U.S. Democrats elected former Labor Secretary Tom Perez as chairman on Saturday, choosing a veteran of the Obama administration to lead the daunting task of rebuilding the party and heading the opposition to Republican President Donald Trump. Members of the Democratic National Committee, the administrative and fundraising arm of the party, picked Perez on the second round of voting after one of the most crowded and competitive party leadership elections in decades.

I believe they chose this guy because they think it will bring the Hispanics closer to the Democrat Party and eventually winning the White House back. I don’t think so but am trying to think the way these idiots do.

I think they realized that we wanted them to vote for Ellison so he would help destroy the party. Darn, we should have kept quiet.

Perez, rumored a possible VP pick, appeared on TV. He can parrot stock phrases and common lines of thinking. He cannot handle changes in paradigm, surprises or Black Swans.

If smart he will work behind the curtain and put others on TV. His job is to find candidates for 2018 who can win; to set the message/theme; and to raise money.

Obama, Paul, Sanders, Cruz, Carson, Trump all raised money from small donors online. Can that be duplicated in Senate and House races (for either R or D ) ?

Will Perez try to tell the state parties which candidates to run? Will Perez prefer a good personality with no issues? Or far left issues? Or centrist issues? Or self-financing billionaires? Or ???

How many states will face Dem primaries with an anti-party insider candidate. In how many states is the anti-party faction a match for the pro-party faction?

Trump tweet 1 hr ago

Congratulations to Thomas Perez, who has just been named Chairman of the DNC. I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!

With Perez winning, I don’t see a 2020 primary rigged in favor of Hillary. It may be rigged, but not in her favor. She is done and will never be POTUS.

Take a look at the picture one more time. It’s meant to be “tongue in cheek” humor.

Perez will bow out and leave the muslim as un-elected leader....wait for it.

Maybe he'll have a "heart attack," like that Russian diplomat.

Too bad. Was really hoping for Sharia law to be installed at the DNC from the top.

Well, the rats picked a closet Nazi instead of an in-your-face commie/moslim. Perez is about to get his Nazi nuts stomped into the concrete by the rat commies. There will be no honeymoon or embrace by the CBC (Congressional Black Caucus).

The fat lady is warming up to bury this dead fish.
