Newly elected DNC chair Perez vows to rebuild


Posted: Mar 1, 2017

Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez vowed Saturday to help rebuild the Democratic Party by forming "57 state parties" after he was elected the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Perez, who headed the Labor Department during the Obama administration, told members of the DNC in Atlanta after the vote that he would help the Democratic Party recover after a poor showing in the 2016 elections. He stated his goal to create 57 state parties and said that he went to the Republican National Committee's website prior to getting into the race to run for chair. "I frankly found myself, when I first got into this race, going to their website because I was learning a lot," Perez said. "Sally [Boynton Brown] and I had lunch a number of times talking about our shared interest in building 57 state parties that work." Perez's flub harkened back to when Barack Obama was campaigning in the 2008 election. "I've now been in 57 states?" Obama said. "I think one left to go." Free Beacon ;

Maybe they keep thinking of the 57 Islamic states. - Curious, isn't it? There are

I find it curious that Trump won't show his tax returns. I find it curious that he still runs his business and makes profits from his businesses while he is pushing rules that benefit businesses more than the middle class. I find it curious that Trump is pushing businesses to bring jobs back to America and he isn't. I find it curious that he is taking credit for jobs coming back that he had nothing to do with.

There are a lot of things about him that I am curious about.

I believe there are 57 U.S. states and territories. - nm

Form 57 territory parties then - same difference

When Trump mangles every single tweet, speech, etc., uses words that are not words, and uses many many of the same words over and over again, I guess the need to nitpick little teensy things is a way to compensate.

There are indeed 50 states, DC, and 5 territories, also American Samoa I believe is what the 57 refers to, and if Perez wants to call them state parties why not?

The territories vote for representatives who represent them in Congress. Unfortunately, they are unable to vote for president. Well, that could change in the future and if Democrats want to get a handle on that I say good luck to them.

Can you say "alternate facts?" - nm

There are 16 territories, so that would add up to 66. - xx

There are indeed 16 territories, but only 5 of them are inhabited. An atoll that has no residents and is contaminated with Agent Orange, for example, hardly requires the formation of political parties.

Hence, the poster you are replying to is quite correct. 57 US states and territories. In the future, perhaps avoid the temptation to omit half the facts.
Territories are not states. - Period.

So your actual complaint boils down to the fact that he said "57 state parties" when you think he should have been super-pedantic and said "57 state and/or territory parties".

Got it.

No wonder we've had so many tornadoes this week - you were spinning that one way too hard!
Who in their right mind says 57 states? - Common Core American History?

The fact that you ask that question demonstrates that you're grasping at straws. Because of course, that's not what he said (at least, according to the OP, who did not include a link).

What he said was "57 state parties". The noun is 'parties', with 'state' as a modifier of 'parties'. He was talking about "57 parties of the state variety". Which is, of course, perfectly reasonable.

So what are you using? Common Core English, I guess?

Unless you do Common Core math or Obama - math.

Obama had self-proclaimed Commies in his cabinet. Guess they never got the memo on how many states America actually has.
