I mean really, the Democrats did this to themselves and they deserve it 100%. They could have chosen anyone else to run. If they wanted a woman they could have begged Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota. I would have voted for her without question. They stuck with the crooked Clintons. You reap what you sow.
Now they lost the White House, Congress and the Senate and will watch 3 conservative judges appointed.
So the Republicans will soon control the Presidency, the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and also a significant majority of governorships and statehouses. For a party that is on its death bed according to some people, that is a pretty astounding accomplishment.
Death of the neoprogs, apparently. With Bernie now out by his own betrayal of his supporters, who will step up and claim the real liberals? Its got to be somebody much younger and outside the system.
The Republicans still need to keep moving left on social issues.
But what do the Democrats need to do?
I'd throw out that they need to give up on gun control rhetoric. At a minimum, it's killing them in many Senate races.
They're really not effective on the topic anyway.

Actually, could be the opposite...we'll know more when the analytics are done but the message from this election for the democrats could be that screwing over the far left candidate and largely taking the black vote for granted can cost you an election.
Could actually translate into MORE political power for some which is a theory I've been pushing for some time. No free milk and you actually get a seat at the table.
People are tired of the BS, tired of the name calling, and being ridiculed. One side was totally dismissed, and support for Donald was not counted by many pundits.
Tired of racist remarks thrown out at every freaken chance it was thrown in our faces. I was willing and able to give Hillary a chance if she had won. I did with Obama, but he let me down, not because of his color, but because of policy, attitude, and a division, like I have never ever seen in my lifetime.
The establishment from both sides, need to take a good long hard look at themselves, because they are what people object too from both sides. The only way we can work as a Nation is together, and sorry but there are many times, when Obama, seem to work for some but not others, and we object to that also. But this should not be a time that we won and you lost, if we can work together, for common cause and good of our Nation, that is better then being divided.
I said on this forum many times, I have good black friends and Hispanic that voted for Trump, maybe some believe me maybe some did not. It appears I am right, because they did. As they told me we are Americans first and foremost, not a color of skin, a people who want a strong vibrant Nation to live in, where we have security for the people, and that we matter.
You see behind close doors, because one side is so damn bigoted, many people kept their decision to vote for Trump to themselves, I was told this many times over, and it is a damn shame, that some people felt, they could not be truthful about their decision, because of being called racist, uncle tom, a bigot and other names I refuse to say.
The people and the people have spoken, enough is enough of the crap, get over being sad, and give this Man a chance as we all gave Obama. He brought a division like no other President ever, and if you disagree, that is fine, but the people who have voted, saw this, and were tired of it. Had a good dear black friend that is over joy this morning, he said to me, hours ago, maybe I can be honest now, without being ridicule, or cussed at, or being called a racist.
