You may remember Wasserman Schultz as the DNC chair who had to step down because leaked emails revealed that she and her staff actively conspired to undermine the Sanders campaign and insure that Clinton won the Democratic nomination.
The controversy chased away grassroots Sanders supporters, some of whom voted for Trump in protest. The media coverage of the scandal hurt the Clinton campaign beyond those lost voters.
Worse, a lot of us believe that Sanders had a better chance to defeat Trump than Clinton. Change voters in the middle of the political spectrum went for Trump, because they saw Clinton as a "business as usual" politician. Many would have voted for Sanders, given the option. Young and liberal voters who were inspired by Sanders were uninspired by Clinton. Sanders is a vastly more inspiring speaker, and he likely could have stoop up to Trump more effectively. Wasserman Schultz was the leader of the underhanded efforts to play favorites for the mainstream candidate that ensured Sanders' defeat.
So, Wasserman Schultz help handed Trump the election in two ways, yet she has the nerve to criticism Sanders for encouraging the sort of grassroots action that worked for him in his campaign? Someone with this much lack of decorum and responsibility for her actions belongs in the Trump administration.
She is a great example of much of what has been wrong with the DNC that has helped put the Republicans in power. She represents uninspiring, party-line politics without passion or vision, and is part of a political evolution that has made Democrats appear too mealy mouthed and politically correct for moderates, and yet too status quo to inspire liberals.
She owes Sanders, the Democratic party, and the nation an apology - not more attempts to work against Sanders regarding grassroots voters.
