Thanks!!! Tiggeroshii Feb 2017 #3

GRACIAS!! bravenak Feb 2017 #4

I think the DNC chair needs to be from a state that is Blue. Equinox Moon Feb 2017 #5

I'm not finding Ellison to be an eloquent speaker... brooklynite Feb 2017 #6

Me too. I like him bravenak Feb 2017 #7

All In For Pete Me. Feb 2017 #11

I'm all in for Pete! leftofcool Feb 2017 #118

I posted a poll just now. I vote for Buttigeig. bravenak Feb 2017 #127

I'm also impressed by Pete's eloquence. elleng Feb 2017 #8

The real job of the chair is not to go on the Sunday shows DefenseLawyer Feb 2017 #21

I like Jehmu green's idea of ending caucuses bravenak Feb 2017 #9

I do too. She would be my first choice, although I don't think she will win. (eom) StevieM Feb 2017 #151

Harrison is good too. We have good candidates, I'm fine with whoever wins, except Ronan bravenak Feb 2017 #152

Totally agreed. I am disgusted with him. (eom) StevieM Feb 2017 #154

Sam Ronan!!! Love him! bravenak Feb 2017 #10

Nevermind. He sucks now bravenak Feb 2017 #31

I'm not a fan- isn't he the one who claimed to coin the phrase ... bettyellen Feb 2017 #32

I just changed my mind too bravenak Feb 2017 #49

My big problem with Ellison is this would be a second job to him... bettyellen Feb 2017 #57

I like Butgeig? too, but his name is too hard to say bravenak Feb 2017 #58

Is Ellison big on restricting donors immediately? I'm not sure we can afford to take the high road. bettyellen Feb 2017 #60

See, That's my problem with him bravenak Feb 2017 #62

BOOT-edge-edge JaneQPublic Feb 2017 #67

Oh thank you! bravenak Feb 2017 #69

HA! Thanks!! bettyellen Feb 2017 #70

No, it wouldn't; he's agreed to leave Congress if he gets the DNC gig. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2017 #88

Oh wow- didn't know that! I think Jehmu is my fave but get that she isn't getting it... bettyellen Feb 2017 #96

The question about Trump's voter fraud claim was ridiculous BannonsLiver Feb 2017 #12

Was just responded to by Perez. elleng Feb 2017 #14

The framing of the question asked of the guy who basically rolled his eyes was completely inaccurate BannonsLiver Feb 2017 #15

Not liking the questions from CNN. JaneQPublic Feb 2017 #13

Poor Perez, he needs a hundred lozenges! bettyellen Feb 2017 #16

Yes. Too bad. elleng Feb 2017 #17

Why do you say that, bettyellen.. for those who aren't watching? Cha Feb 2017 #18

Extremely hoarse voice- straining on his end and mine (understanding him) bettyellen Feb 2017 #20

Awww.. I want him. Thanks! Cha Feb 2017 #23

Who's that female host? Looks constritpated! bettyellen Feb 2017 #19

Dana Bash .. coco22 Feb 2017 #22

They got a trump fan to moderate? That is grossly unfair. Cha Feb 2017 #26

She thinks we don't know... coco22 Feb 2017 #34

Oh we know the name dana bash for years of bashing President Obama Cha Feb 2017 #43

She is saying some smart ass shit now.. coco22 Feb 2017 #50

Yeah she was familiar face to me but couldn't place the name - what a negative nelly! bettyellen Feb 2017 #46

I never notice it as much.. coco22 Feb 2017 #55

Her condescension is annoying. JudyM Feb 2017 #157

I've lived in Cleveland 45 years and not once have I heard from the Democratic party... mikelewis Feb 2017 #24

Harry Reid: The DNC was "worthless" under Debbie Wasserman Schultz Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #25

Exactly! elleng Feb 2017 #27

Correct.. coco22 Feb 2017 #36

Worse than worthless. TDale313 Feb 2017 #41

+1 uponit7771 Feb 2017 #47

I like Buttigieg theglammistress Feb 2017 #28

Yes on both! elleng Feb 2017 #29

Like him, Ellison and Perez but think it's a FT job ... bettyellen Feb 2017 #54

Good people and I would be happy if any won. hrmjustin Feb 2017 #30

Good to hear it from you, justin, elleng Feb 2017 #33

☺ hrmjustin Feb 2017 #39

Yes, they all seem like they would be highly competent and not damaging to our brand Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #56

