the democratic national committee does not run elections for primaries.ittee does not run elections. states run elections. and those elections were run by the states. we run caucuses and bernie sanders did very well in the caucus. where i think both senators warren and keith ellison and myself, where we agree is we have to earn the trust of the voters. and during the process of the democratic primary, we fell short in that, undeniably. i accepted that responsibility. here's what we're doing about it. number one, in the future moving forward to 2020, we're going to be announcing our democratic debate schedule before we know who the candidates are. because the number one goal has to be to be fair and transparent. all of our fund-raising agreements, our partnerships will be available to everyone, as they were actually in 2016. and then what we have to do is make sure we're also working with voters up and down america, rural america, urban america, everywhere in between to earn their trust. >> don't you owe the sanders campaign an investigation? i mean, donna

democratic national committee is not simply the party that helps elect the president every four years. we are the party that helps elect people -- democrats up and down the ticket from the school board to the oval office. when you are focused on every democrat, and when you do that by design, we do so by making sure we build strong state party apparatus uses and strong partnerships with our friends in the labor movement, with our friends in planned parenthood, with emerging organizations in the democratic ecosystem. that's how we succeed. and that's exactly what we are doing. we learned that we weren't organizing everywhere. and we have to be present and competing in every state and every zip code. and our new partnership with the 50 states we call it every zip code counts. because we have to make sure we're competing everywhere. we have to organize, organize, organize. not simply mobilize in the three months up to an election. we need to organize 12 months a year. we've taken the term off year out of the lexicon of the democratic party. because we win in 2018 by organizing in 2017. a

charlie: so the democratic national committee has failed the democratic party?na: well, look, howard dean had a 50-state strategy. once president obama got into office, we dropped that. that was a huge mistake because we didn't have resources to go into states like mississippi and louisiana. look at what happened earlier this year where we had congressional candidates in georgia and kansas, south carolina and montana. they did very well but over the last four years, we probably put less than $30,000 or $40,000 in those states. we put more in georgia because georgia became an expansion state. i think the party -- tom perez we put more in georgia because is doing a good job, the new chairman of the dnc -- i believe the party has to invest in critical races, down ballot races in the future. charlie: how could barack obama be such a good politician and be so unsuccessful? donna: barack obama came up against the establishment too. he was an outsider. he was not a democratic insider. charlie: but barack obama, in 2009, when he began governance. donna: right. i remembe
