i want to read to you what debbie wasserman shultz had to say over the weekend.he said to my think we believe that women can see through that nice shiny packaging that the republicans have been putting out there, that to what is inside which is really a disaster for women's future, extreme policies. to call some of the women, governors, the ones who spoke at the republican convention, nice, shiny packaging is really an insult, as did? >> it is very much an insult. she refers to them and i think other minority candid it's as being window dressing. i think it's very insulting, and i'm not really sure who she appeals to. the accomplishments of people like mark rubio warnke, people who are really inspiring. so i don't think she helps anybody with those kind of comments. >> the counter to that, she herself is a member of congress, but she herself was put in that job because a great opera of, not because she's been a great spokesperson, the internal polls of the obama campaign to misuse the word spokesperson they have anywhere to. basically a picture before a picture b

we heard from debbie wasserman-shultz who said they wanted to get names and e-mails and encourage gethe vote efforts, party enthusiasm. now there is a backlash by some who are saying this cancellation, the movement wasn't in their view about lack of democratic enthusiasm but the quote is from the charlotte observer * it might soon be. >> i find it very unlikely this was purely about the weather. as late as wednesday they were saying they are were going to do this rain or shine. it seems implausible to me with a 20% likelihood of rain and sort after zero percent likelihood of severe weather according to to of the meteorologists they talked to that something else is going on. i see this as part of the larger problem that intawm overpromises and underdelivers. they promised to fill the stadium and have this dramatic night and they are not going to do it. i think that's a bad story for them. megyn: there are reports they were concerned about turnout and video of tens of thousands of people standing in what could have been a rainy partially filled stadium with drapes over their heads look
