Here's an archive link to a Daily Kos blog. It's instructive because it's part of the whole "how could this happen to us" soul searching that happens after a loss. Within, find the writer trying to wear the loss as a moral victory. We lost, but we lost for the right reasons.

And those reasons? Racism, racism, racism, and guns. And I couldn't be bothered to dig into the comments, but I bet dollars to donuts someone is calling out the writer for not throwing sexism into the mix as well.

That right there is the the democrat nightmare scenario: that they come away from this massacre and learn NOTHING. At the end of a electoral disaster the wise go through the wreckage and try to learn what went wrong, and the foolish double down on what didn't work. They need to accept that the rust belt states that cost them the election largely voted for Obama for two terms, and the race card doesn't fit.
