For many in this country, perhaps even the majority (Hillary Clinton could still win the popular vote), the result is one of shock, anger, and fear. On the other side are people who bucked the odds, all the conventional wisdom, and supported their candidate to an extraordinary win.

But the nation’s newspapers are going try to help us all understand the magnitude and weight of Trump’s win, and that starts with their front pages.
