Reporter moving beyond disappointment to strike a public pose of forgiveness. One thing you realize quickly in this job is that the presidency and the vice presidency is bigger than any of us.

Reporter trump also built a stump speech around serial insults of the president. We have a president who is essentially incompetent. Im telling you. Incompetent.

Julianna goldman shows us the new cooperative attitudes developing on capitol hill. Good morning. Good morning. Well throughout the campaign, when House Speaker paul ryan would get asked about the latest donald trump controversy, he would try and deflect and change the topic. But now, the speaker is singing a different tune. Crediting trump with their big wins and saying hes ready to partner with the incoming president. Our relationships fine. Ive spoken with donald twice in the last 18 hours. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan kept a distance from candidate trump, but President Trump is a different story. We will work hand in hand on a positive agenda to tackle this countrys big challenges. Reporter one of the top items on that list is gutting the president s Signature Health law. Every single republican thought obamacare was a mistake. Reporter a move Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell promised wednesday. It is the single worst piece of legislation among many bad pieces of legislation passed in the first two years of the obama presidency. The sooner we can go in a different direction, the better.

The real test will be when they get to trumps more controversial policies, especially those that go against the republican grain like trade, theres also immigration, and trumps proposal to build a wall. And also to deport an estimated 11 Million Immigrants who are here illegally. What do you think is the first thing that he does . All the signals and what they have said is repealing the Affordable Care act. And then they have to deal with the Supreme Court nomination. Yeah. Fascinating. Big to do list. Very fascinating. Thank you julianna. The antitrump protesters flooded streets through much of the night. Thousands of demonstrators marched, carrying banners and disrupting traffic. Signs with the messages not my president showed the marchers refusal to accept Donald Trumps victory. The protests broke out in that least 38 cities around the country, including right here in new york. Police there arrested dozens of people. Michelle miller is outside trump tower right now. Michelle good morning. Good morning, buildings with trumps name on them became beacons for thousands of protesters angry over the results of this election. Divisions exposed by a hostile president ial race were on full display last night. In cities across the country, thousands took to the streets to voice their outrage over the election of donald trump. We saw crowds actually being disrupted. Reporter on the west coast, protesters set fires and faced off with police. In los angeles, hundreds ran onto interstate 101, temporarily shutting it down. Thats total gridlock on the 101. Reporter more than a dozen people were arrested there. Trump has tapd into something very deep and dark and evil in our country. And now, were all going to pay. Reporter up to 10,000 people packed the streets of midtown manhattan, holding antitrump signs and blocking traffic. About 55 people were arrested near trump tower. Mostly for disorderly conduct. And while there were some calls for unity i think we have a new president and we should all unify and rally around President Trump. Reporter they were drowned out by frustration and fury. Hes a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, nightmare, misogynist might moor and he doesnt represent the values that i know to be american values. If he actually cared about us, he would be bringing us all to the. Not my president reporter chants of not my president stretched from kansas city to seattle. Thousands gathered outside chicagos trump tower where demonstrators shut down streets. Hes dividing us. Hes dividing minorities. Hes dividing women. Hes dividing gays. He is dividing the very social fabric of this world. Reporter in new orleans, no kkk reporter they burned a doll in trumps image. I am what some people would call a conservative. We cannot give up the United States of america for donald trump. And trump tower is now lined with sanitation trucks filled with sand as a protective barrier for this building. We should note there are more protests expected tonight, and through the weekend in cities like cincinnati, and indianapolis. Norah . All right, michelle, thank you so much. The Democratic Party faces an uncertain future this morning. Hillary clinton called for National Unity yesterday during her emotional concession speech. But her party faces a reckoning now that democrats are out of power in washington. Nancy cordes looks at how Party Leaders see the way forward. Good morning. Good morning. Democrats are grappling with how to approach trump. They believe he ran a bigoted, divisive campaign, but they know that voters clearly saw something different. And the reality is that democrats dont control congress, so they cant do anything without him. Thats why clinton tried to strike a conciliatory note in her concession speech. Clinton took the stage amid a sea of tears. Donors, volunteers who never saw this loss coming. Im sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country. Reporter