So you are only 3 of 5 for popular vote?Because he greatly conveyed a vision, and Clinton didn't. That's mostly how I have correctly guessed every U.S. presidential election since 2000.With or without Fox news I don't think it is that people were uninformed.
There was an enormous discontent with the political establishment. I find it curious that people here rarely or never mention that as the major cause of Trumps success.
Many political outsiders have tried to get into US politics with little success. Trump however destroyed first the other republicans and then the democrats. An obnoxious 70 yo old man with no political experience destroyed them all.
He is skillful manipulator who was able to cleverly tap into that discontent, yet so many people are still trying to blame Russia or fox news.
Trump didn't have shit for vision. He said shit about things that a lot of people loved to hear. Talked about a health care plan that never existed. Talked about an ISIS plan that never existed. And then he said he'd bring back the dinosaurs and that put him over because enough people believed it. And since then, he has accomplished very little.
