22. DNC is a career killer. She should run for President.

Has anyone gotten an elected office after being DNC chair?

Crocket should go old school for the rest of 2026, showing up at every State Rep and State Senator candidate speech in Texas for the next 8 months to make as many friends as possible in the state. She would be a huge asset for these state level candidates, and every one of them that gets elected would want to pay her back.

I also think a gentle run for President could be a good idea. She shouldn't say anything inflammatory about other Democratic candidates, but use her candidacy to light up the Administration. She would make a lot of friends in the Democratic Party, and keep her name front and center. She would want to drop out early before she had to go after the other candidates, but she could potentially leverage her candidacy into a Cabinet position if she did it right, and that would position her well for a run at Cruz.

In my view, Martin is an utter failure. Lonestarblue Wednesday #36

Yep, such an utter failure that Democrats have flipped around 30 seats through special Wiz Imp Wednesday #37

I'm not sure that has anything to do with Martin. YodaMom2 Wednesday #42

Isn't that convenient. He gets no credit for winning but would get trashed for losing. Wiz Imp Wednesday #50

You actually replied to my comment, so I assumed you were speaking to me. YodaMom2 Wednesday #65

I don't have an opinion on the job he has done - we have flipped a lot of seats. My question is how often does the DNC 33taw Wednesday #60

Thanks. A loss to the House. yellow dahlia Wednesday #62

No. I like her but she's too combative for that position. Ocelot II Wednesday #15

She will likely not be in Congress next year. Happy Hoosier Wednesday #25

But fighting loudly isn't the DNC's job. Fundraising and organizing is its job. Ocelot II Wednesday #27

Likely? Try definitely. Wiz Imp Wednesday #39

I like that idea angrychair Wednesday #17

the party chair role is mostly background. themaguffin Wednesday #18

Fundraising and organizing, not policy. Ocelot II Wednesday #20

Absolutely! awesomerwb1 Wednesday #19
