    Is someone who represents the changing demographic in America from a white, Christian, English-speaking majority. To represent not only the DNC Coalition but also We The People. The last type of chairman we need is someone like Debbie, Eliison isn't a bad pick, and it doesn't look like Obama is seeking to head the DNC. This needs to be the requirements for a changing America:

    1. A different religion aside from Christianity or Catholicism - Whether it be Judaism or (gasp) Islam, a new faith needs to implant itself in America. The only revelations that have come out of Christianity or Catholicism is proof Christ existed, but "God" might still be a bunch of hot gas for all we know. Christian principles, as anyone should know, are unwelcoming to the homosexual community, considering it a sin to marry the same sex. This type of religious condemnation is NOT what we need.

    2. Someone who is bilingual - Face it, English is slowly on its way out. Despite more and more countries teaching youngsters English as a Second Language, such as Germany, America needs someone who speaks more than one language. Go to Colorado, California, Southern Texas, or Arizona, and you will see the growing presence of a Hispanic community (i.e. more Spanish radio and TV stations). Fun fact, German is a commonly spoken language in Minnesota.

    3. Someone of a different race - And no, I'm not playing the race card. Obama was a start, but not a means to an end. If a person of color is appointed to the DNC Chair, they need to be younger to better connect with the urban neighborhoods and the millennials in the African-American community. Older is not particularly wiser 100%.

    The Democratic needs to rebuild itself from less of a socialist agenda, and more for We The People. Whereas the Republican party is more exclusive, the Democratic party is more Inclusive. It bears repeating. Whereas the Republican party is more exclusive, the Democratic party is more inclusive. A good example is the honorable, SCOTUS ruling concerning the LGBTQ community. Whomever is appointed to the DNC Chair is to represent America in a brighter, more justified light, and by meeting the above criteria--and losing the surname Clinton, its off to a good start.

    America, you'll have to come up with another plan to kill them off.

    As a straight, white man I hardly feel Included in today's Democratic Party.
    Color coded bean counting and not ability is their mantra and who needs another
    straight, white male, bean.


    The Democratic Party needs to stop catagorizing people and start representing, America! :rant:

    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.


    BTW
    Senator Al Franken should be a contender for the Bernie Sanders wing.
    Recycling candidates, Biden, Warren, etc. is less appealing.

    If you think that real Americans that voted in Trump want what is in your numbered points, you are sadly out of step with what real Americans want for the country.

    Yeah, define these "real Americans."

    I have yet to find a Trump supporter who actually has a reason, instead of being fed a fairy tale agenda, and was played off of fear and paranoia. The reason might be because there is no other explanation to give.

    What makes you think Islam or Judaism is welcoming and tolerant of homosexuality?

    Judaism is not much better than christianity in that respect and Islam hates gays or perhaps you missed how they tie up and throw gay men off of high buildings in Islamic nations. Or for that matter the muslim terror attack on the gay night club in Orlando.

    Teaching english as a second language does not indicate english is on the way out but instead quite the opposite.

    Seems your plan would be self defeating

    I wasn’t aware that ‘We the People’ was a political party, would you care to illuminate?

    I think that more real Americans voted against Trump than for him so I don't think you get to speak for who is out of step with what.

    Your rainbow coalition will never hold together once you defeat the white man. The Hispanics and Blacks will start fighting over the spoils. They already mix it up competing for housing in several cities.

    And spoils it will be. Who is going to run the computers and such when you've gotten rid of the white man? You could import more Asians, I guess. But be warned they are at least as racist as whites, perhaps more so.

    And it is not like any of these minorities treat women with anything like the respect that white people do.

    Not only will your scheme destroy the country, but you will get exactly the opposite society than the one you are trying to engineer.

    LOL, a regurgitation of the "progressive" agenda, more of the same. That's why you lost. Keep it up.

    Define, "the same."

    Republicans exercise "been there, done that" policies with no forward momentum.

    I made that clear so you wouldn't make that assumption, thus why I opened the point with that remark.

