First of all, I think we need to double down. The two candidates now running should be named co-Chairman. Democrats need to think out of the box, in my opinion.
Also, we need to focus more on the local and state levels, rather than solely on the Presidency. The power is in the Congress, not the Presidency, when the people need legislation.
The new DNC should contact every local Democratic HQs to discuss finding challengers for every open office, especially for the US Congress. We should be more partisan in our attacks on the "do-nothing" Republicans.
Democrats should look to compete in all 50 states and should have coordination between all State Party Chairs. We need to start at the very bottom and work our way up. We have to re-build the Party.
