A day of humiliation for party chair underscores Democratic divide

What was supposed to be a morning of personal triumph for Debbie Wasserman Schultz — rallying her home-state delegation before opening the Democratic National Convention she had orchestrated — suddenly became one of humiliation.

“Shame!” people in the room jeered as the congresswoman addressed a Monday breakfast of the Florida delegation. “Shame!”

It was a cringe-worthy, nationally televised spectacle that exposed deep divisions within the Democratic Party and reopened raw wounds from the Hillary Clinton-Bernie Sanders primary battles. By the afternoon, Wasserman Schultz had disappeared here in Philadelphia, after also giving up her speaking slot and her ceremonial role gaveling the convention to order.

Imagine how bad things really are!

Washington Post vets their stories through the DNC prior to publishing.

I thought it was comedy gold. DWS had the deer in headlights look.

I thought the Republicans were the party who had such a dark chaotic convention.

How can good Democrats be having any sort of dissension at their big party?

off topic, but John Kerry declared air conditioners as big a threat to humanity as ISIS. John Kerry is a good Democrat. Shouldn’t the Democrats cut off the air conditioning in the arena, so they can set a good example for us about global warming at their convention???

The Wells Fargo convention center makes for a very good echo chamber. Just not one where the echoes are scripted and limited.

When the Democrats say "for the greater good" it means "you peasants must sacrifice for the chosen ones" (us, not you). It's the reason gun bans will never work. We know better than to sacrifice our guns while they lie and keep theirs.

Stop!

This is the typical Clinton pattern.

They pick a close associate, throw them under the bus, and move on pure as snow.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be back and well rewarded for playing her part, or, she will disappear. Either way the Clintons come out clean.

The dems are blaming their erstwhile allies, totalitarian Russia!
Just love the every-day demokrat slime and corruption being exposed to the light of day.
The worms and roaches and crawling things are screeching in pain at being exposed to sunlight.
Hope wikileaks pours salt on their wounds.

From everything I read so far, it appears that the 'RAT "convention" has turned into "Animal House, The DNC Edition".

That's one of the bigger things revealed and proven true in all this.

The media is an arm of promoting more government control over its inmates and the demokrat party is the vehicle.

she reminds me of this cheap hooker that used to haunt the neighborhood I have a rental property in. One day she cornered me at the ATM and waxed on about her pill popping problem and how she has to hook for her habit. she said each pill “dose” cost her $25 and she would need 4-5 per day. on my way back to the car she offered a favor for $20 and I stopped and said that makes no sense that you have to perform 2 acts to get 1 fix, why don’t you charge the $25, said said men don’t pay it.... gross.

Great comments below the article.

It looks like everyone—left, right, center, communist, anarchist, whatever, has figured out the Democratic Party under Hillary is the true Axis of Evil, lying, cheating, stealing, threatening their way to the top.

And the best part-is that the Washington Post and the rest of their “objective” journalist buddies have been exposed as a major part of the problem and no part of the solution.

Sweet!

Good point.

Wonder what this story looked like before the DNC edited it.
