>> reporter: post-election emotions have triggered groups like this one in new york, where subway riders write up post-its proclaiming their love or hate for trump. while others across the country are going online with hashtag ptsd tweets. >> i think there's something very fundamental about what he said that makes people feel like when he gets into power what's this guy going to do? >> reporter: robert cohen say professor of political science at new york university. >> you never hear about students protesting a president because president or president-elect. that's never happened before. if you went to one of these demonstrations, you'd find a diversity of concerns because it's a diverse coalition of people who he's offended and alienated. >> reporter: scott, when i asked protesters how long they expect to continue, they said they'll do so until mr. trump walks back on his language he's used in the past to describe certain groups. >> demarco morgan in manha ttan usfor . demarco, thank you. the cbs overnight news will be

pedestrians don't come with airbags. some of what president-elect trump promised to do he can do with his own pen. deporting illegal immigrants, for example. but other priorities such as repealing obamacare will require congress. like president obama eight years ago, the people who put him in office have great and here's mark strassmann. >> i had the best night's sleep i had after it was over with but -- >> reporter: we sat down with three trump voters at the minute grill, where diners have chewed over politics since 1963. >> if donald duck had been running against hillary, i would have voted for donald duck. >> reporter: harold martin is retired navy. joe may is a soybean farmer. they're both lifelong democrats. not this year.

great again? >> by helping the economy. putting more money in here. i mean, money -- the money is everything. >> reporter: was that your big issue, jobs? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: trump's message of america in decline resonated in dublin, georgia, population 16,000. this mid-point between atlanta and savannah was once a manufacturing hub. on election night america's rural areas voted overwhelmingly for trump. urban areas were clinton vote. the trump vote in dublin's laurens county mirrored much of rural america. he won almost 2-1. >> if i could be anybody, i'd want to be donald trump. >> reporter: lance hooks is a 39-year-old registered republican. hooks remembers when trump campaigned in rural georgia back in february. >> he was smart enough to come rally his base. and you know what his base was? it was the working-class

electoral vote he got. >> reporter: what hit you when you looked at that electoral map? >> trump had better coverage than verizon. >> reporter: hundreds of people here work in three foreign-owned factories. scott, trump won counties like this one because many working-class americans believe, despite trump's anti-free trade stance, that this country needs a ceo. >> about 60 million of them. mark strassmann, thank you very much. the trump election, however, sent shivers through mexico's days. mexico's foreign minister said today that she is willing to modernize the north american free trade agreement, nafta, but not renegotiate it. manuel bojorquez is in mexico city. >> reporter: in this working-class neighborhood some fear the fevgz a trump administration. >> that your life will change. why? "abecause mexico's economy is so

diaz. adrian adame's take is stronger. >> he is racist. he just talks about hating people. >> reporter: aside from insulting national pride, trump has threatened to tear up the trade agreement between the u.s. and mexico, putting millions of jobs at risk. he has also vowed to build a giant border wall and make mexico pay for it. clawsia ruiz-massieu is mexico's foreign minister. >> we would not consider paying for any wall that puts barriers between our integration and our competitiveness. >> but i is mexico ready to fight back? >> well, mexico is ready to protect our people, but we are also ready to work with the next american administration. >> reporter: mexican senator armando rios piter isn't taking any chances. he's drafted a law that would stop mexico from using public funds to pay for a border wall. he also said mexico could retaliate by revising security agreements with the u.s.

functioning right now have a lot to do with the decisions that have been taken in terms of protecting the united states. >> it sounds almost like a threat, some would say. >> no. the threat is what trump is doing. >> reporter: the nation's central bank believes mexico's economy is strong enough to weather through the peso's drastic drop. but scott, today it remains at its lowest level in more than two decades. >> manuel bojorquez in the mexican capital. manuel, thanks. some w'v mexico and central america are now agonizing over their future. carter evans has that. >> reporter: immigrants are determined to keep president-elect trump from following through on his campaign threat to deport millions, like yamilex rustriam. >> if i get deported the day after tomorrow, i have nowhere to go. i have nowhere -- i obviously have family, but i would feel lost. >> reporter: she's afraid her family will be ripped apart, as

