Embattled Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is so out of touch with everyday voters that she’s practically tearing her own party apart.
And Schultz’s latest fundraising ploy sure won’t mend any fences.
Tim Canova, who is challenging Schultz in a primary for her Florida Congressional, blasted Schultz this week for her latest special interest fundraiser.
Next week, at an event organized by a major Florida labor group, fat-cat donors will spend $5,400 just to have a bagel with Schultz. As Canova pointed out, it’s the latest evidence of Schultz’s shadowy ties to big money and Wall Street donors — the same types of people she often publicly criticizes.
“It would take a working American making the minimum wage in Florida 671 hours — more than 16 weeks of work — just to be able to afford that bagel and speak with their member of Congress,” Canova wrote in an email to supporters. “I don’t know about you, but that must be some bagel.”
Schultz, who has long faced criticism for her handling of the Democratic presidential primary, is reportedly in the hot seat as DNC chief. Reports surfaced this week that even members of Congress who support Hillary Clinton were looking to oust Schultz.
Clinton’s challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, is backing Canova in the Florida primary.

Another carpetbagger originally from Queens, NYC. The Democratic Party used to be the party of the working class and most middle class. The 1992 election of Clinton saw the almost complete removal of working class influence in the Democratic Party. It fast became a party for freeloaders and self-proclaimed elitists. To be fair, the GOP is no prize today either. I remember in the early 1990’s how a successful friend of mine wanted to have a small fundraiser for Congressman Joe Kennedy. The Kennedy folks got “insulted” because the amount of the fundraiser was “too small” . Like me, my friend no longer supports Democrat candidates. Do we really live in a democracy?
Very insightful comment–it is interesting how both parties have gravitated to the ones who have priced them totally out of the range of the average voters
Remember, your dealing with Clintonian logic. They still define themselves as the party of the working class. It is the definition of working class that is changed. The party headed by “it depends on what the meaning of is is” and in reference to the 4 dead at Benghazi, “what difference does it make now” has now defined the working class as 200k a year and up. Obviously the further up from 200k that you are, the harder you worked. Incongruously, they also define those on welfare as working class because they had to fill out a form (or at least answer a few questions) to get on welfare.
We’ve never been a Democracy.. The only true democracy that I’m aware of is the ancient Greeks in Athens, which didn’t last that long. Our system was founded as an updated version of the Roman system which was a representative republic. Where the people elect representatives to make rules, law , and policies. Our founding father’s used the template of the Roman system not the ancient Athenians. We’ve never been a true democracy.
Correct. I have read that, after the adoption of the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government was proposed. His answer was, “A republic… if you can keep it.”
56-
You’re almost right; although the F&F did use the early Roman Republic as a model, their improvement upon it was to add a Constitution to which all officeholders are required to pledge their fealty, ergo a “Constitutional Republic.” The unfortunate thing is that although the American People thus have a tool to keep their representatives in check, they’ve never used it, i.e. never had a single officeholding soul arrested for violating that oath. The USA PATRIOT act should have resulted in a slew of felony perjury convictions, ALONE.
As a perhaps-interesting aside, “democracy” as a system of governance was completely rejected and despised by the F&F, due to it’s fatal flaw: when the population discovers it can vote itself benefits from the treasury, the country is soon bankrupted. In addition, the F&F – being well-acquainted with governmental tyranny – knew that a tyranny of the majority differs but slightly from the tyranny of a king or queen.
And one more thing: the Communists do their level best to first establish a democracy in every country they plan to overwhelm as a
necessary first step toward their illusory “worker’s paradise.” In congruence with Hitler’s “Big Lie” strategy, teevee talking heads continually praise democracy and condone it’s export. As a result, most damn-fool Americans now think that America not only has a democracy, but that it’s a Good Thing, too!
Ain’t programming wonderful?
One more perhaps-sobering fact:
“Norman Thomas(perennial Socialist candidate) and Gus Hall, the U.S. Communist Party Candidate, both quit American politics, agreeing that the Republican and Democratic parties by 1970 had adopted every plank on the Communist/Socialist agenda, and they no longer had an alternate party platform on which to run.”
Actually, no, we DON’T live in a democracy, though Obama has been trying REAL HARD to change that! As Benjamin Franklin said, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.”
Our Founding Fathers rightly regarded “democracy” as MOB RULE. When asked what they had given us following the American Revolution, Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it!”
WE are and HAVE BEEN a Constitutional Republic, though that concept has been under determined attack–mostly lately from the Obama administration.
Amen Ms JoAnn! I copied the quote for my reportar. Great Thought!
Or maybe I should say:
repertoire: noun
1.
the list of dramas, operas, parts, pieces, etc., that a company, actor, singer, or the like, is prepared to perform.
2.
the entire stock of works existing in a particular artistic field:
A new play has been added to the theatrical repertoire.
3.
the entire stock of skills, techniques, or devices used in a particular field or occupation:
PS: Not trying to teach anything, just keeping my skills honed!
