Ellison holds edge in DNC race
The Hill ^ | February 22, 2017 | Ben Kamisar and Owen Eagan

Posted on 02/22/2017 5:39:35 AM PST by yoe

As Democrats head to Atlanta this weekend to vote on their party’s next chair, the race to lead the Democratic National Committee chair is coming down to its two leading candidates.

Rep. Keith Ellison (Minn.) has the edge over former Labor secretary Tom Perez in The Hill’s new survey of DNC members. But while both men claim they are close to securing commitments from the majority of the 447 voting members, neither candidate is assured victory.

They can’t put Elizabeth Warren on the list. Remember, Donald Trump is sending all the Indians back to India...she will be deported.

The Clintoons are not that stupid (and there is a split in the Democrap party) ..... interesting read by Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse:

Have You Noticed Media Pushing a National Narrative of Anti-Semitism Today? – Here’s Why…
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3527702/posts

Direct link: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/02/21/have-you-noticed-media-pushing-a-national-narrative-of-anti-semitism-today-heres-why/

“Team Clinton, meaning the professionally political elements of the Democrat machinery, are pushing the anti-Semitism storylines because the party is in the final stages of framing their argument to ensure their preferred DNC head, Tom Perez, wins as party chair.

Tom Perez endorsements: former Vice President Joe Biden, former Attorney General Eric Holder, former Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Keith Ellison endorsements: Sen. Bernie Sanders; Sen. Elizabeth Warren; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer; Rep. John Lewis; New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley

Pushing odd, vague, disingenuous and sparsely connected stories about anti-Semitic news, is the way Team Clinton undermine Perez’s opponent, Keith Ellison.

Representative Ellison, a Muslim, carries a strong anti-Semitic liability from his past associations and past engagements speaking negatively about Jewish people.”

Yep, this is great news, and Warren would be an excellent candidate, IMHO.

Did Anyone read Sundance's analysis over at CTH? Both Perez and Ellison are horrid. Ellison is the Bernie Wing, Perez the Clinton Wing of the Party. The whole Antisemitism rant yesterday was not about PDJT but about Ellison, Clintonian Alinski-ism to a tee....

Isn’t is so cute that the Democrats have only their own DNC chairmanship office to laud and hype now? They sure as heck aren’t winning anything else. I love it. Winning is cool.

Are they really this stupid?

YES THEY ARE! And it's a REALLY GOOD THING!!

Added benefit that shooting down Perez will tend to p*ss off Hispanics. Black vs. Hispanic is the fault line along which the Democrat Party will shred itself.

Rep. Keith Ellison, another liberal fascist from the Muslim Brotherhood.?

I hope he wins.

It will assure that President Trump has a 2nd term.

EXPECT MASS AFRICAN MIGRATION IF ELLISON GETS IN.

There's 350,000 Somalis camped out on the Kenyan border.

Then-Sen Obama supported this Somali--Mohamed Abdi---in his bid for election to the Kenya Parliament. Mohamed Abdi was NOT elected.

A dual national, Mohamed Abdi was active in the Ellison Congressional campaign in the US.

We should not celebrate this. Even though Ellison will weaken the democrats in the short term, democrats will eventually take back power (probably in 2024 or 2028 at the latest). We had better pray that they are not controlled by Ellison fans when that happens, or the outcome will be uglier than anything in world history. And, yes, I know what a high benchmark that is.

If they hit the Donald with anti-Semitism, he will just throw it right back at them for as long as their Muslim Brotherhood leader is in there!

Keith Ellison (D-Islam) is a perfect representative for the Party of Domestic Enemies.
However, the fact that he is even being considered is evidence of a major problem. The political ‘pendulum’ has lost its governors and is swinging wildly.
While I like where the pendulum is now, and where it seems to be heading, I am truly scared about where it will go when it swings back - as it inevitably must.
And when it finally breaks, all hell will break lose.

Obama and Jarrett want Perez. He served in the Obama admin and has been friends with Obama for a number of years. If the Obamas truly are running the Dem party, then Perez will likely be the winner, even if he isn't.

YES! Wait until Ellison is elected, and he issues his own sharia law for the RATs. The lib women will love having to wear hagibs or burkhas in his presence.
