The Zach calling her out moment owned so much after the bad dems had a weepy excuse session at DNC HQ.

People still insult that guy on twitter, without realizing it was horrific Dem campaigning since Obama took office that cost Dems everything everywhere not merely in the 2016 election. Zach was right to be angry, how could anybody not be angry that we were all hosed over because it was all riding on winning the presidency?

Zach's message lives on, even if Zach has vanished.

Yeah it's impossible to have any sort of optimism given how GOP now controls Congress, executive branch, half of state govs and also will get to replace the croaked Scalia with another Scalia clone.

Also the the bad dems and CC's main takeaway from getting humilated in the ballot box is they should continue to reuse the same failed campaign strategy and tactics.

Who is zach

He was DNC staffer who roasted Donna Brazile at the DNC HQ after she gave a lame speech the day after Trump won

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donna-brazile-democratic-national-committee_us_5824cb95e4b0ddd4fe7954e8

quote:

On Thursday, Democratic Party officials held their first staff meeting since Hillary Clinton’s stunning loss to Donald Trump in the presidential race. It didn’t go well.

Donna Brazile, the interim leader of the Democratic National Committee, was giving what one attendee described as “a rip-roaring speech” to about 150 employees, about the need to have hope for wins going forward, when a staffer identified only as Zach stood up with a question.

“Why should we trust you as chair to lead us through this?” he asked, according to two people in the room. “You backed a flawed candidate, and your friend [former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz] plotted through this to support your own gain and yourself.”

Some DNC staffers started to boo and some told him to sit down. Brazile began to answer, but Zach had more to say.

“You are part of the problem,” he continued, blaming Brazile for clearing the path for Trump’s victory by siding with Clinton early on. “You and your friends will die of old age and I’m going to die from climate change. You and your friends let this happen, which is going to cut 40 years off my life expectancy.”

Zach gathered his things and began to walk out. When Brazile called after him, asking where he was going, he told her to go outside and “tell people there” why she should be leading the party.
