James Comey, the now former FBI director, became on Tuesday the latest to join the growing list of officials President Trump has fired in the early days of his presidency.
I was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey's letter on Oct. 28 and Russian Wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off.

Despite all the challenges we face, I remain convinced that YES, the future is female.
Hillary Clinton made her first public remarks on the state of women’s issues since President Trump’s inauguration and the Jan. 21 Women’s March on Washington.
This world has changed and I have changed. And I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe to be disaster to this country and the strong and amazing women and minorities who reside here. Hatch Act be damned. I am with Her.
Agent Kerry O’Grady, who leads the Secret Service’s Denver district.
White women historically have been protected — at least nominally. There's been lip service about preserving the virtue of the white woman. But black women don't have that luxury, so in a way, they don't fall for that as some white women do.

Protesters took to the streets Wednesday in at least 10 cities to march against president-elect Donald Trump - and numerous college students and faculty leaders took to social media to announce support groups and even postponed exams.
Protests were underway in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D.C., Portland, Ore., St. Paul, Minn. and several other cities. An estimated 2,000 protesters shouted angrily in downtown Seattle, expressing their frustration at the Trump victory over Democrat and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who won 228 electoral votes to Trump's 279.
Police in riot gear struggled to hold back scores of protesters in some of the cities as protesters chanted "Not My President" and "No Racist USA." The protests were mostly peaceful. Seattle police said they were investigating a report of a shooting near the site of the protest in that city, but it may not have involved protesters.
In Los Angeles, protesters poured into the streets near City Hall and torched a giant Trump effigy, the Los Angeles Times reported. Later in the night, hundreds marched onto the busy 101 Freeway which brought the highway to a complete standstill. The California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles Police Department —who urged protesters to remain lawful and peaceful — responded and were seen leading demonstrators away from the busy highway. At least 13 people were later arrested, LAPD Officer Tony Im told the Los Angeles Times.

Hillary Clinton, hopeful Tuesday that she was poised to shatter the nation's "highest and hardest glass ceiling," instead Wednesday publicly conceded the presidential race to Donald Trump, saying the nation owed "him an open mind and the chance to lead."
“I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans," Clinton told supporters, including her staff, as she tried to strike a hopeful note despite what she described as a "painful" loss.
“I still believe in American, and I always will," Clinton said, surrounded by her family, including former president Bill Clinton.
In introducing his running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine said Clinton “has been and is a great history maker."
Several hours earlier, Clinton called Trump, to congratulate him on becoming the nation's president-elect. However, she did not make an appearance before backers gathered at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center for what was expected to be a victory party.

Above all, we, as a nation, should never, ever have another election like this one.

Donald Trump's stunning victory Tuesday was nothing less than a repudiation of the Obama presidency.
"Elections have consequences," as President Obama himself said after his 2008 win. And for Obama, it's hard to imagine a more consequential outcome Tuesday night.
With Republicans maintaining control of the House and Senate, President-elect Trump would be in a position to repeal large parts of Obama's legislative agenda, repeal his executive orders with a stroke of a pen, and install conservative Supreme Court justices.
Consider the opposite scenario: Clinton's election would have ushered in a new era of American politics: The Obama era. With his former secretary of State in the White House, Obama would be able to count on on a successor who will pursue some of his most transformative and controversial policies: immigration reform, the expansion of health care and environmental regulation.
Trump has pledged to repeal every one of them.

Bill Clinton spoke confidently while in Iowa last month, but he described a loss for his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as a possibility.
“We are on the verge of having the best times America has ever had if we do the right things and show the right face to the world and show the world how to walk away from the madness,” he said.
On Tuesday, in his view, America walked toward "the madness" and, in doing so, away from the Clinton family.

Rarely has ambition, in such different forms, taken such different routes toward the White House.
Here, for each candidate, are five defining moments that occurred before most Americans got to know them — Clinton before the White House and the State Department, Trump before Atlantic City and The Apprentice.
