This tweet perfectly sums up how much things have changed for Debbie Wasserman Schultz in a week
![Much has changed for ousted DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz since last week, when she jokingly offered to help run the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/bmxrKwWnPCPgeEZVwcz3wj-594-80.jpg)
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz probably could've benefited from the foresight one snarky Twitter user had before she fired off a tweet last week chuckling at the woes of her counterpart, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. One week after taunting Priebus with a tweet saying she was available if he needed assistance handling his own convention, the leak of thousands of internal DNC emails implicated Wasserman Schultz in potentially biased actions against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during the primary race and prompted her to announce her resignation Sunday. "Regret" is probably a good word for what she might be feeling about this tweet:
With the convention not yet underway, Wasserman Schultz has already been booed by her Florida delegation at a Monday morning breakfast and relinquished her role gaveling the convention to order.
Priebus — probably wisely — has yet to volunteer to help keep the Democratic National Convention "in order."
