Trump is going to run the White House like the mob.

The information coming out today about loyalties, family grudges, the intrigue and infighting, can bring us to only one conclusion: Trump is a mobster who is going to run the White House like a 21st century Corleone Family.

Apparently, Christie is the first one waking up with a horse's head in his bed.

This is why Rep. Keith Ellison must become the chairman of the DNC. And why the democrats in Washington must be made to understand that every day they are fighting for the survival of the republic.

I did not call him a Nazi. I hear if you call someone a Nazi you automatically lose your argument.

Yeah. Like 1930's Germany.

to get a ride on the Trump Train, and at the last minute he gets booted off, rolls down an embankment and sits all bedraggled in a drainage ditch, wondering WTF just happened.

We had DWS as DNC chair for 8 years, a sitting member of Congress, and look at where we are now--in the wilderness. Keith Ellison is a sitting member of Congress vying for a job that requires double time work and I don't think he can do both jobs well without exhausting himself to an early grave.

We need someone who's free to put in the hours required to build the party who does have the progressive cred, and that person is Nina Turner. She's my pick for DNC chair.

Her refusal to back Hillary after the primaries was very polarizing. She has no friends or connections in Washington.

Has the chairman of the DNC always been someone without another job?

I didn't realize Nina Turner had no Washington connections.

But we have to find someone who can implement a 50-state strategy without the baggage of being an industry lobbyist nor be a part-time chair. I can't come up with names off the top of my head.
