During a Monday meeting in Minnesota, Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin told his colleagues it’s time to stop following the rules to a T while Republicans play fast and loose with democracy.

Talking about the gerrymandering battle that’s currently building up between red and blue states, a report from The Hill quoted him as saying, “I’m sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight.” “We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore. We’ve got to stand up and fight.”

Rallying the party to take action, Martin said, “I call on all of us to fight for a country that’s being attacked from the inside, a country being attacked by an insidious force … And are you ready to fight?”

“I know Texas is always ready for that, right? Right, Texas?” he said, prompting cheers. “Is California ready for that fight?”

It's bring "a gun to s knife fight." I'm still convinced he is not up for the job.

4. I think that the DNC needs a new Chairman

Every time I hear or see him interviewed I shake my head and feel it’s essential to the future of our party and the fight that lies ahead and to fundraising. I just hope that it happens sooner rather than too late.
