Democrats are still in deep denial about 2016. They were supposed to enjoy a landslide victory that would vanquish the Republican Party forever. It wasn't supposed to be close. Then they lost, badly. On the heels of defeat they've employed a variety of strategies to help them cope.
First, they claimed the election was rigged, then we endured a worthless recount effort that only solidified the win, then they started screaming about popular votes, crowd sizes, and "legitimacy." None of the caterwauling mattered because none of it changed the fact that Hillary would never be President. Now, they're starting to look toward the future.
