Other than for the obvious, I don't have any good ideas for those poor Rats ... perhaps some of you guys can do better.

Democrats are grappling with how to draw the right lessons - and avoid the wrong ones - after an extraordinary presidential election.
Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump is an unmitigated disaster for Democrats, who want to ensure nothing like it happens again. But Clinton’s popular-vote lead over Trump is so large that it complicates the question of how to recalibrate for future elections.

"Everybody can point to something that went wrong - and they’re right," he said. "It makes it impossible to know what the party really needs to do.
"The [Bernie] Sanders people believe, if only we had been more populist we'd have won, and they're right. The Hillary people believe, if only Bernie hadn't attacked her so hard in the primary we'd have won, and they're right. Everybody's right."
Adding another explosive ingredient to the mix, The Washington Post reported Friday that the CIA now believes Russia intervened in the election to help Trump win. The story clearly has some distance left to run.
Meanwhile, the immediate direction of the Democratic Party is further complicated because it has no obvious leader with the exception of President Obama, who will leave office in less than six weeks.

Other than for the obvious, I don't have any good ideas for those poor Rats ... perhaps some of you guys can do better.
Lesson 1: Quit blaming everybody but yourselves. People are sick of it.
They will conclude that Trump’s win was the result of a Russian hack, and will change NOTHING about how they go about their business.
They’ll get their clocks cleaned in 2020.
Lesson No. Two: Tell the truth and have a message.
Salvation is SO simple, easy and immediate and the stoopids just don't want holy.
They love un-holy.
DIMS aren’t grappling with cr@p.
All they’re doing is trying to figure out how to better camouflage what they really are so as to fool the public next time around.
He's tanned,rested and ready!
And could probably carry Minnesota
I do:
Behave
Be moral
Be honest
Respect individual values
Don’t impose your politics on others
Respect the Constitution
Stop making excuses
Get over PC obsession
Grow up
Siding with fraudulently documented foreigners against the citizens and the rule of law wasn’t very smart, just saying....
Some people can not get past stupid.
While I realize that your base is riddled with commies and socialists ... at least trying to find people who aren’t crooks might be a good idea.
Also, let loose of the idea that something is good to do, or someone is good to elect, simply because they are “Historic” ... you need to be more suspicious of those who want your loyalty. Look more closely at their past accomplishments and be less trusting of their personal and business dealings. Do you trust rich people? If not why do you accept those who got rich in politics?
This is why universities should now be called Conformatoriums.
Boy does Mondale look like Soros
Both are wrong.
The worst is the second one for them, but they never learn. Their superdelegate system is flawed and tyrannical. However, this whole notion that their candidates have to go untested to win has never proven the case. In fact, its the opposite. And Bernie handled her with kid gloves.
She looks like Bella Abzug right before she was sent to he**
Harry Truman once said that you could not get rich in politics unless you were a crook. The Clintons have amassed over $250 million during their years in politics without producing any goods or services.
Corrupt Hillary is a lying sick old crook, who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything she says and does, or causes to be said or done, must be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Her promises are worthless, unless they enrich her in some way.
Her husband is a rapist and a pedophile whom she has actively enabled.
THAT is why she lost the election.
FTA “Democrats win when we harness the power of everyday people and fight for the issues they care about,” Ellison said in a statement announcing his candidacy. “

Democrats win when the GOPe nominates feckless, POS candidates like Dole and McCain instead of conservatives.
Disband.
I have no constructive advice for the Rat party. I want them to continue to lose and lose badly, every where, at all levels of government, all the time. I want the racist, marxist, anti-America, party of hate to go away, forever.
