'Underperforming' Debbie Wasserman Schultz makes hacktastic attempt to spin Florida election loss

Democrats are reeling from an embarrassing loss in the 13th district of Florida for a vacant congressional seat.  Democrat Alex Sink was defeated by Republican David Jolly to fill out the term of Republican Bill Young, who died in last fall. The district, which is widely considered a bellwether, was carried by President Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012. According to CNN, “Of those registered to vote in the district, 37% are Republicans, about 35% are Democrats and 28% are unaffiliated.”

But this was dismantled in one tweet from the indispensable Jim Geraghty:

Meanwhile, the rest of Twitter had a field day with the Debster’s tweet:

Here’s to “underperforming” in the mid-term elections and winning there, too!
