house and he has the expanded power of the executive that has come through both bush jr. and obama, expanded the powers of the executive he s got a lot of precedent to fall back on now if he wants to act in that way. i sort of think that as much as we re watching him, there has to be a continuing conversation and engagement. he has to know where the boundaries are, in terms of the rest of the political system. you know, he s got to be in conversation with republican senators for example i m sorry, about where he s going. because this is their party too and i don t think that i think it would be a mistake to say, okay, he s got let s just sit back here and watch oh, my god look at what he s going to do now do you really think he s going to do that over there. rather it is, you know, it this was a close election. and there are sort of standards of decency. and there are people out there who are really scared of you. but we have not had a president
but i do think that she will be classy. this is a woman who has tried for 25 years to become president of the united states, prepared for this moment, thought she would get there. must have a deep sense of rejection and must and the whole sense of being disillusioned about what the country is all about. there are a lot of her supporters who woke up today disillusioned. i think she wants to channel that negative energy into something more positive. i do think we are blessed that donald trump and hillary clinton and barack obama are all going to be isgracious and help set a tone. president obama eight years ago, when there was a transition and he became president, that was very very useful. he was a junior senator from illinois and all of a sudden he s the president-elect of the united states. donald trump really has no government experience at all and now he s going to be the commander in chief and the president of the united states. you got to give him an enormous
red, obviously not as bad as we thought. funny enough we do see the dow in positive territory. that volatility is something we can expect to run throughout the day. one thing to keep in mind, though. historically the day after presidential election we do see the s&p 500 fall as we do case in point when president obama won 2008 we did see the s&p 500 fall 5%. carol? all right. so rana, is this a temporary thing? you know, i think that it s going to be up and down. i think there s a few different things going on. the markets have gotten populism not just in the u.s. but in europe and other places wrong almost always. the market didn t predict brexit. they haven t predicted trump. the fact that you saw the big dip right after the victory was really not unexpected. and the fact that after we gave a reasonably pragmatic, even candid acceptance speech that you re seeing a little bit of a recovery is also to be expected. i think what s going to happen is you are going to see increased vol
there s just a lot of question marx going forward. one analyst saying expect a lot more monster swings between today, and inauguration day as we wait to hear more from trump as to where he stands on policy. but i want to leave you with one thought that doesn t matter who would have won the election, history shows us that there often is a sell-off the day after a presidential election. in fact, when president obama won the election in 2008, we did see the s&p 500 fall 5% the next day. carol? all right. alison kosik reporting live for us. we ll check back with you when the opening bell ring at about 9:30 eastern time. so we have a lot to discuss this morning, right? meg reston is here, cnn national political reporter david chalian joins me our cnn political director, david gergen is here, former presidential adviser to nixon, ford, reagan and clinton, and ryan lizza is here a washington correspondent for the new yorker. welcome to all of you.
some surprises when it comes to race and gender. perhaps the biggest, trump did better with blacks and latinos than mitt romney did four years ago. clinton won those groups, but not by an obama margin, not by enough. nationwide, 12% of the electorate is african-american. clinton won 88%. trump, 8%. while that s a huge margin, of course, it s five points less than president obama in 2012. trump narrowed the democrats advantage with latinos as well. 65% of latinos breaking for clinton, 29% for trump. president obama did eight percentage points better in 2012. trump also did well with these groups in battleground states. look at florida. almost 20% of the electorate there tell us they are latino. trump garnering 34% of that vote. that s part of the reason he won florida. 63% of that group breaking for clinton but that was not enough. some interesting developments when you look at gender and education. among college educated white males, trump won 54% of the vote to clinton s 39%.
