Jim Messina, a Democrat who ran Barack Obama's campaign in 2012, said early polls showed the Democratic Party was having trouble connecting with diverse groups of voters, including youth and Hispanic Americans.
We all put this together, do a comprehensive analysis, and discuss how to move forward because we were taught a good lesson tonight. I hope that helps. And we have to think about how to move forward so that we can again become the majority party we were before," Messina said in an interview with MSNBC.
