Dupe ... LOL

While it does fit I am sure Peter meant duplicate. But I do like the way you took it.

Even Chuck Todd is laughing about the DNC.





If former Labor Secretary Tom Perez is the "establishment," then the Democratic Party has shifted far leftward, NBC's Chuck Todd said on Sunday. Perez barely edged Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) in the DNC chair race on Saturday, to the chagrin of party progressives.

✔ @TODAYshow "If Tom Perez is considered establishment today, that tells you how much the party has moved to the left." -@chucktodd on DNC chair election.



Headlines everywhere indicated that Perez's win was a loss for liberals. "Tom Perez elected to lead Democratic National Committee in a blow to liberal wing," The Washington Post wrote. "Democrats Elect Thomas Perez, Establishment Favorite, As Party Chairman" declared The New York Times, both noting that he was the preferred choice of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama loyalists.



While not as far to the left as Ellison, Perez is not exactly the definition of a moderate, either. He is actually more liberal than the average Democrats, according to FiveThirtyEight's analysis.


At least one person was pleased with the results: President Trump.


Donald J. Trump

Congratulations to Thomas Perez, who has just been named Chairman of the DNC. I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!