    You need a white guy with Wall Street connections. They aren't going to be handing checks to a one-eyed Buddhist lesbian with a polio leg.

    How Orwellian of you. The liberal ideal has always been to include everyone in the full rights, freedoms, and benefits of our society and citizenship. It has been the policy and practice of the Democratic Party to bring into the fold those groups who have been being excluded - such as ethnic minorities and homosexuals. That the right wing tries so hard to characterize such inclusion as division speaks volumes to the characteristic duplicitous nature of the right - not to mention the mean spiritness that so dominates what emanates from the more conservative among us.

    You think Islam is welcoming to homosexuals? LOL!!!!!

    Democrats need someone like Jim Webb, who could have easily snagged tons of white working class voters away from Trump. Hell, I would have even considered voting for him.

    Unfortunately, a strong white male with good values is a little too "icky" in the current progressive Democrat environment. More than likely we'll get some xenophile candidate, like the one you are describing.

    Well - a simple truth is that the Electoral College is voting in Trump - the American People voted for Clinton.

    Not saying Trump didn't win - he just had to rely on a rigged system favoring less populated states to become President.
    End of story.

    The "same" is the "progressives" carving up the nation into camps and pitting each camp against the others.

    Its the "progressive" hatred of the Constitution, middle class working men, blue collar jobs and the people that occupy those jobs, rural people and their lifestyle, religion.

    They divide people into classes each with benefits based not on skills or ability but on their assigned category.

    The "progressive" plan is unstable, and its falling apart and taking the nation down the toilet with it, and the people realize it.

    But you keep it up because the people need to see what "progressives" are really all about so the people can fully recognize and reject the threat to their lives.

    The liberal ideal is to gain power by tearing down the majority and the status quo. Marx and Engels promoted the exploitation of tensions between various groups by way of "conflict theory" in order to divide and conquer. That's why the left tries to build a coalition of minorities because they want to take power away from the majority. It has nothing whatsoever to do with giving rights and freedoms to everyone. The left would gladly take rights and freedoms away if they could, like taking away their oppositions right to free speech by calling it "hate speech", and taking away their right to defend themselves and their families with a firearm.

    Your unicorns and rainbows attempt at describing left-wing ideology isn't consistent with its Bolshevik roots. The reality is far more grim.

    I like this suggestion, immensely. I feel strongly that the last thing America needs as a united Nation of various ethnic groups and lineages who have invested everything they have toward the best of US is another shade hating blasphemer who entertains the infestation of further dysfunction and division.

    As individuals, it seems some of us do not seem to recognize just how internationally influenced our American English is.

    It's not a "rigged system". If 3 or 4 states with high populations were able to control the remaining 46 states and the wide geographical, cultural, and economic differences between them, that would be a rigged system.

    If Trump won the popular vote and Hillary won the EC, none of you would be complaining about the electoral college, right now. You'd be thanking the Founders for creating a system that kept Trump out of the White House.

    By the way, Dems, please, PLEASE run Keith "X" Ellison in 2020 like the OP suggested. I think he would be the perfect representative for your party as it exists today.

    It's not just about Trump. You haven't been paying attention.

    Republicans added to their historic 2014 gains in the nation’s state legislatures with the addition of five state House chambers and two state Senate chambers in last week’s election, while Democratic control was reduced to levels not seen since the Civil War.

    Republicans are now in control of a record 67 (68 percent) of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers in the nation, more than twice the number (31) in which Democrats have a majority, according to the bipartisan National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).

    “That’s more than at any other time in the history of the Republican Party,” according to NCSL. “They also hold more total seats, well over 4,100 of the 7,383, than they have since 1920.”
    Next year, the GOP will control both legislative chambers in 32 states - an all-time high, according to NCSL - while Democrats will have total control of just 13 state legislatures.
    Since 2009, when President Obama took office, his party has lost a total of 919 seats in state legislatures nationwide, according to NCSL data.
