PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP

“It is time to recognize that a very significant number of people in the heartland have spoken, and are thoroughly disgusted with the status quo.” That was how Dick Roy of Lawrenceville, Ga.–who felt the media had missed important campaign stories because of a liberal bias–reacted to TIME’s Nov. 21 cover package about the results of the presidential election. Meanwhile, responding to Zeke J. Miller’s piece on how Donald Trump won, Don Marine of Sun City West, Ariz., saw a different side of the equation. “While Miller and most others credit the ‘Joe the plumber’ crowd for electing Trump, the professional elites up and down my street unearth their Trump signs–hundreds of them–and head for the golf course,” he wrote. Many others, rather than looking back at how Trump won, expressed fears about what his win will mean for the future. Keith Paul of South Hadley, Mass., urged TIME to “hold Mr. Trump’s feet to the fire when necessary.”
