No one was more surprised than me when Donald Trump pulled off the greatest electoral upset since Truman beat Dewey. (Except maybe these folks.) But from this point on, all the clichés are basically true: He’s our next president. Every American should pray for him and hope he’s successful.

From my perspective, my concerns about Trump were always more characterological than policy-based. To my mind, whatever the policy-upside of a President Trump wasn’t worth rolling the dice because of how his character would influence the outcome. But dice have been cast. If Trump governs as a conservative–appointing super-classy, conservative judges, repealing and replacing Obamacare, working to stop illegal immigration–the next four years will be fine. Great (again) even!