I'm going for Keith now bravenak Feb 2017 #35

They all agree we need new leadership that isn't wildly out of touch, and damaging to our brand Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #37

Jamie Harrison Eko Feb 2017 #38

Not liking Tom Perez metroins Feb 2017 #40

Jehmu Greene theglammistress Feb 2017 #42

Yes she is. elleng Feb 2017 #44

Thanks metroins Feb 2017 #48

I agree- hope she gets to play a larger role! bettyellen Feb 2017 #52

The African-American Woman.... LovingA2andMI Feb 2017 #76

Thanks metroins Feb 2017 #79

CNN is trying to make this debate about democratic party dysfunction MattP Feb 2017 #45

It fucking figures.. and they have to be smart enough not to fall for the Cha Feb 2017 #53

Yep! Asking about the TPP now?!? WTF? bettyellen Feb 2017 #65

I'm waiting for someone to ask a question about marijuana legalization Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #72

It doesn't seem to have people angry enough? You all need a huge protest!! bettyellen Feb 2017 #85

People aren't angry because it's winning. It did better than either party, at the polls. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #93

I get you, and wonder if they feel they already have those voters? But I think they should bettyellen Feb 2017 #116

I agree. Most Americans are pro-choice. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #121

I never had illusions that they were swayable...but now their hostility is palpable and bettyellen Feb 2017 #136

I'd love to see Gavin Newsome in the WH! southerncrone Feb 2017 #161

Tom Perez: DNC needs new, competent leadership to "up our game" Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #51

I'm for Ellison, but Perez and Greene have been good mvd Feb 2017 #59

I think perez has had a bad night metroins Feb 2017 #66

He's avoided a couple questions, but overall Perez has sounded like a good speaker to me mvd Feb 2017 #73

What do you think they should do better? metroins Feb 2017 #77

Do you mean the moderators or the candidates? mvd Feb 2017 #78

Moderators metroins Feb 2017 #83

They seemed too confrontational to me like.. mvd Feb 2017 #91

I can see that metroins Feb 2017 #108

No problem mvd Feb 2017 #134

Yep. I see that too bravenak Feb 2017 #114

I wish they could just appoint Howard Dean MrPurple Feb 2017 #61

Pete Buttigieg Eko Feb 2017 #63

Yes, has answers because has experience. elleng Feb 2017 #64

No Worries if Pete does not win on February 28th... LovingA2andMI Feb 2017 #84

Similar thought here! elleng Feb 2017 #90

Pete and Jamie for 2020!!! Eko Feb 2017 #117

why is Perez changing the subject from the TPP? Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #68

He keeps doing that. Double talk with a hoarse voice bravenak Feb 2017 #71

it's not a good look. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #74

He's officiall off my list bravenak Feb 2017 #82

I, too, have been so far impressed with the unfortunately named "buttegeig" Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #87

Good. Dean supports him and he wants a fifty state strategy. I want that too bravenak Feb 2017 #106

Then take Ellison off too. He did the same damn thing about guns just now. KittyWampus Feb 2017 #92

I walked out of the room, I missed it bravenak Feb 2017 #98

the hoarse voice is his natural voice. i know it shouldn't be important JI7 Feb 2017 #94

It messes with the impact of his words, lessens it bravenak Feb 2017 #102

Well it's dead plus a dumb time to talk about new trade agreements? bettyellen Feb 2017 #75

People argue that trade agreements have hurt us with rust belt, etc. voters Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #80

Good point- but they seem like hot potatos- safer to wait till Trump blows the issue up sky high... bettyellen Feb 2017 #89

I guess, but the DNC chair needs to be able to answer uncomfortable questions. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #99

If it was about trade agreements in general, sure ... but the TPP is dead and so felt pointless ... bettyellen Feb 2017 #105

Yeah he kind of avoided it. I wish he would have clarified more mvd Feb 2017 #97

and transparency, ffs Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #109

Keith Ellison just showed why he'll be a problem... brooklynite Feb 2017 #81

his main job isn't to be on cable news. geek tragedy Feb 2017 #101

OK Ellison lost me evading gun control UTUSN Feb 2017 #86

Perez: DNC needs a "Culture Change" Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #95