JoAnn Graham-
i believe that the only way to restore our Republic will be to hold all representatives feet to the fires of the Constitution they swore oaths to. By this i mean felony perjury arrests for every act that violates the “few and defined” powers outlined in that document…and this is the principle which should be in effect:
“When the government fears the People, there is liberty; when the People fear the government, there is tyranny.”
IMO, there should have been another Revolution when a truncated Christmastime Congress voted for the Federal Reserve Act; THEY are the ones who shirked their duty to “coin money and declare it’s value,” which power they Unconstitutionally handed over to a private banking cartel. Slowly, and by degrees, Americans were conditioned to accept paper AS money, not merely representative of the gold or silver which made it good – which is the true source of all inflation. We have had a dishonest money-system in place since then, exacerbated first by FDR, who made it “illegal” to hold private property(gold), then by Nixon, who arbitrarily and unilaterally abrogated the Bretton Woods agreement(35 dollars/per oz. gold) and removed silver as a backing for the FRN in 1965.
But most people have little clue(or interest) about an honest v. dishonest monetary system. If the rumors i’ve been hearing are true, it won’t be long before the entire insane system collapses due to the largest banks gambling on “derivatives.”
BTW, the real reason for the attacks on Libya? Immense gold and silver reserves, all stolen, now. The country – once the most prosperous in Africa – is now in ruins, a haven for the “Islamic Caliphate.” Thanks are due to The Liar for this debacle, though most Americans seem concerned only with the slaughter of 4 Americans in Benghazi.
Debbie was never the sharpest tool in the tool box……………………..I remember her from way back. How she got as far as she has, I will never know. It’s catching up with her now……………………………………….
The Communist Party had a pamphlet out in the late sixties, with a list of 21 objectives that they needed to reach to take over America without firing a shot (I think they miscalculated on the “no shots” thing).
They have reached most of those goals now, two of which were to infiltrate or public schools and one of the major parties.
Regarding the latter goal, the last count I saw on the number of members of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) was over 70 – all Democrats.
If one uses the fact that socialism is really nothing more than communism lite (socialists take some of your stuff; communists take all of your stuff) in the calculation, and that tally would go up substantially.
Not that there aren’t socialists in the Republican Party, too, but it’s pretty obvious which is the party most likely infiltrated by the Communist Party.
The Democrats today tell the working class that they don’t have any time to help. However, they still are invited to a fundraiser. Marginal people with titles acting like creeps.
Must be an ‘Everything’ bagel fundraiser because that’s what the Dems are promising.
Do you think a lap dance by a barely dressed young lady is included with that Bagel ?
The “little orphan Annie” look-a-like who can’t utter more than one sentence without numerous vocal pauses and um’s, ah’s which speaks volumes about her mental capacity. She’s the personification of the women of the “democratic party” Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer et all – small d, small brains.
Vote all those JEWS out now
John. Truer words were never spoken. You got that right.
John could not agree with you more. If you look at what the democratic woman have done over the last 16 years especially the group you mentioned they have all harmed this nation and economy deeply. Yet if you look at where most of the pork goes that is written into these bills, guess these queens are the leaders of the pack at getting taxpayer dollars for pet projects that mean nothing. Most people don’t know that Pelosi got 650k for a KOI bridge to be built in San Fran written as a pork project in Obama Care, maybe that’s why we should pass it before we read it was her reasoning. It goes on on on with this group. Wasserman Shultz thought that she could ride Hillary’s coat tails to greater things. All of these women need to go to prison, for crimes against the American People.
I think there is a problem more serious than not smart – it’s EVIL !!!!
You can only hope that they choke on their bagel
Couldn’t happen to a nicer gal!!! If she’s tearing apart the DNC by all means let her stay!
Typical fascist liberal behavior, I believe……
Come on, America! These are committed Leftist Liberals. Are, we real Americans expecting them the have any common sense? So far, these mental midgets have run our America into a fourth level robber barren run country. Of course, their top leader is the missing Kenyan village idiot and his top friend, Hillary Clinton. Is anyone really surprised?
Vacations and Bagels, sounds typical how the DEMO-RAT handle the peoples money. I wish all American would fire all of the non conservative politicians who are not doing their elected jobs. LOL with that.
The Democrats which are now the Clintoncrats=Demoncrats who are endorsing that damned POS B@&CH Hitlery Killery ROTTON Clinton
for Figurehead say it’s alright for Hitlery Killery ROTTON Clinton to rip off people, but their own party chairperson it’s not. They have the double
Standard, and they have lied to, snubbed and stabbed the Working Class in the back. The Clinton’s are the ones that started it in 1992. I was
a Democrat till that years. I left the Democratic now Clintoncratic Pary=Demoncratic Party because of them and having grown up in a working
class home was stabbed in the back, lied to and betrayed by them. Many working class are going to vote for Trump this year, many Working Class
are also going to vote Libertarian, as a result the Demoncrats thanks to Sleazeball, draft dodger former Figurehead Bill Clinton and he damned
POS B@&CH wife Hitlery Killery ROTTON Clinton have lost their and going to lose more of their Working class backers. People like the Clinton’s
are the true & real free loaders who only give a few crumbs to others to put on a show.
