    he's not perfect (ellison) and I would have preferred someone like Warren or Sanders, but he's better than just another nancy pelosi / hillary clinton / harry reid business as usual dem

    As a midwest guy, he's probably more moderate, centrist, and therefore acceptable than either Warren or Sanders. And with a name like Keith Ellison, we all know he's obviously white and fiscally conservative, which gets him no traction in Democratic circles.
    people don't want moderate and centrist anymore. that's why hillary lost. Obama ran on change, that's why he won. He's very similar to sanders on economics and endorsed him.

    As for the controversial comments he's made, I'm not defending them. But I think trump proved that people don't give a shit about stuff like that anymore. He's better than any other candidate the dems are throwing out there
    I would not describe the so-called Progressive Left as moderate or centrist. They are the ones obsessed with bathrooms, genitalia, and the never ending alphabet soup expansion of rights and privileges from the original LGB, to LGBTQSRXXWYZABC - and on and on, so that nobody will have to go through life without a victim card to play. Most people just want to go to work, enjoy their time off with friends and family, and save some dough for retirement. They don't care at all where a gender-fluid person pisses or shits, so long as its private, and reasonably quiet, and they really, really want everyone to have a decent job and succeed in life so we can all thrive and pay less taxes. Obama caved to the outliers and fringes of his party, and the middle of country reeled it back by voting for Trump. That's my read of the election, anyway.
    we're saying the same thing. the democratic party, just like the republican party, uses social issues as a device to get their bases to fall in line so they can get away with selling out to the rich donors that elected them.

    You're just flat out wrong if you think the democratic party is economically liberal, it isn't even close to that. In europe, it would be the conservative party.

    Whether it be liberal or conservative, people want change. Trump offered that, the democrats offer business as usual.

    I would love to see Ellison as DNC chair. We don't have enough misogynist anti Semites in positions of power. Brother Farrakhan will be proud

    realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/12/07/dershowitz_if_i_were_a_republican_i_would_hope_democrats_pick_keith_ellison_for_dnc_chair.html

    DERSHOWITZ: If I were a Republican strategist and I were given the choice to pick the head of the Democratic National Committee, I'd say pick [Congressman Keith] Ellison! He would be great for the Republicans, and he's going to be great for the Republicans. A major contributor to the democratic party has said, essentially, don't count on me anymore.

    He is going to lose many, many Democrats. He's going to lose many pro-Israel Democrats, many pro-American Democrats. Forget about Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitism and the fact that this guy was part of that for years. Do you know what he said at one point to somebody when he was a student at the Minnesota Law School?

    He said to somebody who was a woman and Jewish, I can have no respect for you -- this is Ellison saying this, not Farrakhan. I can have no respect for you because you're Jewish and you're a woman, and as a woman, you shouldn't be working, you should with home. you should be home.

    The math just keeps getting worse. Good for those 800 that get to keep their job, but it's like Trump can't help but lie about everything.

    Funny because you voted for him

    has being controversial cost the republicans anything lately? He's backed away from his support of Farrakhan and his past statements and has the support of a number of prominent jewish figures and groups.

    he's one of the few dems who will actually stand up for workers, that's what the democrats need. not another howard dean wall street whore. He even recently got the endorsement of the AFL-CIO.

    Again, would a less controversial figure be preferable? yes. but he's the best of the bunch

    It's not the pre-season.

    Just because he hasn't been sworn in yet doesn't mean he isn't doing things that matter.

    My investments are skyrocketing, to be honest. But you guys continue to miss the point of the spectacle Trump is creating daily. Obama talked a lot, but did very little, and he's acknowledged that many times in many interviews, where he explains his theory that all meaningful progress is incremental.

    Trump is doing the opposite, drawing a much straighter and shorter line between his action and results. And people eat that shit up, just like they did with Reagan. Wiser folk like Mark Cuban are getting it and adjusting accordingly.

    Others are stuck in a loser mentality that still want to fight the election, deny reality, and piss into the wind. Go for it. See where it gets you.

    I am clearly none of those. I just chuckle and make fun of Troomps.

    Obama actually accomplished a lot, just your news source doesn't acknowledge it and you disagree with what he accomplished.

    Yes he did. Most people on welfare, food stamps, Obama phones, Obozo care, outspent all previous presidents combined, highest poverty rate etc. etc. etc.

    What a stud of a president. Rides girls bikes and is rumored to take in the shitter. Worst president in history. Made Jimmy Carter the happiest man in history.

    Trump? We'll see as I've said not my first or even second choice but it was him or the Hildebeast.

    Hondo likes him some Hildebeast!

    From what I am hearing Trump will fail miserably.

    Just like he would fail to actually announce.
    Just like he would fail to make it to the first primary due to stupid comments.
    Just like he would fail to beat 15 other GOP candidates.
    Just like he would fail to win enough delegates to prevent a brokered convention.
    Just like he would fail to beat HRC.

    This guy is a loser.
