President Trump for the win

Our panelists react to the 2016 presidential election. They're somewhere between hopeful and despondent.

President Elect Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States. How does our panel feel? Josh Barro is placing himself in the middle of the reaction spectrum -- not despondent but not blase either. Dahlia Lithwick says she's firmly in the "despondent" category. Rich Lowry says he's cautiously hopeful. And David Frum is all the way in "alarmed." As Donald Trump prepares for his transition to power, Democrats consider how much to try to compromise and how much to protest the administration and Republicans who control both the House and Senate.

Josh Barro (Business Insider) moderates from the Center. Dahlia Lithwick (Slate.com) is on the Left. Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right. David Frum (The Atlantic) is our special guest.