immigrants en masse. >> it's a tough feeling, not to know the person that was your father. this is my father. >> reporter: former u.s. congressman esteban torres's father was one of an estimated 2 million immigrants who were shipped out of the country as part of a government campaign to save american jobs during the great depression. it was called "mexican repatriation." >> they just rounded them all up. shipped them back to their home country. >> reporter: just 3 years old, torres was allowed to stay in the u.s. with his mother because he was born here. but roughly 60% of those sent across the border were american-born children. >> it was rough. i remember living in shacks, you know. my mother couldn't afford anything better. >> reporter: and it all happened again in the '50s during "operation wetback" when another quarter million immigrants were

hinojosa-ojea. >> it's a really dark part of u.s. history. these round-ups did capture -- break up families that have consequences even today. >> reporter: torres never saw his father again. >> it left me with a taste of how cruel authorities can be. >> reporter: he just hopes president trump doesn't repeat history. carter evans, cbs news, los angeles. well, today we caught a glimpse of the candidate who won election, and from the looks of it not running for president is good for the soul. a hiker, margot gershener, and her daughter phoebe ran into secretary clinton in the woods near her home in chappaqua, new york. god only knows how many times clinton smiled for the cameras on the campaign. but this one seems to be just for her. still ahead, meet the incoming

>> reporter: melania trump will make history when she becomes first lady. the only one to grow up in a communist nation, the former yugoslavia, and only the second born abroad in nearly 200 years. the former fashion model, who speaks five languages, will soon have to decide how to use her new platform, according to anita mcbride, who served laura bush. >> i think that she's given us a little bit of a hint of what she thinks she would like to work sxorngs that is the issue of social media with young fragile. >> reporter: mrs. trump gave only two major speeches during the campaign and one, her convention address, plagiarized from mrs. obama's 2008 speech. she'll follow the high-profile first lady, who championed healthy eating and did star turns on late-night television. >> it's a position description that gets rewritten with each person. and we will adapt to it. the white house will adapt to its new occupant and the occupants will adapt to the

americans. >> reporter: one thing in common -- both will have raised young children in the white house. 10-year-old barron trump will be the youngest boy in the executive mansion since jfk jr. white house spokesman josh earnest. >> mrs. obama has talked before publicly about the stresses and anxieties of moving to a new place, living inside a fish bowl, living inside a museum, and raising her family there. and i'm sure that mrs. t anxieties. >> reporter: and mr. trump's children from his first wife are among his closest advisers, especially daughter ivanka, who has championed a proposal for paid family leave. scott, she is expected to have a key role. >> margaret brennan at the white house for us tonight. margaret, thank you. up next, wall street's reaction

curator chris bensch. >> whatever your age you are sent back in time. your own childhood, your grandparents'. and it's great to discover the ways that toys, dolls, games connect all of us. >> reporter: there are more than 15,000 toys on display, childhood favorites like barbie, monopoly, and silly putty. >> silly putty was not a toy at all at the start. it was going to be a rubber replacement in world war ii when there was a shortage of raw materials. >> reporter: toys are of their unique contributions to american history. at today's 19th annual toy hall of fame the swing -- yes, like the one your kid sees every day at the playground -- the role-playing "dungeons & dragons" and fisher-price's the little people made the cut. little people finally made their way in after being a finalist seven times.

susan lucci of the toy world. >> if you're not a soap opera watcher, you might not know how many times susan lucci was dissed by the emmys in not getting an emmy award. i also think in a year that the chicago cubs finally won a world series it's great that fisher-price little people get into the national toy hall of fame. >> get in the hole! >> reporter: enduring play things that stand the time. >> i'm touching that bubble. it's not popping. >> reporter: jericka duncan, cbs news, rochester, new york. and that's the overnight news for this friday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us a little bit later for the morning news and be sure not to miss "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new

this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm elaine quijano. donald trump landed in the nation's capital for the first time as president-elect. he arrived on his private jet and spent the day with leaders of the washington establishment. nearly all of whom were opposed to his candidacy. mr. trump met with president obama at the white house. he sat down with paul ryan and the republican leadership on capitol hill. and through it all struck what some might say was a very untrump-like conciliatory tone. major garrett begins our coverage. >> reporter: water cannons saluted president-elect donald trump today as his jet prepared to take off for washington.