You know that a whole lot of people are reading your comment and saying, “I know you are, but what am I?”, don’t you?
DWS Is a piece of shit just like Hillary & Bill !! the f’n bums have raided millions from all over the world and the assholes keeping putting up with it How stupid !!!!
$5800.00 FOR A BAGEL? ……. Poor, Misguided Soul, . LOLOLOLOLOL
Bless Her Heart!, lol
Notwithstanding, to have a meeting with her, I guess, Many an idiot will pay the price…… Wonder what the price would be if we bring our own bagel????
This Bat$hit broad is the TRUE and GENUINE face of the
NEW Democratic Party! One would have thought she would
as the spokesperson for DNC – be unBIASED in her
promotions of presidential candidates . . .
BUT SHE IS UNASHAMADLY ALL IN FOR HILDERBEAST!
You are right, MoonBeam–this moron truly IS the genuine face of the NEW Democratic Party–clueless leftist who is COMPLETELY incompetent for the position she holds.
Why would anyone want to pay out good money to even be in her presence much less have a bagel with her? Perhaps she should be paying them to have a bagel with her. Maybe the next President will consider nominating her to be Ambassador to Austria.
I like Rush Limbaugh’s nickname Blabbermouth Schultz. Maybe she should shove a few of those bagels into that blabbering mouth of hers.
She an all of those FAT-CAT Donors, all have CAT-FECES for brains. This is kind of STUPID ATTITUDE , an FLAGRANT SPENDING of someone else,s money that has the USA in such a BAD PLACE.
Debbie Wetshershorts MUST GO!!!!!!!! Barack Hussein the Blowhard is turning America into a Communist/ Socialist Country.
Both Parties are in on O-blowhard’s fundamental change he talked so much about, now we know what he was talking about.
A big change for the worst ever in my life of 60+ years.
ANY party that would make THIS moron their “chairperson” deserves whatever they get! If Nancy Pelosi is the Queen of the MOONBATS, then THIS idiot is her lady-in-waiting!
Have you listened to the other DNC committee members? They say and sound just like Waasaman. The talking points and lies are identical, their manner of argument is identical. They are all the same, Wassaman is simply the one put out front, takes the glory, takes the heat.. and if replaced, another exact copy in all respects except appearance is waiting to take over the Chairman.
I know its easy to say Wassaman is the failure.. but it is the agenda and corruption that is the failure, Wassaman just epitomizes the situation.
Yeah, and it was $100,000 a couple to meet Hillary Clinton at George Clooney’s house. It was $25,000 a plate to attend Donald Trump’s fundraiser. This is politics as usual, folks.
Schultz should have invited the Pentagon brass. They would probably think it a bargain to get something like a bagel for that price.
I thought that Hilary was supposed to be chucking her girlfriend, L’ll Debbie, under the bus for some reason or other? What ever happened to that hope? That might have been Hillary’s one chance to do something good for the voters.p
I have read several of these comments. I agree with all of you who are discussed with both Democrats and Republicans. The government can’t see or choose not to see, that we are disgusted with our government. Both parties are all out for themselves, and the wealthy. Most of us are just average citizens. Neither party cares about us, or our children, or our children’s children and so on. I voted for Obama, with the hope that he would make a difference for the better. Unfortunately, he not only did not make our country better, but he made everything worse. The thing is even if I voted for a Republican running against him, it would have been just as bad. The government, Republicans and Democrats, Presidents, Senators, Governors, Congressmen and Congress women, etc. have failed us all in this country, the country our sons and fathers, and grandfathers, and great grandfathers, and so on have fought for to protect. The government has thrown them under the bus too. Now and then a president decorates someone in the military with a medal. Big deal, a medal. Try helping them, and their families when they lose their homes, and can no longer work, because of post traumatic stress disorder. Not all of their wounds are on the outside, many on the inside.
I call her Debbie “Wash Her Hair” Schultz. Every time I see her being interviewed, I get so angry from all of the lies she spews. Her hair always looks dirty, so I have dubbed her the above nickname. Lol! Crooked Hillary will not be good for our country! She is a trader and so is DWS!! Oh AND Pelosi, Reid, Obama and basically everyone else that is THAT FAR LEFT are traders as well.
What are they trading? Influence for money? Politicians on both the left and the right and in the middle do that. It’s in their nature, I’m afraid.
I think Melissa meant traitors not trader. I understood what she meant. They do however trade money for votes.
They are traders and traitors. Anything they do, they get something in return to benefit themselves. Yes…both parties have their issues, but the far left are evil. Did I misspell anything? I despise RINO’s as well, but when I see Obama, Clinton, Wasserman, Pelosi, Ried and others, I get sickened by what they are doing to Americans.
Schultz is like most politicians. She says she is looking out for the average person but she spends her time courting the wealthy. It looks like she is about to suffer the same fate as Micky Cantor.
Remember, Bill smoked it but didn’t inhale it, he looked at it but didn’t touch it, Hillary had several abortions and but wasn’t party to causing what made it happen…They are as innocent as a new born child… both of them… draft dodgers and hippies…
Wonder if that bagel is tax deductible????
