Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States came as a shock to many Democratic Party activists. Now, Democrats are considering what the party did wrong and what its future might be. Most Democrats -- and even some Republican Party activists -- believed Hillary Clinton would win the election last month. The former Secretary of State was the Democrats’ presidential candidate. But Republicans, under businessman Trump, won the presidency and kept control of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. It will be two years before Democrats can try to take control of Congress. John Fortier works at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, D.C. He says the Democrats must now decide how they will oppose the policies of Trump and the Republicans.
