Post-debate breakdown with DNC Chairwoman Wasserman Schultz
Despite the flurry of camera and recorder-wielding reporters who flooded campaigners in the spin room post-debate, we stumbled upon a somewhat inconspicuous Democratic National Committee Chairwoman and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., standing alone in the minutes immediately following the broadcast.
In a predictable effort to downplay the Republican Party and promote President Barack Obama, DWS calmly told us that she found the whole debate “not surprising and incredibly disappointing.” More of her thoughts below:
“I wasn’t surprised not to hear any proposals for how to get the American people back to work, how to create jobs," she said.
“Trying to pin down Mitt Romney is like trying to nail down Jello.”
Regarding the candidates' health care philosophies: “As a breast cancer survivor, it saddens me that they think we should go back to the old way of doing things.”
On all eight debating candidates: “Not only do they oppose the current policy, they propose nothing in the alternative.”
Summarizing the debate: “I don’t think it changes the dynamics at all.”
Regarding Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., endorsing former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., just hours before the debate: “It's just one governor with a dismal record on jobs supporting another governor with a dismal record on jobs.”
On the GOP candidates: “They’re all interchangeable.”
