(Mar 2016) Five Scandals That Could Hurt Democrats if Thomas Perez Is Their VP Pick (DNC background)
Washington Free Beacon ^ | March 14, 2016 | Bill McMorris

Posted on 02/07/2017 6:06:39 AM PST by PghBaldy

Politico reported on Monday that many influential Democrats are floating Labor Secretary Thomas Perez as a possible running mate for Hillary Clinton, despite his history of scandals.

Perez endorsed Clinton in December and has campaigned for her in recent weeks. Political insiders speculate that Perez would help Clinton shore up portions of the liberal base that she has lost to her socialist rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), in nearly half of the primaries. Perez would also bring diversity to the ticket, since both Clinton and Sanders are elderly white people.

He is one of two major candidates for DNC head (along with Keith Ellison). BOTH are far left rats of course.

This is a tough choice. A radical, black, muslim, racist lawyer vs. a radical, latino, racist lawyer.

Both seem qualified to me.

Since there’s nothing left of the old far left that’s extreme to the left anymore it kinda goes without saying to those aware that the “middle”, as claimed by Democrats and too many Republicans, is now with LBJ.

In fact, given that the term “cultural Marxism” first originated as a criticism (from Communists) of those wanting the social elements of Marxism without revolution just how does one even separate Clinton’s third way from cultural Marxism at all? This is why McGovernites and Alinskyites flowed so seamlessly into the whole mess as it was just a repackaging of their leftist ways. A pretense that they weren’t still nutters but this new thing.

It must never be forgotten that Mensheviks differed from Bolsheviks in that they were wiser, and therefore more dangerous, in wanting to wait for full socialism ... but they were STILL socialist scum none the less.

Since Casey Anthony is becoming politically active, I would think she personifies everything the Democrats stand for.

If only one or the other had pissed off millions of charity money meant to improve education for inner city kids, as Obama did with the Chicago Annenburg Challenge,they could be a shoe in for the DNC presidential ticket!

After all: the ability to piss of money and not achieve your goals is apparently resumé building material for the DNC.

[possible running mate for Hillary Clinton]

Has HILLARY discovered the Fountain of Youth since the 2016 Elections? Four years is a l-o-n-g time from now.

Democrats have marginalized themselves by appealing to angry special interest groups. Women against blacks against Hispanics - each believes they are due the nomination. Thomas Jefferson could not get the democrat nomination in 2020 - neither can the whitest democrat from the whitest state, Bernie Sanders.