oval office. in their first ever meeting the two spent 90 minutes alone discussing foreign and domestic policy and the logistics of handing over power. >> i believe that it is important for all of us, regardless of party and regardless of political preferences, to now come together, work together to deal with the many challenges that we face. >> reporter: mr. trump echoed those sentiments. >> i very much look forward to it was a great honor being with you, and i look forward to being with you many, many more times in the future. >> reporter: as reporters were ushered out, trump complimented his long-time foe. >> very, very good man. >> thank you, guys. appreciate you. >> reporter: the oval office civility bore no relationship to the campaign trail. >> our president is incompetent. >> on the economy donald trump is uniquely unqualified to be our chief executive.

>> the president's views haven't changed. he stands by what he said on the campaign trail. but the american people decided. the election is over. >> reporter: animosity between the two has simmered since mr. trump stoked rumors that the president was not born in the u.s. but the president has promised a smooth transition, and those efforts were on display today. white house chief of staff denis mcdonough was seen walking with mr. trump's son-in-law and trusted adviser, jared kushner. kushner cannot serve in the white house due to nepotism and trump's campaign ceo, is under consideration for chief of staff. that appointment should he get it, would send a distinctly anti-establishment signal to all of washington, something that could not be said of the other person vying for the chief of staff position, rnc chairman reince priebus. nancy cordes now with the president-elect's meeting with the gop's congressional leadership. >> let me just say how excited

>> reporter: a pragmatic house speaker tabled months of animosity today, giving mr. trump a tour of where he'll be inaugurated and even employing mr. trump's campaign knotto. >> we're now talking about how we're going to hit the ground running to make sure we're going to get this country turned around and make america great again. >> reporter: mr. ugh trump said he would be doing "spectacular things" with ryan and senate leader mitch mcconnell. >> whether it's health care or immigration. so many different things. >> reporter: during the race both ryan and nominee. >> i regret those comments that he made. >> he uttered a series of outrageous and unacceptable statements overt last week. >> reporter: their new detente is a fragile one. trump wants to build a border wall. ryan doesn't. and deflected a question about it today. >> we're not going to do a press conference here. >> reporter: but they do agree on dismantling obamacare. right away. >> they can start as soon as january. they can start as soon as the spring. >> reporter: former gop senate aid christopher condeluci says

the law first then debate how to replace it. >> congressional republicans as well as the trump administration will pursue some sort of transition period. is it one year? is it two years? that reminutes to be seen. but immediately people aren't going to lose their insurance. >> reporter: democrats picked up a few seats in the house and senate but not enough to block repeal. senator elizabeth warren told a union group today she is gearing up for a new reality. >> we will stand up to big ottry. no compromises ever. [ applause ] whether donald trump sits in a glass tower or sits in the white house, we will not give an inch on this. not now, not ever. >> reporter: her colleague bernie sanders argued democrats need to do some self-reflection now as well, tweeting this evening that the party needs to be "more focused on grassroots america than wealthy people attending cocktail parties." candidates who lose the

hillary clinton continued that tradition. chip reid has a look back at some recent candidates who fell short of the big prize. >> you know there's a long tradition in america of losing presidential candidates, accepting their defeats graciously, but that doesn't mean the rejection is any easier to swallow. it was not the speech hillary clinton thought she would give the morning after the election. >> this loss hurts. but please, never stop believing >> reporter: clinton failed to bust through the proverbial glass ceiling again. just like in 2008 when she lost the nomination fight to barack obama. >> although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you it's got about 18 million cracks in it. >> in a lot of ways these losses are a little death for people.

