I had dinner with Tom Perez and Party leadership tonight...

[brooklynite]

...I can say that 1) they recognize the need to invest in State Parties, and 2) they recognize that a clear message that resonates with votes in each State is essential.

1. Whoopdedoo!

[elleng]

2. So they recognize that each state is different,

meaning careful coordination, I hope.

Do you think they have/will have/will help states find suitable spokespeople, to get the job(s) done?

[brooklynite]

5. The challenge will be scaling up the successes of Virginia nationwide in a year.

[Egnever]

3. Well they sure fucked all that up today

[Kimchijeon]

6. Heh, yup they royally fuckered that all up...nice goin! 👍🏽

[Kirk Lover]

4. Glad to see the recognize the obvious.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. Was this a private dinner?

Wudja have?

[dhill926]

8. anything about Franken?

[brooklynite]

10. Nobody asked; I think they recognized the obvious.

[msongs]

9. were they popping the champagne corks in honor of al franken's demise? nt

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[brooklynite]

13. Are you under some strange impression that anyone WANTED Franken to step down?

[leftstreet]

15. Of course they want him to

They can't risk losing midterm seats with long drawn out ethics hearings

That doesn't mean it's personal. They probably like him just fine

[brooklynite]

16. I don't think that's what the person who asked the question was insinuating...

[LenaBaby61]

12. Well...

I think "A BETTER DEAL" will get Dems out to vote. I mean what a STIRRING message. WHOO HOO

Wait, that's if Dems CAN vote in 2018, assuming the right-winged Supreme Court doesn't say that gerrymandering can continue in Wisconsin. If Dems are not gerrymandered or voter-suppressed off voter rolls across this country. That's if they can find unhackable voting machines that are serviced and working.

I wonder if Dems know that the ruskies will once again have input into our elections? Sanctions haven't even been enforced by pussy-grabber-in-chief, and won't be. He's beholden to HIS master after all.

Yeah, I'm going Indy in January 2018.

[brooklynite]

14. I don't think anyone (including Perez) believes that a slogan constitutes a message.
