Newly elected Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez admitted Monday that the party has its work cut out for them, as its suffering from both a crisis of relevance and a crisis of confidence.
I understand that one of the basic pillars and adages of politics and of life is often, What have you done for me lately? What do you stand for today? Perez said during a speech to the International Association of Fire Fighters.
I understand that not only did the Democratic Party not cross the finish line successfully in 2016, but when you look at the elections over the last eight years in states across this country, Democrats have lost over 900 seats.
Democrats held far more governorships and Senate seats eight years ago than they do today, he added.
I ran to be the chairman of the Democratic National Committee because I understood that the Democratic Party has both a crisis of relevance and crisis of confidence; that we have work to do; that the definition of insanity is to do the same old thing over and over again and think that this time youre going to be successful.
Perez went on to note that skeptical left-leaning folks shouldnt feel as though the party has left them, because the Democratic Partys values of yesterdayof Ted Kennedy, of Joe Bidenare todays and tomorrows values.

For the original version:
I for one would like the democrat party to move onto a crisis of existence...
"Democrats held far more governorships and Senate seats eight years ago than they do today, he added."
Future historians will say that the democratic party followed the Whig party in the tradition of becoming irrelevant and inconsequential.
Take your rotten, underhanded, criminal self and your loosers (losers) and leave the country, go to another Country like maybe Iran and live and try your rotten tricks on them and see how long you live...
You people make me sick to my stomach, and what you and your sick progranda is doing to our young people is pure evil from the devil himself...speaking of which, has Hillary been to California to her Coven lately???
Sick evil, disgusting pigs, the whole lot of you!!!
I’d love to see them all in prison. Hahaha.
Kennedy, Biden, Pelosi, 0bama. The dinosaurs who won’t move over for fresh horses are the problem. They’re addicted to power.
I still can’t figure out how they claim Russia “meddled” in the election and changed the outcome when you consider just how many voting booths there are in so many counties, etc. Do they have operatives in all of them?
And I think some states still have paper ballots (thinking of Broward County, Gore v. Bush). Did they somehow get someone in to count the ballots?
It’s just not possible. The claim is completely ridiculous.
As you point out, the map shows a decisive victory and the trend has been going Republican.
Hillary lost because she was a shrill, unlikable candidate and because as time went on (as you point out), people were getting fed up with Obama. They might find him funny and likable, but his policies were awful.
The Russians did it,is just another big lie by the libs to cover up how Clintoon, the DNC, Podesta, Obama, Pelosi and their mediots lost the election.
For the best explanation of how Trump won, buy the great book by our own LS, aka Larry Schweikart!
How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution
By Joel Pollak and Larry Schweikart
Kindle Edition and/or book version
Spot on every time they hold power the only rape the working class and feed the socialism class.
Live by identity politics, die by identity politics. Dems are not about fixing things and finding solutions. They are about
making sure they have an individual paycheck by the cynical negative practice of turning groups against one another with
practiced story lines to reduce opposition motivations to hatred.Nihilism is their bible.
That’s OK. The scumbags in the media will carry your water for a while now.
Excellent summary!
Their reality is driving away the independent voters and making us stronger to make them more irrelevant.
“Future historians will say that the democratic party followed the Whig party in the tradition of becoming irrelevant and inconsequential.”
Or like the Tories, who after the Revolutionary War were told to go Canada or back to Britain, while they were able to.
“The Russians did it,is just another big lie by the libs to cover up how Clintoon, the DNC, Podesta, Obama, Pelosi and their mediots lost the election.
For the best explanation of how Trump won, buy the great book by our own LS, aka Larry Schweikart!”

Well said HarleyLady27.
Sick of hearing how they are suffering when they are creating chaos (and bloodshed, and threats of bloodshed) each and every day.
Nothing but hypocrites.