historian doris kearns goodwin says losing candidates can be consumed by disappointment and second-guessing. >> they put their entire reputation on the line for one single night. and all that work may end up with a loss that will be seen in not only this country but around the world. >> reporter: mitt romney fully expected to beat president obama in 2012. >> i so wish that i had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction. >> reporter: days after his loss he was photographed at a gas station looking disheveled and was roundly >> i want conservatives to win. >> reporter: he and his wife, ann, appeared on "cbs this morning" one year later to reflect on his campaign. >> it was a fabulous experience. i loved it. look at that. >> reporter: john mccain was vanquished by mr. obama in 2008. >> we fought as hard as we could. and though we fell short the failure is mine, not yours. >> reporter: mccain's campaign

stride because the result was widely expected. >> i don't think you ever get over losing a presidential campaign. he moved right on. he was a sitting senator. although i'm sure there were days when he looked on the tv screen and saw the president and said i can do a better job than he can. >> reporter: clinton now shares a dubious distinction with al gore. in 2000 he also won the popular vote but lost in the electoral college. >> as for what i'll do next, i don't know the answer to that one yet. >> reporter: a defeated gore grew a beard, wrote books, and launched a failed cable network only to sell it for millions, but never ran for public office again. he spoke to charlie rose in 2007. >> i acknowledged earlier i don't think i'm very good at politics, charlie. and i think that -- i think that -- i mean, i'm willing to bear my responsibility for not being more effective as a communicator. >> reporter: michael dukakis has said being able to go back to his job as governor of

after his private meeting with president obama, president-elect donald trump was introduced to the white house press corps. how'd that go? have a look. >> ready? okay. well, i just had the opportunity to have an excellent conversation with president-el it was wide-ranging. we talked about some of the organizational issues in setting up the white house. we talked about foreign policy. we talked about domestic policy. and as i said last night, my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our president-elect is

emphasize to you, mr. president-elect, that we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you succeed then the country succeeds. please. >> well, thank you very much, president obama. this was a meeting that was going to last for maybe 10 or 15 minutes, and we were just going to get to know each other. we had never met each other. i have great respect. the hour and a half. and it could have as far as i'm concerned, could have gone on for a lot longer. we really -- we discussed a lot of different situations, some wonderful and some difficulties. i very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel. he's explained some of the

the really great things that have been achieved. so mr. president, it was a great honor being with you. and i look forward to being with you many, many more times in the future. >> thank you. thank you, everybody. we're not -- we are not going to be taking any questions. thank you, guys. thank you. here's a good rule. don't answer the questions when they just start yelling. come on, guys. all assembled s have but you've cleaned off all the baked-on business from meals past with easy-off, so the only thing they see is that big, beautiful bird.

map? >> trump had better coverage than verizon. >> reporter: hundreds of people here work in three foreign-owned factories. scott, trump won counties like this one because many working-class americans believe, despite trump's anti-free trade stance, that this country needs a ceo. >> about 60 million of them. mark strassmann, thank you very much. the trump election, however, sent shivers through mexico's economy. the peso dropped 12% in two days. mexico's foreign minister said today that she is willing to modernize the north american free trade agreement, nafta, but not renegotiate it. manuel bojorquez is in mexico city. >> reporter: in this working-class neighborhood some fear the effects of a trump administration. >> that your life will change. why? >> reporter: "because mexico's

family will be ripped apart, as so many were the last two times the u.s. government forced out immigrants en masse. >> it's a tough feeling, not to know the person that was your father. this is my father. >> reporter: former u.s. congressman esteban torres's father was one of an estimated 2 million immigrants who were shipped out of the country as part of a government campaign to save american jobs during the great depression. it was called "mexican repatriation." >> they just rounded them all up. >> round t shipped them back to their home country. >> reporter: just 3 years old, torres was allowed to stay in the u.s. with his mother because he was born here. but roughly 60% of those sent across the border were american-born children. >> it was rough. i remember living in shacks, you know. my mother couldn't afford anything better. >> reporter: and it all happened again in the '50s during "operation wetback" when another quarter million immigrants were
