Serious question: Did Senate Democrats somehow miss or forget about the elections we had last week? Wow:
Senate Democrats voted on Thursday to keep Senator Harry Reid of Nevada as their leader, but his victory came only after a nearly four-hour closed-door meeting in which 28 caucus members expressed their frustration with the party’s direction after an Election Day drubbing. The voting was done by secret ballot, but it was not unanimous, reflecting a divide within the party over the need to elevate new faces and younger leaders. Those concerns were reflected in part in the decision Thursday to create a new but relatively small leadership role for Senator Elizabeth Warren, 65, of Massachusetts, a folk hero of the left.
“When you have an election like this, common sense says we need to change things,” said Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri, one of the Democrats who did not vote for Mr. Reid. “The voice was very loud and unmistakable,” she added. “To me that means changing leadership, and it was just that simple.”

Old white man club.
Warren is a avowed communist. she makes no bones about it. they call her a "folk hero". this is the direction the democratic party is heading
Thats what you used to say about Republicans.
Shows you can't fix stupid....which runs rampant there!
That's why they lost.
But this is Harry Reid, the multi-billionaire. He can buy and sell anybody else in congress. Fear is a great enforcer.
