Obama will get his roasting after he dies.
Read here——the rank stupidity that was Obama.
In February 2016, then-President Obama said Donald Trump would not be elected president. Obama said he believed the American people would not choose Trump for the “serious job.......that the presidency needs more than headlines. “
These remarks were made at the Asean economic summit in California during the 2016 Republican primaries. Obama said, “I continue to believe that Mr Trump will not be president”.
Donald Trump won the 2016 election.......besting the “favorite”....Hillary.
Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election by flipping key Rust Belt states, securing a decisive Electoral College victory despite losing the popular vote. His win was driven by strong appeal to white working-class voters, a desire for change over stability, and a focused campaign on immigration and trade that resonated with voters seeking disruption, an NPR article notes.
Key factors contributing to the outcome included:
<><>Electoral College Strategy: Trump maximized his impact in smaller-population states and key swing states, overcoming the national popular vote disadvantage, The Conversation reports.
<><>Rust Belt and Working-Class Appeal: Trump flipped states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, gaining significant support from white, working-class voters, notes this NPR article.
<><>Desire for Change: Voters were looking for significant change, and Clinton was perceived as representing a continuation of the status quo, according to a Washington Post analysis.
<><>The FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s private email server, which resurfaced late in the campaign, heavily damaged her reputation and created a perception of dishonesty, YouTube notes.
<><>Trump received extensive media attention, and his campaign successfully focused on negative narratives about Clinton.
<><>Conversely, Clinton struggled with a less effective campaign message and lower enthusiasm among key demographics, saya the Shorenstein Center report.
<><>Low o Enthusiasm for Hillary prevailed.
<><>: Clinton underperformed among key Democratic demographics, including African American and young voters, which reduced her overall vote tally in crucial areas.
Ultimately, the 2016 election saw a combination of a highly motivated base for Trump and a failure by the Clinton campaign to secure necessary turnout in critical regions, as discussed in a BBC article.
