Donna Brazile is DISHING UP THE DIRT (and of course, walking it back, since she’s afraid of getting “suicided.”)
The left is eating their own…. and I’m loving every second of it.
The latest juicy nugget?
Former DNC chair Donna Brazile says she seriously considered Biden to replace Clinton after nominee fainted https://t.co/Duqa5IjJZX

WHOA.
Lucky for us this didn’t happen… Joe had a much better chance than demonhag Hillary ever did. He’s not nearly as polarizing. He’s still a wackjob, but doesn’t inspire nearly the raw hatred Hill does.
Can you IMAGINE what Hillary would have done if she would have been pulled from the race?!
The Democrat “suiciding” would have run rampant.
According to the Washington Post article above:
Former Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile writes in a new book that she seriously contemplated replacing Hillary Clinton as the party’s 2016 presidential nominee with then-Vice President Biden in the aftermath of Clinton’s fainting spell, in part because Clinton’s campaign was “anemic” and had taken on “the odor of failure.”
In an explosive new memoir, Brazile details widespread dysfunction and dissension throughout the Democratic Party, including secret deliberations over using her powers as interim DNC chair to initiate the process of removing Clinton and running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.) from the ticket after Clinton’s Sept. 11, 2016, collapse in New York City.
Brazile writes that she considered a dozen combinations to replace the nominees and settled on Biden and Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.), the duo she felt most certain would win over enough working-class voters to defeat Republican Donald Trump. But then, she writes, “I thought of Hillary, and all the women in the country who were so proud of and excited about her. I could not do this to them.”
Translation: Hillary would have murdered me and my family.
Brazile paints a scathing portrait of Clinton as a well-intentioned, historic candidate whose campaign was badly mismanaged, took minority constituencies for granted and made blunders with “stiff” and “stupid” messages. The campaign was so lacking in passion for the candidate, she writes, that its New York headquarters felt like a sterile hospital ward where “someone had died.”
Brazile alleges that Clinton’s top aides routinely disrespected her and put the DNC on a “starvation diet,” depriving it of funding for voter turnout operations.
As one of her party’s most prominent black strategists, Brazile also recounts fiery disagreements with Clinton’s staffers — including a conference call in which she told three senior campaign officials, Charlie Baker, Marlon Marshall and Dennis Cheng, that she was being treated like a slave.
“I’m not Patsey the slave,” Brazile recalls telling them, a reference to the character played by Lupita Nyong’o in the film, “12 Years a Slave.” “Y’all keep whipping me and whipping me and you never give me any money or any way to do my damn job. I am not going to be your whipping girl!”
HOLY FREAKING SMOKES.
THIS IS SO JUICY.
As she traveled the country, Brazile writes, she detected an alarming lack of enthusiasm for Clinton. On black radio stations, few people defended the nominee. In Hispanic neighborhoods, the only Clinton signs she saw were at the campaign field offices.
But at headquarters in New York, the mood was one of “self-satisfaction and inevitability,” and Brazile’s early reports of trouble were dismissed with “a condescending tone.”
HAHAHAHA.
Remember this?
Here’s Hillary thinking she had it IN THE BAG. So GREAT.
“Self-satisfaction and inevitability” in a nutshell.
Brazile writes that Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook and his lieutenants were so obsessed with voter data and predictive analytics that they “missed the big picture.”
“They knew how to size up voters not by meeting them and finding out what they cared about, what moved their hearts and stirred their souls, but by analyzing their habits,” she writes. “You might be able to persuade a handful of Real Simple magazine readers who drink gin and tonics to change their vote to Hillary, but you had not necessarily made them enthusiastic enough to want to get up off the couch and go to the polls.”
Never thought I’d say this… but Brazile is completely right.
There’s two ways this could go.
A- The Dems continue infighting, rendering them increasingly incapable of ever winning ever again.
B- They learn some lessons from this and smarten up.
Let’s hope it’s A.
