Attention Democrats: Don’t mourn, organize!

In a Former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), my former congressional colleague, recently offered advice for Democrats’ post-election blues. He suggested that first we stop feeding the “end of democracy woes”; second, that we “embrace the suck”; and third, understand voter anxiety in a time of change.

I have a more concrete list.

We need to engage in voter registration efforts, especially in minority communities, on an ongoing basis. Black Americans and Latinos gave the ma...

Where is the land of opportunity voters were promised? Not in Trump’s America. 

There is little mystery about why Donald Trump won the election last week. After billions of dollars in campaign spending by the two major-party candidates, it mostly came down to the price of a loaf of bread.

According to exit polls, two-thirds of voters were unhappy with the economy, and 69 percent voted for Trump.

Republicans have at least a 52-seat Senate majority and are looking to expand it to 54 seats, as GOP candidates are leading the vote counts in Pennsylvania and Nevada. Such a cushion would strengthen Donald Trump's hand as he fills a Cabinet and other executive and judicial branch positions.

A narrower Senate GOP majority would have put a lot of power in the hands of Republican moderates who didn't support Trump, namely Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Main...
