(FOOD FIGHT!): Politics Donna Brazile: I considered replacing Clinton with Biden as 2016 Democratic nominee
Now i’m Really wondering about all this. She’s not been caught in any whoppers thus far BUT *this* is pretty out there. Out there as in:

Donna Brazile: I considered replacing Clinton with Biden as 2016 Democratic nomineeFormer Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile writes in a new book that she seriously contemplated replacing Hillary Clinton as the party’s 2016 presidential nominee with then-Vice President Biden in the aftermath of Clinton’s fainting spell, in part because Clinton’s campaign was “anemic” and had taken on “the odor of failure.”
In an explosive new memoir, Brazile details widespread dysfunction and dissension throughout the Democratic Party, including secret deliberations over using her powers as interim DNC chair to initiate the process of removing Clinton and running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.) from the ticket after Clinton’s Sept. 11, 2016, collapse in New York City.
Brazile writes that she considered a dozen combinations to replace the nominees and settled on Biden and Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.), the duo she felt most certain would win over enough working-class voters to defeat Republican Donald Trump. But then, she writes, “I thought of Hillary, and all the women in the country who were so proud of and excited about her. I could not do this to them.”

My comment: Oh spare me,
“I’m not Patsey the slave,” Brazile recalls telling them, a reference to the character played by Lupita Nyong’o in the film, “12 Years a Slave.” “Y’all keep whipping me and whipping me and you never give me any money or any way to do my damn job. I am not going to be your whipping girl!”

Maybe they did treat her like dirt and this is her revenge? She’s opened a huge can of worms here. And it is kind of funny watching all the worms squirm.

I’m still totally in the dark as to what she’s really up to.

All that matters is that we turn our self governing swords and shields into ploughshares and let their corporate benevolence wash over us.
That's it. That's the plan. Brazile doesn't step out of line with this if that's the strategy.

I posted this in your other essay, but it fits better here.
It doesn't address the agreement that Donna is talking about, it tells the details of her lining up the superdelegates and how much money people were able to donate.

Meta Comment: I Think We Have Russian Activity In Our Own Back Yard
This person seems to think that if ToP hadn't had so many diaries on this that it might have slipped bye and no one talked about it.
This person went on to write 15-20 comments in this vein and said that any criticism of the DP was should not be allowed because it helps republicans...![Dash 1](https://caucus99percent.com/sites/all/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/dash1.gif)

Well, well, well
Good grief, to be so lacking in self-awareness about what they do. Bless their hearts.
Getting serious for a moment
, if this is true, the only logical conclusion is that the infamous March 15 purging was instigated by Putin. Which would mean that ... well, who was it who did the purging?
Well, well, well.

Donna Brazile - Kingmaker?
She sounds as though she's off her rocker.
At this point, I don't believe any of these hacks. They'll say or do anything to gain an advantage.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
That comment is totally bizarre
But to the rest, here is someone in a position to know Her rigged the primary to begin with. Brazile apparently is well aware of the chaos Her is causing in the party. Then, Donna has serious reservations on Her health (I am guessing from the context) to the point where she realizes the need to replace Her on the ticket. But, she doesn't because her feels got in the way? Or something?
So, Brazile wants us to believe she was the last line of defence between what she knew was a fatally flawed campaign and losing to Trump (not that I think Biden/Booker would have been much of an improvement) and she couldn't do what she should have done, assuming the decision was hers to make. And we're supposed to feel how about this? I really don't get it. This may be the most confusing part yet of the "don't blame me, but here's all the dirt" tour she's on.
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
Maybe...but
While I'm sure they treated her like dirt (who haven't they?) all the quotes I've seen from Brazile, including the ones you bring up, are overly dramatic, self-pitying and self-serving, even as she's dishing her dirt. Even though she's confirming what I think happened, I just can't accept her at face value. I didn't trust her then and I still don't.
As to what she's up to, I think she's realized the bus has rolled by and she ain't on it. So, she's got a book to sell and is aiming for becoming a professional talking head. And I think she's trying to step out from any guilt she may feel or thinks she's been assigned (but again, who hasn't been blamed for Her's wipeout?)
This could get more interesting as it goes, especially if Brazile wraps herself in identity politics as she's done to deflect criticism before. Time will tell, as they say. How it ends or if it matters, I can't even guess.

No chance for her to be a talking head
not after she lied on CNN about giving Her debate questions. CNN canned her and I doubt any other network will pick her up. She's way too hot right now.
I'm with others who can't figure out what this game is, especially now. The media was talking non stop about the Mueller inditements and hasn't this kicked them off the networks?

I bet Obama's behind all this.
Here's the tell:*
Obama hasn't gone away. He's just Biden his time until Hillary implodes so he can take over the party infrastructure.
Donna's book helps that process along.
If you think about it, perhaps Obama set up his parallel party apparatus in the first place BECAUSE the DNC was already overrun with Hillbots.
That would explain his apparent neglect of the DNC: he figured it was Hillary's turf so why shouldn't she pay for it.
*Just dropped this comment on another thread but it works better here:
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
Holy shit! This is exactly what I thought they were going to do.
I predicted they would do this. Then they didn't. Would be interesting if they had really considered it.

Serious question, not snark. Who are you
talking about when you say:
Who is they? With control-freaks like the Clinton Creature and her campaign running things, who was there to consider something like this?
I’m only asking because maybe they’re the people behind Brazille now. Or involved in her game. My problem is (other than Sanders and his campaign) I cannot figure out who ‘they’ would be.

@Amanda Matthews Obama and his backers.
In addition, it was stupid running Hillary, even from the oligarch's perspective, and Obama is the smart oligarch's politician. They'll still destroy the world, but they'll do fewer stupid things along the way. So I really thought they might make a move to insert Biden at the convention. They'd have had a better chance of winning if they had done so, I think. Though with so much fraud going on, it's hard to make such assessments.

Obama is the kind who would do something
like bankrupt the DNC and abandon it. Someone posted in a different thread that he must have figured since the DNC was a Clinton-controlled opetation, then she could pay for it.
Yeah, he’s definitely a possibility.
Thanks!

@Cant Stop the Macedonian Signal
There was certainly a lot of talk about Biden, both as Vice President and as President in case Hill crashed but however often it was repeated, it seemingly didn't go over too well, as far as I recall.
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Apparently her decision came after Hillary "fainted"
And DB felt she would be physically unable to undergo the campaign? You remember that "CT." I guess more will come out when the book is published. Although DB is basically as far from my like list as HER herself, I am enjoying watching it play out. No sense wasting time talking to Dems/Hillbots about it. Neighborhood friends sent me a petition today from the Equality PAC asking me to sign if you agree with HRC about LBTQ+ rights... Not only did I let the neighbors know what I thought, but I immediately unsubscribed from that mailing list and as a reason told them that any organization using HER to build support is not one i could ever support. She just will not go away, will she!
@Zenza Agree with Hillary about
No, actually I don't agree with her.
