DNC head Tom Perez falsely claims Electoral College 'not a creation of the Constitution'

Quote:Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez incorrectly stated "the Electoral College is not a creation of the Constitution" during a Tuesday night speech.

"The Electoral College is not a creation of the Constitution," Perez said during a lecture at Indiana University Law School. "It doesn’t have to be there."

Somebody, anybody, pleeeeeaaaaase tell me he's not this stupid.

He's wrong on everything he says. Why should this be any different.

He might not be, but his listening audience most assuredly is. Not to mention, the fake news MSM will probably start reporting this as truth and the liberal fools will believe every word.

crickets from the libturds...

How can the chair of one of the national parties not know how elections work?

We are entering a new dark age.

I did not want him in as the DNC chair. He is Hillary Clinton's stooge.

I think their job is mainly to raise money. People under them probably do the whole allocation of resources thing.

The same way HRC didn't know how to operate multiple email accounts, inbreeding.

Please continue making these kind of appointments to the DNC and any arm of the democrat party.

He doesn't have to, he just has to know how to rally the troops to get lots of dead people and illegals to the voting booths........

Only marginally less stupid than his runner-up, this Ellison clod.

So I guess he got the gig by default(?).

My gosh.

Dumb-de-dum dum

You had two Clinton stooges (yes, I call Ellison a Clinton Stooge) and then a bunch of nuts .

This is exactly where the Democratic party is today, and they can only blame themselves. There is not ONE moderate Democrat who wants to take the reins of leadership of the party.

Hell, I miss Liebermann a LOT in recent history... (and even though he was left leaning, he was at least common sense worthy)

LOL... that may be true. And he's apparently failing at that, too.

The Democratic Party’s Looming Fundraising Crisis

Quote:Over the first six months of 2017, the Republican National Committee pulled in $75 million—nearly twice as much money as the Democratic National Committee, which raised $38 million. The predicament isn’t simply that there is a funding gap between the parties; it’s what kind of money they attract. Republicans have quietly taken a decisive edge over Democrats when it comes to small-dollar fundraising.

This guy thinks the Democrats are irrelevant: https://dailygazette.com/article/2017/10...e-of-trump

"It struck me after a number of casual conversations with local Republicans over the past few weeks that they seldom mentioned the Democrats when discussing President Donald Trump’s adversaries.
They almost never brought up Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi or any other party official. 
Almost all conversations about roadblocks Trump faces or opposition to his initiatives centered on what was perceived as the media’s biased portrayal of him and his administration, rather than on anything the Democrats were doing.
Republicans and conservatives have grumbled about unfair coverage from the “mainstream media” for decades.
But the Trump era has brought us to a new plateau, one where the media has moved from adversarial to oppositional. Many observers, on both right and left, have come to see the media as the leader of the resistance.
If you care about journalism, it’s a disturbing trend...."

Cause he’s right.

We know who the “loyal opposition” is supposed to be, they just aren’t any good at it anymore.

Now, with more and more of the fake news industrial complex considering themselves “celebrities” or celebrities considering themselves news people, like Maher, that dipstick kümmel, or where most dims get their true news Colbert or stephie, they have taken front and center as simply another arm of the democrat party.

It’s not really all that “new” in the sense that they’ve been in the bag for the left for decades, but now they wear it like a badge of honor. They don’t even try to fake it any longer.

The fact that they are unwittingly casting a broad shadow over those who should be leading the charge is just icing on the cake.

Win-win.

Just so much winning.

The so called MSM came to the defense of Corker, McCain, Sessions, Comey, Flake, Heller and others. They usually were against them in the past, but these Republicans finally got the support. Even Democrats came out to defend the Republicans who were attacked by Trump unfairly. The elected officials are there to vote on for the people in their districts, not for Trump. Trump do not understand that concept. That is why both parties as a whole to work on health care reform and all that. The Republicans versions would put us back to the free market which was failing before ACA.
