Thomas Perez Sec. of Labor on MSNBC for Hillary

Interviewed by Chuck Todd

He is doing a pretty good job talking about how Hillary has always been for shaking things up, in response to Chuck Todd's question about whether Trump could take advantage of the young voters that want change. Pointed out that as a young lawyer she went out and fought the establishment for young people of color, then fought for universal healthcare...

Prior to that he quickly dismissed concerns about Sanders demands for changes to platform saying there will be party unity that both candidates have broad agreement on the issues.

4. Bernie's supporters don't seem to understand the harm done by Bush for eight years.

And the extent of the nation's economic and moral comeback brought about by Obama.

Things aren't perfect now, but the Bush eight years were very, very bad.

She has a good agenda and it is worth the effort to get it passed.

weeks ago. I was not familiar with Sec. Perez and it was obvious from the light applause when he was introduced, that the audience didn't know him. He was great and had Bill and the audience cracking up. Needless to say, the applause and cheers after the interview were deafening. He is a genuine, down-to-earth guy with a wicked and wonderful sense of humor. So glad he is a Hillary supporter!

Been a big fan of Julian Castro, but Secretary Perez sounds pretty great for VP, too.
