I am so old, I remember when having a criminal as POTUS was considered a bad thing.

14. Don't agree at all on the grass roots.

The wins by young women of color and other signature 2018 wins resulted largely from new energy pumped in by millennials, women running for office, and Indivisible. Trump is a consequence of old order politics - too many New York politicians and agencies not outraged soon enough with his discriminatory housing policies and sham business financing schemes, turning a blind eye to his mob associations when he sought to own casinos, etc. At every turn the people who should know better shined him on, put him on TV, tolerated his ripoffs of contractors and people of color.

I say the grassroots, of all ages, is the best asset, because they are more media savvy than the mainstream part of the party. I do agree that pushback against old media and better use of old and new media to amplify Democratic messages is needed badly. There's a job for everybody to turn this mess around.
