The Gist isn’t serving up a Spiel today—too many questions, too few answers. Instead, Mike puzzles through the day with a few friends of the show:
Jacob Weisberg reacts to the chants of “not my president.” Weisberg is the chairman and editor in chief of The Slate Group and the host of Trumpcast.
The New Yorker’s Adam Davidson expects a poorer country and world under President-elect Donald Trump. He outlines the range of possible economic changes.
John Dickerson, moderator of Face the Nation on CBS, delves into the details of Hillary Clinton’s loss. Dickerson is also a political columnist for Slate and author of Whistlestop: My Favorite Stories from Presidential Campaign History.
