At this point the Democratic Party has itself sitting at the same point the Republican Party was in 2015 - too many potential candidates, essentially drastically watering down the ability to form any cohesive narrative and potentially setting themselves up for a run-up knife fight in a phone booth. I am not sure Perez and team have the skills necessary to keep the knives pointed in the right direction.
Good point on the crowded field being similar to the situation the Republicans had in 2015.
Perez doesn't have that skill to focus the passions. The only thing he's good at is spouting empty nonsensical platitudes. He does not seem capable of anything else. For one thing: us progressives despise him (more than we hate Trump even) and do not trust anything he says or does. He has not displayed any ability to forge the two wings into one cohesive party with something like a compromise platform with something from both sides. Under him the division has gotten worse. Under his incompetent leadership progressives and establishment democrats are at eachother's throats not united and taking it to the republicans.
Perez is a money guy not a leader. Certainly not the one the DNC needs in charge right now. If we win in 2020 it will be because the bungling of the RNC, how unpopular Trump is, and a singularly inspiring candidate offsetting Perez's lack of leadership in the DNC.
