67. I prefer a DNC Chair that can devote full time

Sat Feb 4, 2017, 01:38 PM

Feb 2017

To the job. We been the National DNC working with State and local committees on a full time basis. We need the Dean 50 State strategy plus a local committe strategy. The National DNC Chair must be able to meet and work with small town Committes all over the country, in THEIR towns. I don't think that Ellison can serve in Congress and DNC Chair, we tried that with Wasserman Schultz, to disastrous effect.

I agree that the DNC needs an overhaul. If you watch the forums, all of the DNC chair PatsFan87 Feb 2017 #11

I will pretty much be fine with whomever we choose bravenak Feb 2017 #14

Perhaps some are in denial of just how big that tent is when PatsFan87 Feb 2017 #19

And we won the white hous twice under obama and took back the house and senate in 08 bravenak Feb 2017 #21

We haven't had the House since 2010 (and haven't made any substantial gains since losing it), PatsFan87 Feb 2017 #24

That's because we had the whitehouse bravenak Feb 2017 #26

Republicans now have more control than they have had since Herbert Hoover. To dismiss that as part PatsFan87 Feb 2017 #41

So what are you doing to beat the republicans? bravenak Feb 2017 #44

You're the one who created this thread. I was merely responding. PatsFan87 Feb 2017 #49

DU rec...nt SidDithers Feb 2017 #12

He thinks his shield of 'independence' gives him leave to tell everyone else what to do. randome Feb 2017 #15

Yep. That's how I feel. bravenak Feb 2017 #16

Or maybe he's speaking up because he's on the Democratic Leadership team. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #38

He should not be trying to inject himself into DNC decisions, though. randome Feb 2017 #55

Sure, he could have provided more details, but Biden was equally as vague based on news reports aikoaiko Feb 2017 #66

Fair enough. But the word of an esteemed Democrat beats that of an outsider always. randome Feb 2017 #85

Yes. Thank you for saying that. I have a similar thought, but from a different approach ... NurseJackie Feb 2017 #47

There better not be an alert on that. randome Feb 2017 #54

Sanders seems like a Public Scold-mainly scolding Democrats nt delisen Feb 2017 #53

I question not only his methods, but his motives as well. It's unclear to me ... NurseJackie Feb 2017 #63

Sanders maybe is having his "Last Hurrah." I like his energy; find his world view out-of date.nt delisen Feb 2017 #68

That's an interesting way to describe it ... you may be correct. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #79

Pete Buttigieg is the best candidate for unity, expansion of Democrats in office, and... joshcryer Feb 2017 #22

Where is he from? I wish I knew more, I'll look him up bravenak Feb 2017 #23

problem with Sanders is he can't point to specifics. how is Ellison different and better JI7 Feb 2017 #29

It's crazy. I see people saying we have been losing for decades and new a whole new party bravenak Feb 2017 #33

the loss is mostly over race. people don't like to face that reality JI7 Feb 2017 #39

Yep. Like Mark Begich, who was a good democrat bravenak Feb 2017 #40

I like Ellison a great deal. I don't really know Perez very well. MineralMan Feb 2017 #32

Luckily, Ellison says he'll give up his seat if he's elected chair. PatsFan87 Feb 2017 #84

I am supporting Tom Perez and so I love the way that Sanders is hurting Ellison Gothmog Feb 2017 #72

He might need to step back if he really wants to help bravenak Feb 2017 #74

I doubt that this will happen Gothmog Feb 2017 #76

Me too, I'm not sure he is even one bit concerned about that bravenak Feb 2017 #77
