Donald Trump should be magnanimous and gracious toward those whom he defeated this week, but his first duty is to keep faith with those who put their faith in him. The protests, riots and violence that have attended his triumph in city after city should only serve to steel his resolve.
Look, I was convinced that Trump would carry New Hampshire along with all the states that George W. Bush had carried in 2004 , plus that one house seat in Maine.

The Senate's soon-to-be-top Democrat told labor leaders Thursday that the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade deal at the center of President Barack Obama's "pivot" to strengthen ties with key Asian allies, will not be ratified by Congress.
