Anyone who is an honest and truthful conservative will admit that none other than Donald Trump would have beaten Hillary Clinton. None of them. Only Trump had the brass set necessary to go up against the world and win.
I would add that Trump also benefitted from a highly enthused Internet army of supporters. People who collectively were clever enough to flood social media with pro-Trump memes and bury Hillary.
They were ferreting out Hillary’s Correct the Record (CTR) operatives and deftly used Reddit, 4chan, Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms to propel Trump’s message. They even hijacked many of Hillary’s campaign hashtags and used them to her. Diamond and Silk were incredible on Youtube.
Social media allowed Trump to completely bypass the media. Obama may have started using it in 2008, but Trump wrote the book on it.
