<snip>
When Clinton fainted in New York City while suffering a bout of pneumonia, Brazile writes that she considered replacing her and her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, with Biden and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, reports The Post, which received an advanced copy of the book.
Brazile says she thought a Biden-Booker ticket stood the best chance of winning over working-class voters and defeating Republican Donald Trump.
In the end, though, Brazile couldnt bring herself to give Clinton the boot, even though she thought Clinton was a sincere but flawed candidate whose ,reeked with the odor of failure.
I thought of Hillary, and all the women in the country who were so proud of and excited about her, Brazile wrote. I could not do this to them.

I found this very interesting and post it as another POV...

But to write as if this was something she could actually do and was actually considering it until she thought of others feelings ???????

(64,933 posts)Democratic Party had already nominated them. Seems to be a really odd claim. I think she blowing bullshit smoke out her ass.
If she had pulled a stunt like that, the Democratic Party would have been destroyed in the GE, giving tRump and the Repubs a mandate to destroy the country.

And what can be misconstrued as ego, is simply the fact that he had to wear his confidence strongly being the first black president working against a GOP Congress and their voters that didnt accept an African American in the WH. He could not appear weak in any way. Women in positions of power are told something similar. Rather than being strong and confident theyre called things like b*.

(1,009 posts)She wanted to throw out Clinton just because she had pneumonia?? Oh give me a break.
She sounds like a narcissist tbh, thinking she holds sole power over that decision.
