Add Debbie Downer to the long list of Democrats running from Obama policies
(Bloomberg) Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Wednesday refused to associate Democratic Senate candidates with President Barack Obama’s policies.
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,â€Â host Joe Scarborough repeatedly asked Wasserman Schultz if votes for Democrats would be votes for the continuation of Obama’s policies. Wasserman Schultz, a representative from South Florida, became the latest in a long line of Democrats to point out that Obama is not up for election this year.
“Barack Obama was on the ballot in 2012 and 2008,†Wasserman Schultz said.
Pressed further, she did not refute that Democratic candidates align with Obama’s policies, but also refused to affirm it. Asked again, she said that votes for Democrats would be votes for “candidates who are focused on creating jobs.â€
Maybe we should instead call her “Debbie Deflection”.
Funny thing is, neither Charles nor David Koch are on the ballot, yet Dems are constantly bringing them uo.
If even Debbie Whatshername Schultz is trying to finesse away Democratic adherence to President Obama’s policies, to what the incumbent Democrats all supported, you know that the Democrats are desperate.
At this point, it’s so blatant and so bad that it seems almost like a conscious attempt to induce a complacency which will keep Republican voters at home.
I love the smell of desperation in the morning!
I’m hoping every Republican voter feels the Dem desperation and gets out there to vote.