Liking Buttigieg... he's a good speaker in a quiet way. KittyWampus Feb 2017 #100

Ellison and Perez both had oppo by CNN waiting for them MattP Feb 2017 #103

Liking the air force guy metroins Feb 2017 #104

Sam Ronan KittyWampus Feb 2017 #112

Thank you metroins Feb 2017 #125

Sam is impressive.... LovingA2andMI Feb 2017 #115

Totally agree metroins Feb 2017 #124

Not me.. he's a divider. Cha Feb 2017 #120

On what topics? metroins Feb 2017 #123

On this main one.. Cha Feb 2017 #126

Looking backwards isn't helpful metroins Feb 2017 #131

It wasn't "rigged". he's not living in reality. Cha Feb 2017 #135

I agree it wasn't rigged metroins Feb 2017 #138

He actually ragged on some woman for saying "truth to power" and claiming that bettyellen Feb 2017 #142

He's definitely unseasoned metroins Feb 2017 #146

He seems to be spoiling for a fight- congressman is a good role for him... bettyellen Feb 2017 #153

I agree metroins Feb 2017 #158

omg.. Truth to Power! "stealing his ideas".. Wow, glad he exposed Cha Feb 2017 #159

It was embarrassing. He also had no idea about the rules and process and flailed around ragging on bettyellen Feb 2017 #162

Even Hillary supporters would have to say she was favored mvd Feb 2017 #139

I was and am a Hillary supporter metroins Feb 2017 #141

I do agree that Hillary probably wins anyway mvd Feb 2017 #144

We are in agreement metroins Feb 2017 #156

Cool, I have enjoyed our conversation mvd Feb 2017 #167

i only saw a few minutes but i guess i like that younger guy that Dean endorsed JI7 Feb 2017 #107

Good. So do I. elleng Feb 2017 #110

His last answers were great metroins Feb 2017 #128

I beg to differ: NOT ALL OUR STATE PARTIES ARE BROKEN Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #113

Don't believe Jamie said All State Parties Are Broken....However... LovingA2andMI Feb 2017 #119

Sure, and one way to start is to ask what the Dems in those 6 states are doing right. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #122

And you lucky mofos also have vote by mail! bullwinkle428 Feb 2017 #149

Totally. And our turnout is great. Even in off years. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #155

Did you hear about Montana's plan to vote by mail as a cost-saving measure in bullwinkle428 Feb 2017 #163

The only one I intensely dislike is Sam Ronan. He would be a disaster IMO. StevieM Feb 2017 #129

that would be a disaster. KittyWampus Feb 2017 #130

I think the white woman is worse nt metroins Feb 2017 #133

Are you talking about the woman from Idaho? What did she say? (eom) StevieM Feb 2017 #147

Yes metroins Feb 2017 #160

Agreed. She shouldn't be our party Chair. (eom) StevieM Feb 2017 #164

He's divisive and not experienced enough... bettyellen Feb 2017 #143

Why can't they answer the questions without a ton of "filler" stories? JudyM Feb 2017 #132

filler gives them a chance to show who they are in their own voice KittyWampus Feb 2017 #137

Yes, but it consumes too much of their responses. And often not particularly illustrative. JudyM Feb 2017 #140

I'm inspired by all of these candidates. I think we are seeing the future of the Democratic Party southerncrone Feb 2017 #145

Very True. KittyWampus Feb 2017 #148

Yes. Thanks. This event is uplifting, imo. elleng Feb 2017 #150

I'm telling the DNC members I know that I'd support Buttigieg. brooklynite Feb 2017 #165

Very good to hear, brooklynite. elleng Feb 2017 #166

I liked him later on metroins Feb 2017 #168

Ellisons answer was awesome metroins Feb 2017 #169

Late sorry, I had it on record. I liked Buttigieg. herding cats Feb 2017 #170

Glad you caught him, cats. elleng Feb 2017 #171

For me, those are powerful endorsements. herding cats Feb 2017 #172

With you again, cats! elleng Feb 2017 #173

Oh, that's kind of funny. herding cats Feb 2017 #174

Yes let's hope! elleng Feb 2017 #175
