Election news: Trump won. I'm losing it with the Democrats.

Based on the Democrats’ personnel decisions and public statements, you’d have no idea the party lost control of all three branches of government last week. This week, when the House Democratic Caucus met for the first time since Election Day, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other high-ranking members delivered “what attendees described as a celebratory message despite the odds,” according to Politico’s Nicholas Wu. House Rep. Jim Clyburn said on CBS News, “We ought to just chill out for a while … don’t worry about blaming anybody.” Jeffries told MSNBC: “We can’t be hysterical in our assessment that this was some anti-incumbent wave.” And Nancy Pelosi, who is no longer in a leadership role, insisted to the New York Times that “House members did very well.” Refusing even a hint of introspection, she added: “We don’t agonize over what happened. Jeffries eventually told House Democrats “the buck stops with me,” but according to Axios, “everyone shouted ‘no’ ” in response. Some more conservative members of the Democratic Party are taking this as an opportunity to punch out at their left-leaning colleagues: Rahm Emanuel, speaking to Puck News, diagnosed the issue with Democrats as a lack of comfort in using the term “illegal alien,” a culture war fight 20 years settled.