clinton urged women supporters who had longed for a female president not to get discouraged. To all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable, and powerful, and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world. Reporter she said she wants trump to succeed but pointedly warned him of the constitutional constraints he will inherit. The rule of law, the principle that we are all equal in right and dignity, freedom of worship and expression reporter her primary opponent, bernie sanders, was even blunter. To the agree that trump pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic, and antienvironment policies, sanders wrote, we will vigorously oppose him. But there was also an olive branch, House Minority leader nancy pelosi vowed to work with trump on a robust infrastructure jobs bill. Senator elizabeth warren, one of trumps toughest critics, offered to put aside our differences, and Work Together to rebuild the economy for working people. At a dinner last night, Vice President joe biden assured jewish leaders that the president elect will defend israel. Theres going to be disagreements tactically, but never on the basic fundamental commitment. Reporter there are some areas of agreement between democrats and trump like infrastructure. But republicans in congress dont share their enthusiasm for a big spending bill. And things are likely to get ugly quickly between these two parties since republicans say, as youve been discussing, that their first order of business is repealing something the democrats cherish, obamacare. All right, nancy, thank you very much. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson is here. Once again at the table. Good to see you. Frequent flyer miles. Pretty soon you do. Something better than the little peanuts. Should be very interesting at the white house today considering how both sides went at each other so very hard during this campaign. What normally happens during this type of meeting between the two . Well we saw it start to happen yesterday which is everybody agrees to believe in the the sense of bipartisanship, not just the peaceful transfer of power but yesterday you saw president obama say campaigns are tough. Rough things get said. Then when you lose you dust yourself off, you move on. As if this was just any other campaign. But this was so acrimonious. Thats right. But my point is that president obama believes that in a peaceful transfer of power you just need to kind of put, you know, pretend that it wasnt. Pretend that it was just like every other campaign because youve got a new president now and hes trying to prepare the way for the new president in the same way george w. Bush prepared the way for him and this president , president obama talked about how what a good job and gracious host george w. Bush was for him. Even though barack obama spent a lot of time trashing george w. Bush. So he feels like its part of his job. Go ahead. Vice president elect mike pence will meet with Speaker Paul Ryan. Do you see those as kind of the main power players in a legislative agenda Going Forward . I do. Because, first of all paul ryan, you know, can speak the same language as mike pence. He has issues with donald trump although yesterday he came out and theyre now great and dear friends because, paul ryan has a whole list of legislation, the obamacare replacement legislation is written. All he needs is a signature pretty much. Hes got a lot he wants to get done if he can use mike pence to get his checklist signed by the new president thats like christmas for paul ryan. And thats in part what ryans been trying to do, prepare all that legislation theyre friends mike pence and all ryan, they get along very well, dont they . Yes. Everybodys friends in washington. You never really but im not im not denigrating it. I just want i dont yes, theyre friends. Okay. From surrogate to governance. The Vice President elect will play an outsized role. I think thats certainly what republicans hope because you know, they just think hes somebody who knows washington, knows the kind of details of the conversation, and that theyve kind of begin a little further down the road than they would with donald trump. So if the Affordable Care act is one thing on the to do list in these first 100 days, the Supreme Court figures to be very high on that list. Where do things stand . Well i mean, Donald Trumps put out his list and the people are going to come from that list. The one thing in the Affordable Care act not only do democrats want to defend it, there are parts of the bill republicans want to keep. The provisions that say you get to keep your plan excuse me, the provisions that said you cant be denied access. The provisions that say that in a community the pricing has to be the same for every age. Those are really popular. But theyre also expensive. How do you offer something that keeps the good stuff but takes out the bad is a real challenge. Supreme court will be a fight right away because of course the ideological shape are the entire Supreme Court hinges on this next person. The 44 tie. The next person will make it a conservative court. Thats the reason democrats, which need a reason to rally, will rally around the opposition. John, thank you so much. And tomorrow well have the first interview since the election with defense secretary ash carter. Well get his thoughts on the tran
