President Trump early Sunday tweeted that the race for Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman was “rigged.”
“Bernie's guy, like Bernie himself, never had a chance. Clinton demanded Perez!” Trump added.
Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez on Saturday defeated Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) to become the next DNC chairman in a win for centrist Democrats.
The race, which split along establishment-grassroots lines, in many ways mirrored the divisive 2016 presidential primary between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Hillary Clinton.
Sanders and many of his allies backed Ellison, the first-ever Muslim elected to Congress and a star on the left.
“Congratulations to Thomas Perez, who has just been named Chairman of the DNC. I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!” Trump tweeted on Saturday, sparking a response from the new DNC chairman.

Better yet, just let them continue to fight amongst themselves. We can enjoy the fireworks from the sidelines.
This DOES have to do with his office. This is the leader of the opposition for the next 4 years - those who will oppose everything Trump does.
Buckle your seatbelt and accept the reality that there will be turbulence.
I’m with you. Lot of energy wasted with constant either antagonistic and/or petty tweets.
Can someone whisper to Trump to tweet and repeat the Uranium sale /Russian Connection to Hillary; How about Podesta connection to Russia.
Different war. Different strategy and tactics. Don't refight previous battles FRamigo.
Why would I take your post seriously? Honestly, I guess I could click on your membername and see if you are for real, but why, in reading your post, would I even begin to assume that you are for "our" side and not someone sent by DU to show themselves to be an over the top supporter whose real purpose is to oppose by posing as some kind of stereotyped Trump supporter?
I think the DNC race was hacked by Russia...care to call for a special prosecutor... Congressman Issa?

Some will see it as setting the Sunday Morning talk show agendas, etc. For me, I'm beginning to see it as a strategy that is outlasting its usefulness. Without introspection and adjustments, this kind of thing becomes a detriment.
So instead of marveling at the Democrats choice on the talkshows today, they will have to address Trumps tweet as well.
They can’t help themselves.
A simple tweet defining the conversation of the day.
I call that winning
“Trump can’t prove he’s right, either. So nothing will come of this. “
Doesn’t have to. Just needs to show that the far left have been abandoned by the democrat party.
More of the same, nothing but antagonistic bluster. I highly doubt, without research, that you are really for our side.
That’s okay, because I believe the same of you.
Trump is poking their wound with a stick to promote inter-party fighting. It is a great tactic to distract them while his team works behind the scenes.
Perhaps you'd prefer a tame RINO to pet and admire?
Yes! Absolutely! In the arena of ideas...not senseless, sophomoric, one-up tweets like junior high school adversaries. Good grief.
We are in the Age of Kardashian. Do you want to win or do you want to be right?
At least Trump is open about what he thinks. Obama hid behind the mask and destroyed the country and pretend it was not his fault. Keep it up President Trump. Expose the DNC.
All day the news commentators will be talking about the rigged DNC chairmanship election. And...This one short tweet will permanently imprint on the minds of the Sanders people that their party is corrupt and dishonest.
I call this genius.
Well said. He is calling these people out. Hes knows how to win.
Trump became a billionaire and the leader of the free world by trusting his brilliant instincts. If he had spent his whole life listening to “you cant do this! Its unwise! Its unprofessional! Its too risky! Youre making a mistake!” he would of probably ended up a struggling used car salesman.
Not knocking used car salesmen but you get my drift.
It just cracks me up that he has risen to the top of the top. I mean he has summitted Everest and people are STILL criticizing him and saying they know better.
Because he sees himself as virtually the only person standing up to that left and what they’re trying to do to our country. Even after his win, the Republicans in congress seem overwhelmingly content to cower under their desks, deny that anything’s ever going to get done, and whimper like cowards.
Besides, I like the mindset of constantly throwing it back in the left’s ugly face. Don’t let them set the agenda. Don’t let them get away with ANYTHING, because they’ve been getting away with EVERYTHING for far, far too long.
Well stated.
3 examples of let them do what they want and stay silent both resulting in us enduring 2 terms of Barry O
1. GWB - defined as Bush Lied People Died
2. McCain - nothing to fear - he’s a decent man
3. Chicken Little - aka Mitt Romney - taken apart by a partisan reporter and
never leveraged the 47 % comment to his advantage.... i.e. You the 53 are
paying for and supporting the 47
The Donald nukes them whenever he can, party , press, individual, doesn’t matter
He won’t let them define him or us.....
His impact on Twitter is 100x what it would be through the usual means. He'd be a complete idiot to stop using it. And this latest one? Solely to get one side of the DNC revolting against the other side. It may be an untrue charge (with Hillary and Obama involved, though, I doubt it), but the news networks and blogosphere will be covering it thus placing the possible reality of the charge firmly in the Ellison supporters' minds.
You criticize Trump. I criticize the totalitarian Left. I’ll leave it to others to decide whose side you’re on.
