Its funny because the Democrat establishment just doesn't get it.  They have crowned Trump a two term president by using this establishment Clinton era democrat who could not mobilize voters for Clinton.

Ellison was their only bet to win because he could mobilize the large progressive wing which got Obama and all those democrats in Republican states like Montana and Kansas and Nebraska and North Dakota elected back in 2008.  Democratic establishment candidates always lose, they are the status quo, truly worse than the worse of Republicans.  They turn off Independents, left leaning Republican and progressives, african americans, and working class.  President Trump can be secure knowing he will win his second term as Perez rigs the rules for some establishment candidate no one likes to be the next Democratic nominee, 2020 will be Clinton lightweight vs Trump.
