Wasserman Schultz: Sometimes you have to take one for the team

Debbie Wasserman Schultz leads her Democratic challenger Tim Canova by eight percentage points in Florida’s 23d Congressional District by eight percentage points, 46 percent to 38 percent, according to a new poll released Sunday by the Canova campaign.

“This has been a hard week”. After keeping a low profile this week, she appeared at a National Jewish Democratic Council reception to receive an award but declined to talk to a reporter. But I am so proud of my team, some of whom are here, that helped put this together. And that’s what happened. “The use of party resources for her personal campaign seems that would be a violation of federal law and we are preparing a complaint to the FEC”, Canova told Larry King last week.

On Monday, Wasserman Schultz showed up in Philadelphia to address a Florida Democratic delegation breakfast.

The survey, conducted by the Los Angeles-based polling group of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3), was conducted immediately after Wasserman Schultz stepped down as head of the Democratic National Committee last week.

“I think that Muslim father of the young man who died in Iraq was absolutely right: that somebody like Trump does not understand the Constitution of the United States”, Sanders said.

Wasserman Schultz did more than attend Clinton’s party.

Within hours it was announced that Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake, the DNC secretary, would take over Wasserman Schultz’s convention duties – a move that would keep the Floridian entirely in the background of a gathering that was seen as recently as a few weeks ago as her crowning achievement. She has not come onstage, and aside from occasional sightings of her relayed by Twitter users, she has remained out of the public eye.

Socialist Bernie Sanders is now lecturing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on the constitution – but does he mean the U.S. Constitution or the Soviet Constitution?

The outgoing chair offered effusive praise of Clinton today, telling those at the reception how she supported Clinton even before the candidate announced her run in 2008. I might not convince everybody that I’m right. “I am taking off one hat but putting on another”, she said.
