That would have fractured the party even further. No way Hillary supporters would have gotten behind any candidate if the DNC 'forced' Hillary to step down

So we were ****ed either way

Imagine if Obama fired DWS in 2014 like he was supposed to. He really was a big part of the problem.

I still can't wrap my head around this..

How could this ever happen?!

From an amazing man/president like Obama to someone like Trump..

Umm no....the Dems superdelegates would have rallied around Hillary no matter who the DNC chair was. That' s how party politics work

Pretty much every Dem asked Hillary to run 2014. It wasn't like they had whole list of people to run after the hollowing out that happened.

Yea I mean when people are bitter and stay home because they don't like their party's nominee

I love Michelle to death but I would not even want her to run. Live her life happily and peacefully, **** america and their ********. I would not want her to have to deal with the racism and bigotry even though she already has and can handle it.

Hillary was obviously not the only problem when the Democrats lost everything: the House, the White House & the Senate. It's definitely an ideology issue too.

I agree that some of the existing DNC need to go. No more Clinton, Warren, Sanders, Biden for president.

Lesser known names like Brown and younger democrats like Booker will be the way to go.

I think I'm getting fully behind a Booker/Brown ticket for 2020.

They should now choose a new figure, who should oppose trump whenever he does something wrong... This candidate should be a spotless and charismatic one. Someone everyone can relate with... This is how you should nurture the new candidate

Yeah, he didn't unify the party, but he seems to have carried more of his party than Hillary did. Looks like more of the NeverTrumps eventually changed their mind and went for him, while the anti-Hillary people dug in their heels.

[RihRihGirrrl]

The Dems need to understand that their base are made up of unreliable voting blocks...they need to groom candidates that ware going to ignite the base, motivate youth voters and connect with inter city voters. Passion and enthusiasm is absolutely necessary to get democrats to the polls

Hillary deserved that kind of support from democrats for all that she's done for the party and I'm glad she was our nominee but you can't MAKE people connect with a candidate, either you have it or you don't

[Qwerty1234]

Michelle won't run.


And I think she helped Hillary a lot. I think Hillary would have lost by far more if not for her surrogates tbh. The problem is, people just didn't like her AND people thought she would be elected for sure.


They thought they could afford to stay home.
And now, well, here we are.

this is true and definitely the case but there was proven collusion between the DNC and Clinton campaign to suppress Bernie so you can't blame the Little Berners for being upset at the outcome

not to mention he had a more enthusiastic base which would have been what we needed to challenge Trump's very enthusiastic base and he appealed to white working class voters so by nominating Hillary over Bernie the DNC basically forfeited the white blue collar vote (which was our downfall)

[Ramos]

Booker would be SO great as a president, he first needs to come clean with his sexuality though. He would be literally destroyed if he tries to run for president. I can already see the exact same delusional "Gays For Trump" attacking him for being in the closet.

[Monster Megamind]

Democratic party should publically accept that they couldn't gauge the public mood. And now they are reinventing themselves for the better... Only when you acknowledge your mistake, it's when people will start trusting you again slowly

I know that. I'm talking about how the primary and GE were run. It would have been better for the party overall if DWS wasn't there, and somebody more competent was leading after the terrible 2014 midterm defeat. Might be time to get rid of Nancy Pelosi too.

No worries, she has no interest in politics and I'm sure that's part of the reason

[Sazare]

Are people really still floating around Michelle's name for 2020/2024

I love her to pieces but no. And I'm sure she'd agree.

[Khal]

For people more knowledgeable: after reading Bernie's speech about opposing the ****** part of Trump's policies, is there actually any way democrats can realistically block any of the crap the Rs try to pass, seeing as they control the house & senate?
