Not surprised. I’ve been predicting Trump would win for months because people in the liberal bubble underestimated how much average Americans dislike and distrust Hillary Clinton. She has a handful of willfully blind supporters, but she never got over about 47% in any poll. I used to point out that she’s always touted as the inevitable winner until voters have any other choice. She was the inevitable President in 2008 until voters had a choice of a far-left, totally inexperienced, African-American community organizer from Chicago named Hussein. And they said, “Eh, he has to be better than Hillary.”
Then in 2016, she was the inevitable President until voters had a choice of a 73-year-old socialist with zero executive experience who sounded like Larry David, and they said, “Eh, he has to be better than Hillary.” She beat him only by stacking the deck, then realized her only shot was to make her opponent look even worse than her. So she and her campaign operatives and the media (but I repeat myself) worked 24/7 to depict a socially-liberal, former Democrat real estate magnate from Manhattan as the love child of Hitler and David Duke. But it proved impossible to make him look worse than her. They scared a lot of people into hating and fearing him, but in the end, voters still said, “Eh, even if he is the next Hitler, he still has to be better than Hillary.”
I always thought that if the only alternative to Hillary were a rabid junkyard dog, voters would ask, “How advanced is the case of rabies?”
Naw. They’d ask who’s the VP pick?
The MSM is the number one reason Trump won. Period.
Americans have been blatantly lied to, had degenerate agendas forced down our throats, and generally been treated like serfs by the MSM and establishment for at least the past 20 years.
If the MSM had been as fair to Trump as they were to Hillary, Hillary would have won. People saw them drag Trump through the mud for over a year straight (while inadvertently giving him millions of dollars in free publicity and campaigning) while propping up Clinton. Very few trust the MSM anymore. So the people picked the one the MSM obviously unfairly targeted for OVER A YEAR. Because we know whatever is good for them is bad for us and vice versa. I find it highly amusing and ironic. Not only has the MSM lost a ton of influence this past year (maybe not recoverable without a huge 180 in their bias and propaganda) but they cost their dearest progressive dream leader and all her communist minions one of the most pivotal elections in DECADES, and not just the White House. We have majority in the House and Senate, we have 2/3rds of all the states, and I think only 4 out of 50 have a majority democrat congress. During the next 4 years Trump is also GUARANTEED at LEAST one supreme court pick (high chance of two) and maybe even 3 if he is re-elected in 2020, which I think is likely as he’s already showing great leadership skills and no backing off of campaign promises. The progressives should be sad/scared/depressed/angry/whatever, because their agenda has been vaporized. It will take decades for the left to recover from 2016.
Trump won because of the bias. PERIOD.
I don’t know anyone under 60 years old who even registered or voted. The younger they are the less likely to vote. None of my adult kids or their spouses vote, they don’t eben register. I voted for Nixon, my first election, back then you had to be 21 years old. I have always voted. They interviewed a lot of the protesters and none of them voted, or registered to vote....
I consider it quite realistic to say that it is nearly impossible for a sound minded person to name a possible president who could logically be expected to be WORSE than Hillary Clinton as POTUS.
