If and only if he repudiates campaign finance will I believe a word he says.Your Democratic "leadership"
This is what stands in the way of a 2020 Trump reelection... Let that sink in for a minute...
Jake Tapper: "I want to ask you, president Trump at CPAC on Friday said the Republican party, from now on, will be the party of the American worker and in November, president Trump carried white voters without a college degree, working class voters, by a staggering 37 percentage points. What is your plan to win these voters back into the Democratic fold?"
Tom Perez: "We lead with our values and we lead with our actions. We talk to them about how literally hours into the Trump administration, he was a fraud. He made it harder for first-time homeowners to buy a home. He made it harder to save for retirement. He nominated a judge for the Supreme Court who wants to eviscerate collective bargaining. If you want good jobs, elect a Democrat. That's the message that we have to communicate, it's a message that is true, it resonates in every zip code and that's what you're going to be doing all over the nation. The fact is that the Democrats grow the middle-class, Democrats protect economic security and we need to do a better job of communicating that message everywhere."
Tapper: "I know you're probably reluctant to criticize Hillary Clinton, but are you of the opinion that her campaign did not talk about those economic values sufficiently, instead focusing on the perceived character flaws of the current president?"
Perez: "Well certainly we have to do a better job as a Democratic party of messaging what we stand for, we have to make sure that we're out there every week talking about how we're the party of middle-class security, we're the party of inclusion, we believe diversity is our greatest strength. Because when we lead with these values, I believe that's when we succeed. Because those are the values of the American people. That's why you see millions of people out there marching in the aftermath of January 20th, saying "Donald Trump, you don't stand for our values". That's why you see for instance, yesterday, in Delaware, there was a big election for a state senate seat and it was the seat that held the state senate in balance, and it was a great example of that activism we've seen, Jake, coming into fruition. Our Revolution, the DNC, grassroots activists came in to help elect Stephanie Hanson by a whopping 16%. This is the definition of the DNC and the Democratic party. Coming together to make sure we help elect candidates from the state house to the senate to the school board, and I am so excited about what happened there yesterday in Delaware. We've got opportunities right here in Atlanta where I sit today, Congressional 6th which is Cobb county, uhh, we're gonna take the fight there and people ask me all the time, Jake, "How do you translate the energy out there, Tom, into action and results?" we did exactly that in Delaware yesterday and we're gonna work like heck to do that here in Georgia and elsewhere. It's very exciting to see the energy!"
