The Democratic National Committee is finally acknowledging that the 2014 midterm elections were disastrous for them. But instead of realizing that this GOP wave election was primarily a referendum on President Obama and his party, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is planning to review the execution of the party’s election strategy to see where it went wrong.
“We know we’re right on the issues. The American people believe in the causes we’re fighting for. But the electoral success we have when our presidential nominee is able to make the case to the country as a whole, doesn’t translate in other elections,” she said in a video sent out to supporters.
“That’s why we lost in 2010, and it’s why we lost on Tuesday. We’ve got to do better.”
Wasserman Schultz said she will be appointing a committee of Democratic party organizers, activists and strategists to review what happened in the 2014 elections. She plans to release the report at the DNC’s winter meeting early next year.
“We are going to look at where we fell short. We’re going to identify our mistakes,” she says in the video. “And we’re going to talk to the smartest people in our party and the most dedicated Democrats in the country to build on what we’ve done that works and find solutions for things that are broken.”
But apparently just broken election strategies, not the party’s flawed policies.
