WILL DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ FEEL THE BERN?

Would it surprise you to find out that Bernie Sanders is not especially taken with Democratic National Committee Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz?

If you are aware of how completely Ms. Schultz has stacked the deck against his candidacy, the answer is probably no.

And if you’re that far along, you probably also would not be surprised to find out that, if he gets the chance, Mr. Sanders will make sure that Ms. Schultz is canned as Chairperson.  In fact, if Bernie Sanders has his way, DWS won’t even be a congressperson.

Excerpted from Jesse Hellmann’s article at thehill.com:

Bernie Sanders is giving his support to Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s primary opponent amid tensions with her and the DNC.

Sanders also said if elected president, he would effectively terminate her chairmanship of the DNC.

Wasserman Schultz will be facing Tim Canova in the Democratic primary for Florida’s 23rd congressional district.
“Well, clearly, I favor her opponent,” Sanders told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview to air Sunday on “State of the Union.” “His views are much closer to mine than as to Wasserman Schultz.”

Sanders’s comments come as tensions between him and party leaders escalate. Last weekend saw a chaotic state convention in Nevada in which Sanders supporters angrily opposed rules they thought unfairly benefited Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Wasserman Schultz and other Democratic party leaders called on Sanders to condemn the actions of his supporters, but he defiantly accused the state party and leadership of favoring Clinton instead.

So tell me:  how do you figure the Democrats’ national convention is going to run this year?  Smoothly?  Happily, Uneventfully?

Yeah, rrrrright.

The Democrat convention (being held, ironically enough in “the city of brotherly love”) has the potential to make Republicans’ Trump-dominated extravaganza look boring by comparison.

I’m not sure if they should be running it on the networks, or Comedy Central.

But one thing I’m pretty sure of:  neither Mr. Sanders nor Ms. Wasserman Schultz will be laughing.
