Tom Perez Signals The Future For The Democratic Party And It's Pretty Bleak

With the election of Tom Perez as the DNC chair, the democrats have shown they did not learn their lesson after the past presidential election.

This past weekend former secretary of labor Tom Perez was elected chairman of the democratic national committee with 235 votes versus Ellison's 200. With this pick, the Democratic Party has assured that they will lose not only in the 2018 midterms, but also the 2020 presidential election. The Democrats have found a replacement for Debbie Wasserman Schultz because, in a sense, Tom Perez and Debbie serve the same people. The donors who backed and supported Obama and Clinton have found a tool that will serve them and not the democratic base. After losing the 2016 election to Donald Trump some would think the higher ups in the democratic party might do some self-reflection and acknowledge their flaws so the results in 2020 presidential race would be different than that of 2016 election. Sadly I think nothing else crossed their minds other than the money they could get serving wall street interest just like the Clinton's and Debbie Wasserman Schultz herself.

Tom Perez proved his dishonesty at a CNN democratic leadership debate after being asked a question on the DNC primary. Was the election rigged in the case of Clinton vs. Sanders? Now obviously, the last DNC chair, Debbie, had to step down for this very reason, so the answer should be easy to give if you are willing to tell the truth, Tom Perez was not.

Everyone on the face of the earth knows this primary was rigged in more than one way versus Bernie Sanders. The media was trying to write hit pieces on his record, religious background, and philosophy before the states even started voting. Not to mention how the former DNC chair was hired to the Clinton campaign after having to leave the DNC chair position because of an email leak which was a blatant anti-Bernie memo for others working inside the DNC. That email was aimed on discussing ways to delegitimize Bernie's campaign. Now the very next DNC chair is trying to act like primary was not rigged? It shows dishonesty, people do not buy the act these politicians put on anymore. Tom Perez is no different. The DNC might have handed the senate races in 2018 straight over to the republicans. Quite possibly the next presidential election depending on who they choose to run. That being said last time they pushed for Hillary, quite literally pushed cheated and lied to get the nominee they wanted and she lost. You feel proud of yourselves DNC elite? The DNC literally picked the one person people hated more than Trump. If the DNC is to learn anything from this at least let it be that Clinton will never be president. Democrats will not elect a former Goldwater girl/Republican who labels herself a democrat, it will not happen. Find a third party you like because the DNC is now a landfill filled with nothing but trash.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
