The good news is that we dodged a bullet in this election. The bad news is that we don't know how many other bullets are coming, or from what direction.
Most voters think Democrats should work with Donald Trump once he’s in the White House, but Democrats strongly disagree. Still, voters are more hopeful about the parties cooperating than they’ve been since President Obama’s inauguration in 2009.

"In victory, magnanimity!" said Winston Churchill.
Astounding. That's the best word to describe the tumultuous election night and the (to most people) surprise victory of Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton hoped to win with votes of Northeasterners, including those who have moved south along Interstate 95 to North Carolina and Florida (44 electoral votes).

With Hillary Clinton holding a 0.9% lead over Donald Trump in the popular vote, 2016 appears to be the fourth time in U.S. history that the president-elect lost the overall vote but won the Electoral College to take the White House.
