TYT - How to Rebuild the Democratic Party

Cenk Uygur of TYT presents a 5 point plan to rebuild the Democratic Party.

I agree with his 5 points completely, but I am optimistic that it will be easier to swing back the other direction in 2018 (midterms) or 2020 than he thinks.

Trump got a lot of angry, disenchanted voters to swing his direction because a complete question mark sounded better to them than Clinton's known-quantity establishment. But if he doesn't follow through for them (which is essentially impossible in many cases for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is self-contradictory stances/promises that can't ALL be followed) much of that support will collapse fast.

IF the Democratic Party gets its act together semi-quickly and follows at least some of Cenk's ideas, they can ride the wave the other direction.

Fire the DNC....yes....AND anyone working for the Clinton campaign. They are all poisoned, and poison to the party now.
Don't put Sanders in as head, we need him in the Senate. He's not the only honest person available, find another or wait until he's retired please.
Removing big money, first from their own campaigns and then if elected from the election in general as a platform base is, perhaps, their ONLY possibility for survival now. The days of accepting 90% of funding from <10 people and still winning elections are over....for the Democrats at least. Working for the people rather than donors....well, removing the money should make that automatic, but perhaps it still needs saying.

Sadly, I think he's right, Democrats in power will snicker at all of those proposals, won't adopt any of them, and will lose even bigger in 2018. We need them to take a long, hard, honest look in the mirror, do an honest critical assessment of the election and how and why they lost against someone so terrible as Orange Kanye, and have an epiphany, or we're just going to be moving farther and farther to the 'right' for the foreseeable future while the Democrats only whine and cry that things aren't fair and it's someone else's fault.

I agree with item 4 Get the money out.

I would be for flat amount of tax dollars to politicians for them to use for reelections ..

Also after public service then no more than 2 years as a lobbyist and then you out for good. Go back home and take a normal job. no more political service.
