The incompetent Debbie Wasserman Schultz is out of touch with her own caucus:
...Since her election to Congress, Wasserman Schultz has quickly earned a reputation as a partisan warrior and strong cable news presence who could effectively put Republicans on their heels. Being both a woman and from the battleground state of Florida didn’t hurt either.
But, like “The Hangover Part II,” Wasserman Schultz hasn’t quite lived up to her billing.
From the start, there has been gaffe after gaffe, which either demonstrates a blind partisanship that shuns facts or a wide disconnect from the average voter.
Wasserman Schultz has insisted, “We continue to be on the right track” and that Obama “helped the economy do a 180” — despite polling and economic data screaming otherwise.
On Medicare, her rhetoric has been extreme. Claiming Republicans would “throw you to the wolves” earned the congresswoman a trifecta of media rebukes: The Washington Post, calling the claim “bogus,” gave her three “Pinocchios.” FactCheck.Org said, “DNC Chair Throws Truth to ‘Wolves,’” while PolitiFact just said, “We rate her statement false.”
Meanwhile, an expert cited by the DNC to support the chairwoman’s claims labeled her comments “high-octane idiocy.”
Wasserman Schultz said last month that Democrats “added 12 years of solvency to Medicare,” later dialing it back to eight years. She had no evidence of support and was corrected, on-air, by CBS’s Harry Smith.
She has given Republicans material to use through the 2012 election cycle. Discussing the economy, Wasserman Schultz told Mike Allen — and those assembled and tweeting — at a recent POLITICO Playbook breakfast, “We are clearly responsible. I am going to take ownership right now. … Yeah we own — we own the economy.”
This led National Review’s Jim Geraghty to write that Wasserman Schultz “almost makes the [Republican National Committee’s] job too easy.”
...After she claimed, “If it were up to the candidates for president on the Republican side, we would be driving foreign cars,” the RNC pointed out that Wasserman Schultz herself drives a Japanese Infiniti.
...Calling her a “chump,” the Orlando Sentinel said Wasserman Schultz is “embarrassing her party and her constituents. Stop already.”
Her totally ducking questions isn't helping either. here she gets called on it by liberal Chuck Todd:

Subject: Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman-Schultz
Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!
I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.
You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!
Steadfast and Loyal
Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)
We don't expect anything less from Debbie Downer:
