So I'm late to the party. But Trump has given Mcconnel and all his buddies permission to say whatever they want now. That is what happened with Liz Warren and I think what she did could be a big step in the long run for Dems to get back on their feet.

However, in the long run, it made Republicans look like tone-deaf bullies. […]

Now there you go again DJ, being too kind.

To my eyes, the Over-reaction of McConnell made him and his Repub cohorts look like a bunch of SCARED, White Supremacist, male chauvinist pigs. Which I would argue is exactly who they are,

But here's what the Dems must realize. The rise of Trump has *liberated* McConnell and his ilk to say and do even more reprehensible things in order to appeal to red-meat voters, in particular, in hopes of gaining even more power. In other words, you can't shame them.

Admittedly, I don't know enough about Elizabeth Warren to know if she'd make a good leader for the Democrat party. But she comes across as a smart, left-wing populist who is not afraid to "fight the good fight" against Repub foolishness. And she appears to be quite popular with left-wing Dem voters,

DJ:
{McConnell} would be wise to recognize that women are not simply going to go away quietly and allow the white male establishment to tell them what to do. […]

Judging by his own words and deeds, Trump is an immoral reprobate, a sexual predator, and pathological liar. And yet, the majority of White women who showed up to vote voted for him. That is a very significant, and quite disturbing, fact.

DJ:
McConnell’s shortsighted actions have awakened a sleeping giant. Too bad the GOP is completely unaware of the bonfire they just ignited. […]

I pray you're right DJ. But the Dems have got a lot of work to do. They have to wage smart battles. That means rolling up their sleeves and really doing the hard work to appeal to a broad spectrum of American voters across all heritages and diverse backgrounds. And give the masses reasons to vote FOR you, first and foremost. NOT just against your opponent.

Winning the popular vote matters. But the truth is, the Electoral College count matters Most.
