, national political director for the Service Employees International Union, will become the general election chief of staff for the Democratic Party. His selection formalizes the coordination of the Clinton campaign and the committee, a stark contrast to Donald Trump who is currently at odds with his party…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From <Daily Kos<\/a>><\/font><\/p>\n

Schultz will be relegated to fundraising and cheerleading, while Davis actually runs the Democratic Party.  Davis appears to be the opposite of Schultz.  He's competent, charismatic, energized, and progressive.<\/font><\/p>\n

I have to admit that, assuming Hillary actually gets the nomination, my support for her will include a held nose, but I give her just credit for doing this right!!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
