The winner's margin of victory also matters. If it's a squeaker, that will make the lessons learned for both parties much murkier.

Mara Liasson

Mara Liasson
Republicans like Trent Lott, saying [Donald] Trump would be more flexible [then Ted Cruz].
Mara Liasson
Yes, the presidential race is very close, and some public polls show it getting closer as we go into the final hours, but in one sense it's actually been stable for months.
Mara Liasson
If [Hillary] Clinton wins, history will also be made: She would be the first female U.S. president, of course, but also the only candidate in the modern era, other than George H.W. Bush, who managed to follow a two-term president of her own party.
Mara Liasson
If [Donald] Trump loses narrowly, it will make it much harder for the GOP to unify. Under that scenario, the Trumpists are likely to argue that the election was lost because the Republican establishment failed to rally around the choice their own voters made.
