I’m shocked and appalled. Such a racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, deplorable election. It was hacked by the Russians and had obvious voter fraud. Demand a recount!

I watched the DNC debate and he seemed last likely to win so this is good news. People that watched on you tube were chatting and were calling Perez “sore throat guy”. The whole group was a bunch of lovers. There was a guy that looked like Sheldon Cooper from big bang theory and his name was Pete Butt and another guy with a huge nose named Peter Packard then there was Ellison and the black chick that seemed like a nuttiness version of Donna Brazille named Jehmu and she earned the name shamu or aunt jehmumu and a bald chubby guy that looked like stymie from little rascals the white chick seemed the most normal for a democrat and surprised she didn’t become the front runner since she was young. Kinda seemed like Gabi Tulsa

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.

[Right Wing Assault]

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.

So the Socialist beat out the Communist - no real Democrats left?

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?

A Hispanic male and a Black-Muslim male as backup.

Well I guess they have lost the Bernie wing.....all they got now is burnt out sixties hippies

[grumpygresh]

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

[sergeantdave]

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.

[fella]

The demonrats rigged another election. Or was it the Russians again?

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Those dammed Russians! They did it again! /s

[trebb]

Was rooting for Ellison but they chose an Obama tool - ironic since the Ellison folks are really fired up and most are/pretty tepid over Obama - he had no coattails at the end.

Could still be an interesting turn of events.
