"This is the worst situation that Democrats have been in in my entire life. Not only have they lost the Presidency, both houses of Congress, Trump immediately gets to name a Supreme Court Justice. It's the biggest wipeout I've ever seen," says Thomas Frank author of the book Listen, Liberal.

Is it time for the Democratic Party to reassess what it stands for and where it wants to go?

Thomas Frank and Jon Sopel discuss how the Democratic Party have lost touch with their roots, the errors Clinton and Obama made, and they speculate how Bernie Sanders would have fared in the US Election had he had been a Presidential candidate.

Speaking from Youngstown, Ohio, Karen George, a long-time Democrat who switched to the Republican party after Bill Clinton's administration, describes how she's feeling positive about the election of Donald Trump, "This is the first time I'm feeling very excited about a President," she says.
