"If the Democrats were smart—like, Donald Trump smart—they could turn this ugly dust-up to their advantage by crafting a narrative that Debbie is a scary powerful woman, unafraid to speak the truth and demolish anyone who stands in her way, the Devil Wears Prada lady of politics."
Except no one would believe a word of it. DWS has presided over the loss of both houses of Congress (even as both of Obama's campaigns were big successes, and even given the current GOP's state of disarray). She jettisoned Howard Dean's successful 50-state strategy. And now she's so intent on coronating Hillary that she'll scuttle the whole debate schedule if she has to. I don't say that as any kind of Bernie true believer, either - I'd be happy with either Hillary or Bernie as our nominee, I just happen to think that a healthy debate gets voters excited.
