Seems to be a lot of sense in what you say.

That would explain why Perez seemed so nervous. Only Republicans are really good at lying with a straight face.

Tom Perez is not looking good [View all] Sucha NastyWoman Aug 2017 OP

I have never been impressed with Perez.... chillfactor Aug 2017 #2
I would never go by Chuck Toad's word on anything concerning the Democratic Party. He's a repug. brush Aug 2017 #132
Perez looks like a fish out of water in every interview & speech I've seen him do... InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2017 #179
Who would you prefer to see in that position? NurseJackie Aug 2017 #188
Someone like Elizabeth Warren, though of course I don't want her to leave the Senate Sucha NastyWoman Aug 2017 #191
That's really not the job of the chair to behave like a candidate or an elected official, is it? NurseJackie Aug 2017 #194
Wish I could rec an individual post NastyRiffraff Aug 2017 #195
Well said, NurseJackie. brer cat Aug 2017 #197
On top of Perez being thoughtful, calm and measured, he did a GREAT job on Smirconish this morning! George II Aug 2017 #198
You really read into my words that I hate him? Sucha NastyWoman Aug 2017 #200
Suit yourself... complain, neg, nitpick. Go ahead. You'll change nothing... NurseJackie Aug 2017 #201
I didn't get that at all... indeed, your post made a lotta sense. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2017 #202

The problem is he can't tell the truth about lack of DNC help and Todd knows why. LonePirate Aug 2017 #29
I dont know why either Sucha NastyWoman Aug 2017 #44
Perez cannot tell Todd the reason the DNC is not helping is because it is a waste of money. LonePirate Aug 2017 #53
This explains a lot Sucha NastyWoman Aug 2017 #66
Chuck Toad is a repug so why post that Toad is frustrated at Perez's answer? brush Aug 2017 #182
Exactly, they were totally cheap shots by Todd. Perez couldn't answer anything Todd asked, so he R B Garr Aug 2017 #103

So I met with him last weekend, he's a great guy. Agschmid Aug 2017 #4
confused - how does his reaction - or non reaction - result in you calling him a "great guy"? ciaobaby Aug 2017 #5
I think Agschmid is quoting or paraphrasing what Perez said about Sucha NastyWoman Aug 2017 #9
got - thanks. ciaobaby Aug 2017 #35
I never made my mind up about whether Perez or Keith Ellison should have been elected Sucha NastyWoman Aug 2017 #8
Ellison is more polished in front of the cameras because he's had that experience emulatorloo Aug 2017 #30
Ellison is the Vice Chair... Doc Coco Aug 2017 #56

Checked.. Doc Coco Aug 2017 #133
What ever the title I'm glad he's there. emulatorloo Aug 2017 #137
I've met with Ellison...he's not an eloquent off the cuff speaker either. brooklynite Aug 2017 #151
Perhaps that's because the whole point of Perez being DNC chair was to keep someone else out. YoungDemCA Aug 2017 #6
