The Democratic party and their policies of putting America and the American people last has finally caught up with them. They insist on supporting every loon possible in Congress (Sheila Jackson Lee anyone) and nominate the most corrupt, most establishment, most "big money" candidate, perhaps in history. They call Americans deplorable, ignorant, attack Catholics as backwards and treat every minority as incompetent buffoons that need their help to survive. Heck, Hillary even refers to her supporters as stupid.
Just what lessons have been learned? What will happen to keep the DNC a viable party? Will they just fade away into obscurity? A sad footnote in history, one of America's most shameful? Will their policies of divisiveness and class warfare be rejected, and instead will they attempt to unify America?
Hopefully Democrats/Liberals will take off their ideological goggles and swallow a few red pills:
Not all Millennials are Democratic voters who want to live in the trendy urban neighborhood.
Hispanic/Latino is not a race, or even an ethnicity.
Some (actually many) blacks/hispanics/non-whites hold conservative views.
While Christian/religious people make up less percentage as a whole today as they did 2 generations ago, there are still millions of Americans who go to church weekly and hold traditional values.
Speaking of traditional/conservative values and non-whites, Evangelical churches are holding their ranks, thanks largely to an increase of non-white churchgoers.
While neoliberal trade policies have allowed trans-national corporations to pinch a few pennies here and there, they have royally screwed over the backbone of America, and are the number one cause of the shrinking middle class.
Perhaps the term "Diversity" should also include rural white working-class folk.
Heck, perhaps we should all not be so fast to use terms like "black", "white" "hispanic" "city" "suburbs" "gay" "straight", and realize that so many of us are too sophisticated to fit neatly into these silly categories, and then have our political leanings determined by them.
What will they do??? Protest.....Riot etc. That is what they will do. I bet tens of thousands of dirty millenials will be protesting nation wide in weeks to come, all demanding their free stuff. They will wine about how they will lose their free healthcare, how these politically incorrect people have won, how America is "intolerant" etc. Some of them will ask for "safe spaces" to contemplate this election. I expect they will not behave themselves, so I hope the authorities have lots of tear gas ready.

Lets hope some lessons have been learned.
Good question, the last time republicans had this much control in the US was when Dubya was president, hopefully it turns out better.
As for democrats, they need to stop looking at the GOP and start looking at themselves, this country is heading right and has been really, well except for 2008. The big question for the democrats is who's next? The Clintons are finally finished, so whomever steps up in 2020 needs to reach out to all Americans, not just democrats. They need a transcendent star like the republicans have in Trump, and unless he really falters during his first term, it's going to be 8 years before they see the presidency again.
They need a huge makeover from the ground up starting with moving to the center on trade and taxes, and no Hillary wasn't beaten by much, but she did lose to guy who a few months ago made fun of a handicapped person, and years ago bragged about grabbing women by the crotch, so that's basically losing to the lowest common denominator. Not good at all for the parties leader.
What they should do is back off on their diversity crap and recognize immigration policy should benefit current US citizens.
