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

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.

The democrat party jumped the shark and is now full-blown anti-constitutional marxist.

Yes. Mainly because they are believing their own propaganda.

Then they can finally drop the democrat moniker for straight enemy islamism.

Trump was trolling the DNC today on Twitter, praise Ellison for being the only one who predicted a Trump win!

Ellison was laughed at on TV talk show (way back in May 2015) for saying that.

Stephanopolous and others laughed at the suggestion thinking “Surely we in the fake press can destroy this guy, no problem.”

Didn’t know that.
He would still swing the dems further left and closer to the moslems further fracturing the party.

“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"

Wow, seeing the argument framed that way - lose-lose - makes the prior posts in this thread here even more relevant:

"This is amazing to watch Slow Joe interject at the last minute. Ya'll need to understand, 2020 is at stake here, nothing less.
  • If Comrade Perez wins, Slow Joe is running 2020 bank on it, and will win the nomination over Deval Patrick or Cory Booker.
  • If Imam Ellison wins, either Patrick or Booker will be the nominee over Slow Joe.
  • Any of the 3 will lose to President Trump."
