so i think what donald trump is doing right now is he s reminding americans, he s reminding particularly senate democrats they re on the hook for several pieces of big legislation coming up, you know, look, the status quo didn t work in 2016. you came from a broken system, a broken party. now s the time to join together and actually get things done. connell: one of the ways he s reminding people as we ve come to expect, richard, is he s taken to twitter. this from yesterday: i always felt i would be running and winning against bernie sanders, not crooked h., as he says, without cheating. and he says he was right. there are wings, richard, as you know, to the democratic party as there are in the republican party. but in this case we re talking about the democrats. how about that sanders wing of the party right now? where do things stand? don t get me wrong, i think the democratic party has its growing to do, and i think there s going to be some moving and shifting. we saw it a couple
stepped down and what was actually demonstrable about what happened in your party during the primary. people are finding ways not to say the word rigged, except mr. ronan, another man up there last night. if you want to bring your party together, you have to let those who feel they were wronged know how things will be right for them going forward. how do you do that? you can t pretend everything is going along fine. the status quo didn t work, it didn t work internally holding the party together and it didn t work externally. i know we don t like saying it or admitting it as democrats. we got beat. he won. yes, russia, yes, comey, yes popular vote, but it should never have even been that close. it s clear we need a different approach. it s clear that, if you do what you ve always done, you ll get what you ve always got. we ve got to acknowledge the mistakes of the past without being doomed to repeat them, without reliving 2016. i didn t love as a democrat living through the 2016 prim
