The mood was upbeat, even jubilant, as last night’s grand celebration of American democracy – the traditional U.S. Election Night Party hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Hungary at the Corinthia Hotel Budapest – stretched into the morning hours. Fueled by burgers, pizza, and whiskey, a worldly crowd joked as the ballot results began arriving soon after midnight. According to a poll, over 60% of the partygoers supported Hillary Clinton; about 10% backed Donald J. Trump. The party ended at 4am, but the ballroom was almost empty long before then; nobody seemed to expect the outcome.
