Where are Tom Perez and Keith Ellison?

[UncleTomsEvilBrother]

The two of them seem to work well with each other. I definitely see potential for grassroots galvanization, but why aren't they part of the news cycle?

With this Trumpcare debacle and the FBI investigations, why aren't the two of them visibly on the grounds and rallying the "troops"? The climate is perfect for voter registration and town hall meetings.

3. Thanks, but

...tweets aren't always a guaranteed part of the news cycle. I'm talking press conferences and national news appearances.

4. dnc chair is more of an administrator type position , not pundit

they will do media appearances at times but it's a lot more than that.

[Hortensis]

12. Exactly. Administration on a national level is important.

But any rallying will be in calls and meetings with state and local party officials, meetings with locally powerful people, meetings with funders and fundraisers, to gain support and attempt to coordinate their efforts to achieve big goals. We'll see them in press conferences now and then, but given the media's need for controversy real and fake to report on, preferably only rarely--when they call them.

2. trump care is all republican and dems can do nothing really so they are lying low IMO nt

[BannonsLiver]

5. They're letting Dem pols do the heavy lifting

And they've been doing it well. They know when to get out of the way. I love them already.

[Recursion]

6. Democrats are very specifically letting this train wreck happen

This is intentional

[MFM008]

7. my first thought as well

Only a few have come out.............
Do YOU want to be standing under the Hindenburg??

[Cha]

8. Tom Perez and Keith Ellison are doing the heavy lifting

9. You got that right, Cha

[NCTraveler]

10. Some are desperately trying to dismiss....

That all hands are on deck. Said group seems to be ratcheting it up and they were given the green light last night with the bullshit "feeble" comment from the Independent.

[Cha]

11. Ah yes.. I see your connection.. Yeah, well here's my comment on that..

BS insults Dems Who are out there on the Front Lines Fighting for our Very Lives..

BS on Rachel's"the Democratic Party is feeble" and "cannot fight back"..

He's Wrong and Divisive.. only helping trump, the gop, and the m$m.

Dems have our BACKs and I have theirs.

Truth.. Our Dems ARE Fighting for us and this is just today's headlines..

19. +1

They are blind to reality yet run around telling us we can't see.

18. Check out downthread.....nt

[loyalsister]

13. Keeping a low profile is smart

This investigation depends on GOP members. The last thing we should do is attack them. We don't want them on the defensive when we need them to go on the offensive.

[msanthrope]

14. You seem concerned. Please feel free to air more of your concerns and enjoy your stay. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. hmmmm:)

[msanthrope]

17. You have to be careful when you leave multiple windows open.

Drafts, you know.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. no, you need to be careful m. I am watching you.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Would like to see DNC raise some money for some ads. If there EVER was better material for

a generic Democratic ad than GOP cutting Meals on Wheels and after school lunches, I have never seen it.

20. Tom and Keith are right here with me. We're busy galvanizing about the debacle.

I will totally let them loose visibly on the grounds tomorrow, rallying. Tonight, they are mine.
