So it looks like the Dems are starting to head towards the general more and more now. It also appears that she may not care for Trump. :dunno:

DNC chief: Trump is not a fringe candidate
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz had some scathing words for the Republican Party after its front-runner, Donald Trump, continued to pile up primary wins Tuesday night.
“Let’s dispel with the notion that Donald Trump is a fringe candidate – tonight he became the presumptive Republican nominee," she said in a statement, echoing a line Marco Rubio repeatedly used at a recent debate.
"Let’s also be clear: This is not a hostile takeover of the Republican Party. This is the culmination of years of divisive and extreme politics embraced by Republican leaders more concerned with obstruction and Washington power grabs than the hard work of governing on behalf of all Americans."
Wasserman Schultz went on to compare Trump's divisive rhetoric to that of Republicans in the past.
“Donald Trump is the standard-bearer of a Republican Party that produced candidates like Todd Akin, who said there was such a thing as ‘legitimate rape;’ Newt Gingrich who said laws preventing child labor are ‘truly stupid;’ and Mitt Romney who said African Americans trade their votes for ‘free stuff’ and coined the term ‘self-deportation,’ " she said.
