Rather than post each of WaPo's opinion pieces on Trump's election in its first week, here are links to a few of them if anyone wants to read what these authors have to say: Paul Waldman: The Trump administration hasn’t even started yet, and it’s already a fiasco Leon Weiseltier: Stay angry. That’s the only way to uphold principles in Trump’s America. E.J. Dionne Jr.: Against Trumpian triumphalism Kathleen Parker: Is the White House already changing Donald Trump? Robert J. Samuelson: Trump’s mission impossible?

The people chose Hillary Clinton. But it’s the electoral vote that counts, not the popular vote, so Donald Trump will be president. And no, I’m not over it. No one should be over it. No one should pretend that Trump will be a normal president. Good to see Robinson so direct. There's clearly a struggle going on at MSNBC between the Scarborough crew and many of the evening opinion folk. The first are well into normalization; the latter, like Robinson here, want to make certain this is no normal process.
