Immediately bringing on Schultz showed a remarkable amount of tone deafness. The press is eating it up, and Bernie supporters are even more pissed. At the very least, they should have waited until after the convention to bring her over. ---

Being an “honorary” anything means a little less than being voted “Miss Congeniality”. ---

Hillary appointing DWS to an honorary position was for one valid political and governing reason – loyalty and friendship should mean one isn’t totally thrown under the bus. This means that other future staffers and those in the orbit of the Clintons will look to DWS as an example of the generosity of Hillary – even when things get tough, and you’ve probably still screwed up, she’ll still have a place for you as long as you’ve remained loyal to her. Maybe it’s cynical, but leaders need people like that who they can trust, and who trust them, and totally abandoning DWS could make it more likely that some of her people abandon her in the future if the going gets tough. ---
