Donna Brazile writing an article about how uh, Debbie Wasserman Schultz screwed the pooch so bad when she was running the DNC that it was in deep in the red going into the primaries

and the Clinton campaign covered their debts before she even announced, through a deal that gave them personnel and budgeting control equivalent to an incumbent president or nominee

she doesn’t… say that Clinton used that to lean on any part of the system to favor her over Bernie in the primary but she sure uses like a third of the piece to nod suggestively in that direction and evoke a sense of noble Bernie betrayed

I’m pretty sure this article is effectively a career maneuver for Donna Brazile, via Politico’s access journalism role as an exclusive outlet for insider squabbles, though I expect it to reach a broad audience that might not appreciate that

I mean the election did proceed on novelistic logic and it would totally make sense for the neoliberal candidate to capture a party by buying outstanding debt
