Columns and The Spin Cycle: News and Blog by Donna Brazile

The latest:

Win the election. Win the argument. 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 11-8-2013 | Posted in: News

After winning re-election, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said, “The GOP needs to win elections, not arguments.” To which Jay Heinrichs, author of the rhetoric handbook “Thank You for Arguing” responded, “Wrong, governor. The election WAS the argument, and you just won.” Christie did indeed, and by a landslide. But there was another nationally watched […]

Can the right wing ever compromise? 0

A remarkable thing just happened in Congress. Republicans and Democrats sat down together to work out a budget. This hasn’t happened since 2009. House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan — Romney’s running mate, you’ll recall, and the hero of fiscal conservatives — told Politico, “Let’s understand what we’re doing here, we’re going back to regular order. […]

Don’t Stop Believin’ 0

The leaves are turning yellow and orange and red, and others have already fallen. You can smell the seasons in the air. Thanksgiving’s on my mind and a winter of more discontent. It’s been a hard year — doesn’t it seem like every year’s a hard year? — and I feel like sharing a few […]

All over again 0

When the shutdown ended, our public officials sounded like fraternity boys with a hangover after a disastrous weekend drinking binge. “Never again!” spewed and dribbled from the lips of Republicans and Democrats alike. “We need to make sure that government does not go through another round of brinksmanship,” Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said on “Meet […]

Republicans, stop living in fear 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 10-15-2013 | Posted in: News

As Senate negotiators, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell huddle for another day to avoid the nation’s default this week, we’ll know in a few days if Congress — more accurately, House Republicans — will choose to plunge this nation into a second recession, possibly triggering a global financial meltdown, […]

Democrats Won’t Vote for ‘Independent’ Republicans 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 10-13-2013 | Posted in: News

While a plurality of Americans are somewhere between the two parties when it comes to ideology and would be open to independent candidates in theory, the infrastructure of the two parties and the partisanship of districts makes it nearly impossible for an independent candidate to win. The only way independent candidates could be successful is […]

Discharging their duties 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 10-12-2013 | Posted in: News

To give credit where credit is due, House Speaker John Boehner is the best spinmeister in Washington. He could argue that a skunk is a midget zebra with the stripe running the wrong way. And probably believe it himself. No one does political melodrama as well as the speaker. Witness his performance on ABC’s “This […]

Ted Cruz forgot to plan his endgame 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 10-8-2013 | Posted in: News

We’re used to theatrics in Washington. Often, there are games to be played before the people’s business gets done. There are rules to the games, though they’re sometimes squishy, since no one wins all the time and payback can be a problem. Also, despite the egos running higher than a kid on candy corn, politics […]

Donna Brazile takes on food stamp critics 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 10-1-2013 | Posted in: News

After the vote in the House of Representatives to slash the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, I wrote a column against cutting food stamps. This column generated more than 5,200 online comments and hundreds of e-mails. Comments reflected, not surprisingly, the tone and tenor of the political debate: a lot of partisan passion, some mutual understanding, […]

Brazile: Quaterback Obama calls the signals 0

Posted by: Donna Brazile | Posted on: 10-1-2013 | Posted in: News

September is over, and even though we have most of fall and a small part of winter to go, for some, the end of the year is nigh. For baseball and its fans, for instance, the year ends in October. And for my Jewish friends, the old year ended about three weeks ago and the […]
