3. This, people need to stop being in denial about the outcome

We need to move on and come to terms with the fact that we are losing badly. I've said it numerous times already; they have the presidency, house, senate, plus most state legislatures and governorships.

What we have been doing has not been working.

We need to change.

We need to broaden the base, refine our message, adjust some peripheral positions that have been hurting us, and generally get our act together.

Yes, people will trumpet Hillary's lead in the popular vote. To me that underscores our need to expand our base, particularly geographically. Lets face it, there are ZERO straight up nationwide popular voted on offices. For every single elected office, geography matters. Yes, we have a lot of support... in a tiny area (major metros). And very little support elsewhere.
