Showing Original Post only (View all)Watching Tom Perez on Chris Haye's show... [View all]
No wonder the Democrats are losing.
OMG. Sorry, alert on me, ban me...how is this the face of the party that will win against charismatic snake-oil salesmen on the right?
I've just finished doing work for the VA Northam campaign. Bilingual even. The party head Tom Perez just delivered the most uninspired drivel I've ever heard. How are we supposed to win races this way?
Sorry, I just had to vent.
