Hillary Clinton’s “Astoundingly Poor Performance”
National Review explains the details behind Clinton’s shocking numbers: Hillary Clinton won a majority of the popular vote in only thirteen states, the fewest of any major-party nominee since Bob Dole in 1996.

Happy Thanksgiving Message: Justice Has Been Served—Voters Did Not Elect Hillary
Why would Donald Trump want to waste needless controversy by squandering his capital on prosecuting Hillary Clinton? Voters have already decided that she is not fit to be president.

This Thanksgiving, Get Off the Internet and Talk Turkey
American politics has never been a dreamscape of considered, civil disagreement and wonky progress toward consensus. American politics and the American press have always been rambunctious, tendentious, and at times violent arenas, with warring papers and ideologies fighting viciously.

Obama and His Epic Party Meltdown
By all reported accounts, president-elect Donald Trump and President Obama had a respectful, congenial meeting at the White House.
