The Democrats' internal research has been quietly churning out autopsy reports regarding the 2016 election debacle, and the results are disastrous.
Unlike the GOS, they don't blame the loss on racist Bernie supporters, nor Putin! Putin! Putin!
Bernie Sanders has warned the Democratic Party that they need to reach out to independents. Based on a recent PEW survey, it's become critical.
