“Corporate democrats” in his own words. 
He’s doing the lord’s work, bless.
Anyway, let’s see how long this corporatist grift lasts. Every progressive incumbent with maybe one halfway-exception retained their seat, including in swing districts. Gains were progressive gains. Just about every loss was a mediocre “moderate” who stood for absolutely nothing, and actively mocked the idea of universal healthcare & living wages (looking at you Shalala). The state legislatures failed to shift from GOP, thanks to almost complete apathy in the Dem leadership... but there’s a whole lotta progressives suddenly in power there as well, particularly in New York State & Rhode Island.
Oh and, small factoid: organizing by labor unions in the southwest & in Philly probably handed Trump the defeat. Corporatist Dems need to go extinct, and quick.
