unfortunately and I am wary of saying this but the democrats need to not just focus in on minorities like african americans, hispanics, muslims and lgbtq. They have to focus in on other groups as well.

If the democratic party becomes just the party of the minorities, they will continue to lose.

Its sad to say that the democrats dont need Ellison as party leader even as qualified as he is. He again represents african american and muslim characteristics combined.

the democrats need to probably have a white male lead the party to have the best chance getting elected and helping the minorities get on equal footing.

I hate to say that but in todays environment I think its true.

What will that famous liberal media focus on? hibbing Dec 2016 #1
