I'm still trying to understand Donna Brazile's motivation. Did her editors demand...

some sizzle to sell her book; was the book itself a last ditch effort for a final big paycheck since her political/pundit career is just about over from the news of her leaking debate questions to Clinton; was she trying to curry favor with the Sanders wing by basically smearing the Clinton/Obama wing, and now the interviews on FOX?

WTH was she thinking with this book?

so marketing and self-promotion. I have empathy, hard for a consultant to get hired after backing a losing GE candidate so needed to re-invent herself. If not would end up like Tad Devine, forced to sell his wares in the Ukraine and work with a sleaze like Manafort propping up Putin puppets.

She overdid it though, fucked up badly. No Democrat will hire her now to work on a campaign.

Jmho ymmv

Listening to her interviews I believe she was genuinely over stressed and felt locked or trapped with little recourse to cope with it.
