Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigns as head of the Democratic National Convention after Wikileaks releases emails. Hillary Clinton alleges Russian state actors involved. Any thoughts?

It's irrelevant. She will be replaced with someone else with the same misguided ideas.
Sure, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is easily replaceable. But there is likely going to be damage done to Clinton
I doubt it. The overwhelming majority of people aren't voting for Clinton because they like her as a presidential candidate - they're voting for her because they despise Donald Trump more than they despise her.
It's quite unfortunate that more people won't vote for Gary Johnson instead, but that's a different matter.
This is a pretty huge revalation and totally damning. Why hillary hired DWS immediately after this is absurd. Bernie supporters are pissed and rightfully so.
Hillary just has an endless stream of dirty, insider politics. Losing Sanders supporters is going to hurt as these people are the ones who turned out and got Obama elected.
Even more emails to come out as well. Gotta love how the dems painted the Republican party as coming apart when it is their house that is a total mess.
Should have nominated Biden. Forced a failed and baggage loaded candidate and this is what happens.
Don't have a dog in this fight, but I think it's pretty odd how Bernie and the Bernouts feel that the Democratic party somehow belongs to them and that Hillary is betraying the party by not racing further left to satisfy them. Neither Bernie or most of his supporters were Democrats over a year ago, so his "revolution" is even more of an insurgency as Trump's was on the right.
Likewise, I find it odd that people are outraged that the party chair was caught doing what's best for the party. If the Democrats stick center left, they have almost no chance of losing the election. If they align themselves with the progressives, reddit liberals, and the far left, it would be absurdly easy to paint them as out of touch, both with the country and with reality. There's a reason Clinton went with Kaine and not Warren. Have you ever actually read Bernie's opinions on the economy?
The DNC's job isn't to collude with one candidate over another. Also, the people voting for Bernie were the ones that helped Obama get elected. They are Democrats just like the people voting for trump are Republicans.
You're ideas on politics are about a decade old. Obama was elected as part of this distrust and disgust of established officials. Trump, Sanders and Cruz are a further example of people being angry.
Hillary should be listening, which she isn't. Having Sanders supporters stay home or vote green party will hurt her massively.
A bit out of left field with the decade old comment, no? Anyhow, Sanders supporters will either vote for Hillary anyhow, since they truly are not THAT different in terms of policy, especially in 2016, and the voting preference polls reflect that regardless of what people's facebook posting habits claim, or they were never going to vote in the first place, which is all to common with 20-something "revolutionaries." She gains far more by courting independents, business friendly center or center-left individuals, and Republicans disgusted with Trump than she would by courting the Occupy Wall Street subsection of society.
Further, are you arguing that people should be electing leaders based on anger and politicians should shape their views based on populist outcry? Personally I would prefer my leaders to rise above the lowest common denominator.
Hillary Clinton could be caught sacrificing animals to an altar of satan and still 47% of Americans would vote for her. People vote their interests. For 47% of the population, that means putting politicians in power that steal from those that work and then redistribute to those that don't.
I think the biggest reason is the fact that you've got Trump as the republican nominee. If you had Romney or Ryan instead, I'm guessing (hoping?) it would be different. Although, I concede that I'm not even sure I believe this anymore. The common people have become so socialist that I honestly think there's a good chance you're correct in your analysis.
She should've resigned after the 2010 midterms.
Edited.
Moving on.
Three new DNC heads in 24 hours, what a mess.
Hilarious having about a thousand protesters march past my apartment yesterday. This'll be entertaining at least.
I am shocked, SHOCKED, that the party establishment saw a socialist/independent that became a democrat just to run for president as an outsider. I am shocked, SHOCKED, that the establishment wanted HRC to win. What a surprise. Just scandalous. It'll cost her the presidency for sure (lol).
The DNC knows its supporters are idiots. They want Hillary because they're worried about the foolish policies of Bernie and the far left too. They're just too scared to admit it.
Btw, tell Bernie to suck a fat cock
