Senator Elizabeth Warren put out a statement through The Boston Globe addressing Trump's bitter victory.
As usual, like most Democrats, Warren showed class and respect for the election results, and even offered up an olive branch.
She told the Boston Globe, "It’s no secret that I didn’t want to see Donald Trump win yesterday,” the Massachusetts Democrat said in a statement to the Boston Globe, noting that returns show Hillary Clinton coming up short in the Electoral College even though she appears poised to tally more votes overall.
“I’m intensely frustrated by the apparent likelihood that, for the second time in five elections, a Democratic nominee will have won the popular vote but lost the presidency in the electoral college,” Warren said.
She continued by vowing to work together and said, “President-Elect Trump promised to rebuild our economy for working people, and I offer to put aside our differences and work with him on that task.
"When he takes the oath of office as the leader of our democracy and the leader of all Americans, it is my sincere hope that he will fulfill that role with respect and concern for every single person in the country, no matter who they are, where they come from, what they believe, or whom they love.”
That's a big ask since he exuded none of those qualities running his campaign.
If Trump had lost, today we would be hearing from Rep. Jason Chaffetz that he's already assembled his team and scheduled a date for the next Oversight Committee investigative hearing.
