Yes it's true that Trump's tweets, exciting speeches, and ability to work the media assisted him in the primary and general election, but he never would have won the primary if he supported amnesty and wasn't for ending illegal immigration. The Establishment and the media don't mention this when discussing Trump's win. I wouldn't have supported him despite him taken on the Establishment if he was lax on immigration. Trump knew this when he spoke at CPAC in 2013 and warned the Republicans against passing amnesty. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/15/cpac-2013-donald-trump-immigration-reform-suicide-/
I think you are completely correct.
Immigration may have been the biggest issue, but Trump showed an ability and a willingness to champion issues with supermajority appeal, that establishment considered taboo.
Immigration, Second Amendment, political corruption, Iran deal, and trade deal cheating were all such issues.
Treat yourself to a MAGA brand new book co authored by one of our own, LS.
Enjoy reading about how Trump defeated the lying mediots and the Clinton/Obama thugs.
A great read for this great week. Forget the negative bs and get this new book on Kindle.
How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution
By Joel Pollak and Larry Schweikart
Kindle Edition
Read what really happened last year, with these two great writers.
For those of us, who endured all of the fake news and lies from both sides of our political nation about Trump. LS was a continuing source of comfort when the mediots lied about Trump with fake news or came out their endless fake polls showing Clinton winning.
If you really want to know How Trump Won, get this great book on Kindle or print.
I just got it on Kindle. You can try a chapter or so for free. I ordered the full book, before I finished the sample.

Thanks to Larry and Joel for a great book!
MAGA!
“Trump ... never would have won the primary if he supported amnesty and wasn’t for ending illegal immigration.”
I agree wholeheartedly.
That was my reason. I had others, of course, but in the end, only this one mattered
YOu are correct.
The public is tired of seeing illegal aliens treated as “better than you” to real Americans.
The can live at taxpayer expense, and commit nearly all manner of crime and face almost zero consequence.
The pubic is tired of the sodomites too.
We have had a gangster government with their boot on our throats, threatening us if we dare to question their authority.
No he won because of the illegal aliens...
Trump loves immigration...
He did call for a ban on Muslim immigration after San Bernardino.
Kid, Trump knows the difference between immigration and Moslems invading our country to do us harm...
I agree.
It was THE issue that separated him from the pack in the primary and was why the establishment went after him so hard, including funding Egg McMuffin as a last ditch effort.
In every election since the last amnesty, the GOP has only nominated amnesty candidates, effectively blocking the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
Both parties have been committed to a 30 year plan of non-enforcement of our laws and borders.
You’re splitting hairs.
Globalism and trade agreements were an equally huge issue in these “Blue Wall” states he took away from Hillary.
Why Trump won
1) illegal immigration
2) Jobs
3) Regulations & ACA
4)Safety from Muzzie attacks inside the USA and
outside(global)
Trump wasn’t scared off by the latino’s lame lament
about a candidate not being able to win if he didn’t suck-up to the latino vote. ...... (votes of people plotting to overthrow our govt).
Nice summation.
No kid I know the difference between illegal aliens and immigrants...
However for some reason you don’t seem to want to knowledge there is a difference...
You were the one who chose the title of this “vanity”
Meanwhile Trump won because of illegal aliens, not immigrants..
Illegal aliens have nothing to do with immigration...
Illegal aliens don’t immigrant...
Let me help you...
“Donald Trump won because of the Illegal Aliens (Vanity)”
Yet, I have to think this little contrived "bit" delivered the coupe de grace
to Hillary's aspirations. So naked in its sophistry, so fundamentally false,
it surely had voters rushing to the Trump camp.
CAUTION: prolonged viewing causes violent retching.
“Trump showed an ability and a willingness to champion issues with supermajority appeal, that establishment considered taboo: Immigration, Second Amendment, political corruption, Iran deal, and trade deal cheating were all such issues.”
Of course. The Establishment in D C are nothing but bought-and-paid-for prostitutes. Bought off by lobbyists. The real war hasn’t yet started. I expect Trump to prevail, as he is much smarter than McConnell & Ryan, and FAR more shrewd.
I told you that he called for a ban on Muslims illegal or legal. You don’t know what our legal immigration laws state. Illegal immigration is part of immigration.
