The question is should we squeeze this in.  We need some guidance.  This is so much more than a profile and some of this we need time to craft a response. Why does number 1 need to be confirmed?  She’s said it on the record a million times.

Who:               DWS and Taylor Wofford
Topic:              Profile of DWS
Questions:       1) Can she confirm the story about her husband giving her a milkshake every morning when she was running for the Florida house?
2) Once the 2016 election is over, what's next for DWS? Would she like to stay on as DNC chair, or is 5 years enough?
3) How does she respond to her primary challenger's accusation that her support of H.R. 4018 is tantamount to supporting predatory payday lenders?
4) What's an average day like in the life of DWS? What time does she wake up? When does she go to bed?
5) Her primary challenger lays the blame for the Democrats' recent losses in the senate, house and state legislatures at DWS's feet. How does she respond to that? And how responsible, ultimately, is the DNC chair for democratic losses?
