Wasserman's retreat from the attack meant that Democrats everywhere would be more aware than ever that she was working not for the Democratic Party, or even for Democratic Party ideals, but for Hillary Clinton. It showed that she would lie, smear, and recklessly attack opponents (even good Democratic opponents) to get Clinton the nomination.
The situation looked like what it was from the beginning, a setup. Obviously Wasserman was trying to fix the election. Equally obvious is that she was doing it with the blessing of Hillary.
She could no longer deny it.
Unfortunately Wasserman's ploy has fractured the Democratic Party.
If Clinton gets the nomination (which is by no means as certain as her team wants everyone to believe), she will have a great deal of trouble getting elected without Progressive support.
Her only hope, if she gets the nomination, would be that the RNC, which is bought and paid for by the far radical right, nominates a candidate so extremely dangerous, crazy, and incompetent that voting for her becomes their only choice.
However, her nomination is no longer inevitability: "I don't know how else to say it, except by saying it," Hillary emailed a few days after the smear scandal, "We could lose the nomination."
So there is hope.
