Trump: DNC Chairman's Race ‘Rigged’
thehill.com ^ | 02/26/17

Posted on 02/26/2017 5:02:24 AM PST by Helicondelta

President Trump early Sunday tweeted that the race for Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman was “rigged.”

“Bernie's guy, like Bernie himself, never had a chance. Clinton demanded Perez!” Trump added.

Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez on Saturday defeated Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) to become the next DNC chairman in a win for centrist Democrats.

The race, which split along establishment-grassroots lines, in many ways mirrored the divisive 2016 presidential primary between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Hillary Clinton.

Sanders and many of his allies backed Ellison, the first-ever Muslim elected to Congress and a star on the left.

“Congratulations to Thomas Perez, who has just been named Chairman of the DNC. I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!” Trump tweeted on Saturday, sparking a response from the new DNC chairman.

I’m tired of antagonistic tweets from the POTUS

I'm not. I want a FIGHTER.

The other side is at war. Meet them in the battlefield.

This is very clever because Trump keeps reminding people it is the DEMOCRATS who rig systems and cheat in elections.

>>Damn I love Trump.<<

Damn, I wish someone would shut down his twitter acct. Why does he feel the need to comment about everything? I could see if someone attacks him directly.

Enough is enough already, isn’t it?....No!! He’s doing things NO President ever did. Taking a flame thrower to put out a bonfire. He ain’t playing politics, as we have known it, anymore.

Because it pisses the left off and gets them outraged at trivialities while ignoring important items he’s doing. He’s used twitter the same way through out his short political career.

Best part is...the Democrats can’t prove him wrong

Trump can't prove he's right, either. So nothing will come of this.

Yes! Absolutely! In the arena of ideas...not senseless, sophomoric, one-up tweets like junior high school adversaries. Good grief.

That tweet isn’t “fighting” nor “doing anything”. It is just downright antagonistic. You haven’t had enough, fine. But at least add antagonizing do nothing tweets to your list of things you love about how Trump does “President”.

Now now now, Donald. Are you practicing divide and conquer?

Me, too, but I’m not sure he should get involved in this at this point.

If he has a plan for the bigger picture, then yes. But if not, maybe it would be better to just keep track of all the Clinton cheating and use it to finally lock her up.

JMO, but I think conservatives should stay out of Democrat politics. When your enemy is busy making mistakes, let him. Don’t interfere.

Well, yeah, but the last one of THOSE died in the 1960’s sometime.

I’m beginning to think Rush may be a little wrong when he says Mr. Trump doesn’t see politics through an ideological prism. Maybe he does, or is learning, and wants to foster the radical left marginalize themselves big league. Make the distinction so bright that even the lemmings can see it. Anyways I encourage President Trump to keep pointing out the disaster known as Democratics.

He’z acting out just like the emotional, feel good libs.

Now, don't get me wrong. There is SO much to love in Trump, but it's not about Trump. It is about YOU and I. Trump is a vehicle we chose to enact this change.

Love his nationalism, patriotism, dedication to the American worker, service members, police. Lots of gewd stuff here.

Just that damn tweeting about crap that doesn't make a hooey.

“Why does he feel the need to comment about everything?”

Because he sees himself as virtually the only person standing up to that left and what they’re trying to do to our country. Even after his win, the Republicans in congress seem overwhelmingly content to cower under their desks, deny that anything’s ever going to get done, and whimper like cowards.

Besides, I like the mindset of constantly throwing it back in the left’s ugly face. Don’t let them set the agenda. Don’t let them get away with ANYTHING, because they’ve been getting away with EVERYTHING for far, far too long.

Trump is on the mark, the big moneyed elites in the Democrat Party, the insiders, the corporatists, the globalists picked Perez.

You’re drawing conclusions based on imaginary data? Isn’t that the definition of irrational?
