As Republicans bask in the glow of Donald Trump’s astounding comeback victory in the presidential election Tuesday night, the question is, will Democrats do a bit of self-reflection? Will they do a 2012 GOP-style “autopsy” and do a bit of self-reflection, admit mistakes were made, and figure out how to get back in the good graces of the American people?

But to my mind, it seems to me incredible that a guy who led an insurrection against the United States government essentially now is going back into the Oval Office, it’s unbelievable.”
Fellow panelist Brit Hume jumped in and reminded Williams that not everyone believed January 6 to be an “insurrection!” He also brought up Democrats’ constant made-up warning that Donald Trump was a “threat to democracy.” […]
