Part One

Trump voter: Ohio
The Republican candidate was lifted to victory by a part of the country that was once the heart of industry -- and one Ohio voter explains why she rejected the Democrats in favour of the outsider. 

What to tell kids
Supporters of Hillary Clinton thought she would be the first woman ever elected President -- and tonight, a Latino immigrant in Texas tells us about breaking the news to her daughters. 

Trump polling
The number of polls that predicted Donald Trump's victory was approximately zero -- which is why there's approximately a zero percent chance the Washington bureau chief for the Huffington Post will ever believe polls again. 

Part Two

Trump: Woolsey
Donald Trump's national security policy seemed like a work in progress throughout his campaign. James Woolsey -- director of the CIA under former President Bill Clinton and now serving as one of Trump's advisers -- explains what he meant, what he didn't mean, and how he means to proceed. 

Christian radio host
About eighty per cent of white evangelical Christians voted for Mr. Trump, but Tony Beam is a Christian radio host who didn't -- because, for him, it came down to a question of character. 

Part Three

Trump: Canada
Now that Donald Trump is set to move into the White House, we try to figure out whether Canada and the U.S. will be sharing beers, or putting up fences. 

Trump: Muslim American
He says he wants to unify the country. But after everything else Mr. Trump has said, Muslim-Americans aren't sure they're part of that unification process. 

Trump: Mexico
We find out how Mexico is dealing with the election, and the president-elect who wants to build a wall.
