Tom Perez On Iowa Caucus Problems: 'This Was A Major League Failure' | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
“Major League Failure” = “We tried to screw Bernie again but too many peasants were paying attention!”
@Roman Max ITS RUSSIA – Pete colluded with Putin – RUSSIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Toby Smith ITS ALL RUSSIA – THEY ARE ALL AROUND US. UNDER OUR PILLOWS HIDING IN THE BASEMENTS OF AMERICA – RUSSSSSSIA
@Roman Max Actually, the scam with Bernie is campaign finance. “Election AD MANAGERS” can legally charge 15% of their costs for campaign ads.
Who is Bernie’s Campaign Ad Manager? His wife. What’s 15% into 80 million? She has as much experience as Hunter had with energy
@Roman Max Trump has literally done nothing BUT add to the swamp, buddy.
Hahaha 100% 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Iowa caucus corruption. The numbers don’t match.
@Oliver TV Which really scares me 🙁 I hope they don’t steal this from us.
The DNC has turned the [D] party into one big incompetent cluster bomb of political malfeasance. No way America will trust us with the nuclear codes much less the economy. Thanks DNC & the media! Trump will win in an electoral college landslide now in 2020.
Like always
He should resign. If he had any integrity he would resign.
Everyone should have walked away 3 years ago. How much more obvious does it need to be?
Just send Creppy Joe to show them how to code!
@Joe Po I heard they only spent 60k on the Iowa app, that’s nuts. If the software developer is billing out at $150 a hour, that gets you one developer for ten weeks. Who’s doing testing? the same developer that wrote it? That’s a recipe for disaster.
But he doesn’t. That’s why he’s chair. Requirement to be DNC Chair… No integrity (check!)…. No moral compass (check!)…. No desire for democracy whatsoever (check!)… No hair (check! check! check!).
agreed.
we don’t care that some state chair apologized. we care that democracy is not a priority to you tom. shameful. just shameful.
Don’t worry, we can trust the DNC to count the votes correctly. Yep, no history of colluding against Bernie Sanders just 4 years ago or anything. This is so obviously them trying to toss it to Mayor Pete so that Trump wins again. Bernie is the only viable candidate but he wants to stop their gravy train.
its the demorat way, BE PROUD! LMAO
Shame! They’re making it easy for another 4 years of trump presidency. Fascism is here.
Exactly. They care only for their own secrets and salaries not for the people who need Democratic policies.
@Irishtradchannel What an incredibly ignorant statement.
I’d say Trump nearly already has Nov in the bag. Our party has become entirely incompetent.
@JP Hickory Not if Bernie wins the nomination. If Bernie doesn’t win, then yes, Trump guaranteed will win.
The whole operation was planned and coordinated by Chairman Perez and the votes were counted tabulated and redistributed as per policy, there was no mistake.
Well, he had a little outside help too. https://thegrayzone.com/2020/02/04/pro-israel-buttigieg-seth-klarman-iowas-voting-app/
Corrupt DNC rigging the election on plain sight. We are not blind!!
He stopped the count at 97% just as Bernie was about overtake Pete in SDEs. The Clintonites don’t just have a thumb on the scale, they’re frigging jumping on it in plain view.
@Aggressively Thicc Trap FDR was a terrible president.
@drz That is objectively wrong. FDR is by far the best president in US history.
@Aggressively Thicc Trap He prolonged the depression, expanded government power, and violated the tradition of voluntarily stepping down after 2 terms.
@drz He pulled the US out of the depression, expanded government powers in ways that helped the US for years to come, and the PEOPLE voted him in. He didn’t violate anything.
@Aggressively Thicc Trap He became president in 1933, it took him a long time to pull America out of the depression. Take resources from hard working people and creating a bureaucracy only helps corrupt people. People vote for corrupt leaders all the time, the point of terms is not to give the people what they want. Some of the dictators that Bernie has supported were at times popular.
Under Tom Perez, I would’t be surprised if this farce happens in every state (as long as Bernie is leading).
They would rather have Trump than Bernie.
Krystal and Saagar: Even the establishment wants Tom Perez to resign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g72rEMWjtY
Everywhere Bernie leads there will be some snafu that allows the Center to pretend he didn’t really win there. Everywhere Bernie is not leading, Perez will allow for free & fair elections.
Bet there isn’t any failure when he is cashing donor cheques
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Journalism is dead, Rachel is not even able or willing to ask one tough question about the App, Shadow Inc and its connection to Pete and Hillary! MSNBC again like so often embracing the DNC cover up to screw the working class ! Tom Perez should immediately resign!
She’s a tool of the democratic establishment. A lesbian Tucker Carlson. That’s the ONLY difference. She doesn’t believe in true progressivism, not at all.
@Liam McHale Everyone should want to know what went wrong. No problems there. And I understand the suspicion based on what happened to Bernie in ’16, but we shouldn’t automatically ascribe to malfeasance what is more than likely incompetence, without hard evidence. I know tensions are high. There’s so much at stake here – the very republic – but let’s not destroy ourselves from within. The other side (GOP + Putin) will be looking to exploit any division to divide the Dems.
@Din Take a look in the mirror before you cast further aspersions.
simon says Since Russia, Russia, Russia, she hasn’t had any credibility either.
@kray97 I have no problem looking in the mirror and I have no problem pointing out that you are dumb.
He couldn’t even get his percentages right at the start of the show ffs.go away man!
Who’s telling him he has a chance to save his reputation? His mom?
thats the Demorat party, keep breast feeding off mom
Bernie was still going to win after their attempts to make Buttigieg win by moving so many delegates from Sanders to others is the real reason why DNC wanted to recount.
The only truly Bipartisan value these days is corruption.
Sylvie Walker nah, dems have that one in the bag.
That’s what she means. They’re both corrupt.
Agreed. Both establishment DNC and establishment RNC are both corrupt and actively using their power to STAY in power.
Sylvie Walker I’m enjoying the dem infighting right now. Oddly enough I’m literally eating popcorn and drinking a vodka cran double waiting for my lunch. A federal appeals court on Friday unanimously ruled that more than 200 Democratic congressional lawmakers do not have standing to sue President Trump over allegations he violated the Emoluments Clause over foreign payments to his businesses.
What an f’ing great week!
If Bernie is not the dem nominee, there is gonna be a problem. Period.
What are you going to do,put on your vagina hats and go marching again?
reh is there a four year echo in here? Yeah, because you guys really gave Hillbillary the business when she bought Bernie out of the nom last time. Lol! Dems have become unelectable for POTUS.
Perez’s DNC did its damnedest to steal the Iowa election. He’s disgusting.
#PerezMustGo
So he says they are now reporting a 100%, but he won’t tell us who won, what POS
Because it was a clear sanders victory and the DNC can’t have that
Why do you think Rachel didn’t ask Tom about Bloomberg and his paying his way and his conflicts of interests?
I wonder 🤔
Superdelegates should not exist Tom.
They’d be more appropriate in the GOP, who doesn’t have them. GOPs think we should be a “republic” which means most of our leaders are appointed not voted for. Super-delegates are the lobbyists who paid enough money to get to do the appointing.
