#1 ...So, to recap:

1. A Democratic candidate runs to the far left.
2. Said candidate gets her ass handed to her, Congress remains in the hands of the other guys, as do a pretty solid majority of the state legislatures. This can in no small way be laid directly to the feet of a political philosophy that is terrifyingly liberal, anti-American, and anti-democratic.
3. After just about a week of careful, reasoned analysis of the reasons for said defeat, the Democrats nominate as their new leader someone who is even more terrifyingly liberal, anti-American, and anti-democratic.

Got it.

#2 ...and a clear product of urban America, after you just lost nearly all of rural America.

#4 Trump promises to clean the MB from government. Can this be applied retroactively to those with sympathies to the MB such as Ellison? I thought the MB (or was it CAIR) was named as a co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial in Texas a few years back and considered a fellow-traveler terrorist.

#5 Ellison has now publicly denied that he was a member of the Nation of Islam.

He was a member under the name Ellison X Mohammud or Ellison Hakim but this is a pretty thin disguise.

Personally, I'd like him to be the voice and face of the national Democratic Party.

#7 They are trying to find another "Obama Hussein". Problem is Obama stuck to the teleprompter scripts and won. Plus after 8 years of such people, this ain't 2008 anymore.

#10 They do like having our past/current enemies as members of the Democrat party don't they.

#11 They think they can continue, as Obama did, to fool enough of the people enough of the time.

#12 They are going back to the playbook and using it again, without revisions.

Isn't that something like the definition of insanity: doing the same thing again and expecting a different result?
