Just an fyi - DWS was not hired by Hillary. linkBeing an honorary chair of a campaign—a position that involves no responsibilities, no employees, no budget, and no duties—is not a promotion from being chair of the DNC. Being an honorary chair does not mean that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is “in charge of” Hillary Clinton’s campaign. It doesn’t mean anything. That is, unless you think President Obama’s 2012 campaign was run by actress Eva Longoria; or former Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee; or high school guidance counselor Loretta Harper—all of whom were among 24 people who served as honorary co-chairs of Obama’s 2012 campaign. Being an honorary chair is not a job. It’s a courtesy. It’s the associate producer of politics. It’s an empty title handed out to help ease Debbie Wasserman Schultz out of her chair and make it slightly more palatable for her to leave a job she’d done (badly) for five years without putting up a fuss. |

The Hillary Campaign made her an honorary chairperson so she wouldn't give the opening speech at convention which would of caused a huge protest by the Sanders supporters. It's as simple as that. The Democrats want a good convention as opposed to the gloom and doom one put on by the Republicans.
Sorry conspiracy theorists nothing here.

Ya...it's a "courtesy", it's a "soft landing"...it's an attempt to not make another political enemy of someone who probably knows things. It's also the biggest "FU!" to Sanders supporters everywhere. So, the president didn't want to deal with Debbie might have said about him. That is interesting. The "most powerful man in the world", troubled by Little Debbie. |

Whoa, that is an interesting idea! It doesn't matter if she has no power as an honorary chair now, she had plenty when she was in charge of the DNC.

Why in the world would Hillary make Debbie Wasserman Schultz an honorary anything with all the hateful racist and sexist comments that came out on the DNC emails.? That is what leaves me puzzled. You would think Hillary would want to separate from that.

Didn't Obama, not Clinton, put her in charge of the DNC?

Okay, it wasn't Clinton. Doesn't negate anything. You think Obama isn't in the habit of trading political favors? Maybe paying Hillary back for stepping aside in 2008 and making his path to the presidency a bit less contentious? |

Washerman-Schultz has been described as thin-skinned, defensive, and a lot of other adjectives. She was a PIITA, and Obama didn't feel like handling it. I read somewhere that he thought that she would be Clinton's problem. that makes total sense to me. |

She seems to get along QUITE well with Clinton, so whether Obama thought of her as a problem doesn't really seem relevant. Clinton likes her, had her on her team in 2008 and has her back on her team now in spite of the lightening rod she's become. It looks bad. REAL bad. |
