I saw Tom Perez on Chris Hayes.

I like the cut of his jib. I know his choice to be the chairman of the DNC wasn't unanimous but he has been really effective in his job. We need to recruit candidates who reflect their congressional districts or states, be it Doug Jones in Alabama, Conor Lamb in PA 18, or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in NY 14.

Chris asked him if he wants to abolish ICE. He essentially said he wants to abolish Trump. He went on to say it's not the agencies but the people who run them. He said he didn't help to abolish the Maricopa County Sheriff Department. He said he helped to replace Joe Arpaio.


Mend ICE not end it, and part of the mending is putting strong but humane people in charge of it.

1. Exactly. Eric Holder said the same thing. Those calling to abolish ICE is not the solution, and in

fact would be a gift to republicans.

The problem is those who are the administration who is misusing it, and that is where the focus needs to be, along with reforms and safe guards to prevent those abuses from occurring again

2. Perez has been and is very effective. I see a very active campaign here in Florida to register more

democratic leaning voters, that is going to pay dividends in November and beyond. Perez knows how to fight the power and doesn't just mouth off about it.

3. Perez won me over

He certainly deserves a fair share of credit for Dems' many wins in special elections, because we'd be blaming him for losses.

Plus, Perez has worked hard to reinstate Howard Dean's 50-State Strategy and refers to Dean often in interviews.

Perez is also quite good as an on-air spokesperson, almost as good as former DNC head Terry McCullough, only with more sincerity.

4. He's doing a good job

People should have given him a chance when he came on.

5. Good on Tom Perez.. President Obama had

a lot of faith in him.. he was his Labor Sec.

6. Perez is doing a good job

7. Agreed, he had to straddle many fences at

the start, and has done a great job.

8. i used to get so mad at him when he let Rona McDaniel run all over him on talk shows

but his actions speak much louder than words.

He has been and is a wonderful, effective DNC chair.
