How the hell did he win?

Perhaps you need to sober up and check your peripheries more? Trump knows unless you have gone out of your way by a long shot to reach out.
It's no wonder so many got behind someone obviously targeted as the scorn of many. Turns out 10- 15% truly loud obnoxious nobility classed were all that threatened our democracy.
Otherwise the lies were viral bought and paid for news by all. How we let it steer our lives and lost our minds over it all, a damn shame.
Life doesn't have to be about news because even FOX and RT along with independent views can be the great deception. It's an agenda driven system and here's the kicker. It's based on s#!t info half the time.
Be a friend of democracy not another dictator within a a soon to be dictator world. Stop peering thru darkened shrouded eyes for what evil lurks in all and your life.
Be a friend of democracy, befriend yourself and stop the news to stop lt All

if you complain about a broken political system you're an anti American pos

What company do you work for you anti government anti Americans, so I know what pair of shoes to burn

What is more dangerous, is the results. They have proven they can take the worst candidates and people can be infuenced to vote against their own best interests with emotional manipulation.
...

Because "nobody would ever think of voting differently than the high and almighty left"...riiight?

This is part of what's wrong with the left. You all, as a majority think exactly like this. You, as a majority of the left, think that you know what's best for everyone else... When people go against your vote, the left turns to illegal and unconstitutional tactics, because you, as a majority of the left think that "you know what's best for everyone else."

Get off your high horse mentality and accept the fact that millions of Americans and legal residents disagree with you...

That same attitude is what gave rise to Trump.

The rural and midwest is sick of smug urban liberalism showing open disdain for us. "Hicks", "bubba", "backwoods", "yokel".....

And the fact the LEFT was really cocky. And what happens when you get really cocky? You get owned.

No mystery. She ditched her base - workers and unions, instead she went 100% identity politics elevating aliens, minorities, and deviants which are topics hated by working people. To lose with the entire media and government agencies working for her night and day was a miracle, and a triumph for working folks.

a reply to: ElectricUniverse

True. What is clear is that the left together with their tame media and government agencies, regard it as self evident that they have a license to lie in public forums, buy influence and media and kill if necessary if they can not win by constitutional means. Why have they such a license? Because they are so self evidently right on every issue and no alternative can be discussed. it must be suppressed. Same thing emerging in the E.C.

Some interesting stats from the 2016 election that shows you how Trump won blue states. In Michaigan for example he only won by just over 10K votes, yet over 87K of the voters left the presidential spot blank in that state, most voting down the rest of the ticket democrat. They hated both candidates so much they couldn’t vote for either, these voters would have put MI into the Blue if Bernie was on the ticket. The Democrats totally ignored their grass roots enthusiasm during the primary, and paid the ultimate price, they lost their blue states. That’s how Trump won.

a reply to: notsure1

Just admit you underestimated Trump! Not only did Blue states turn Red, but the Dems lost voters to Trump for reasons the Dems still haven't figured out, apparently.

a reply to: notsure1

Why don't you go back to attacking statues instead of good people that serve our country? He won fair and square. Whining about it isn't going to change anything.

Now apply that same logic to what the right is currently doing.

CNN and the rest are a group of corporate's, trapped in a bubble, with a microphone and a TV. They are revealing to the world "their" reality, that they create, just hoping stupid people will bite. Most in the US are not so fooled....they just don't have a platform or a voice, compared to the Mainstream Media. All of them are CIA Assets. The people have more power than they know.

a reply to: IlluminatiTechnician

It is true, that actions speak louder than words. Like Kapernick taking a knee for a cause, a cause he doesn't seem to pursue outside of work... that cause he supposedly represented to the public but didn't show action for. So far Trump has fulfilled many campaign promises, at least more than I've seen by others before him. Back in the 90's I voted for BJ Clinton partly because he ran against NAFTA in his campaign. But, 6 months in he reversed himself and voted for it. I never forgave him for turning his back on his base for that. I had even supported him during the Monica Hummer Era...what a mistake!

From the moment Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency, there wasn't a single doubt in my mind that he would win it. Despite his "flaws" and his personal controversial style, despite the fact that I thought he was the least politically savvy person, despite the fact that he is a narcissistic personality, none of these things seem to matter.

Why did I think he would win?
Well, for one he was evidently the lesser evil choice, and Hillary would have been a very bad one. Second, I believe the majority of voters hoped his financial "expertise", combined with his radical statements and style, would eventually cause everyone to prosper under his rule. Besides, it wasn't if his predecessors did such a wonderful job. That cabal and their evil deeds were about to be exposed, and people needed a change.
But the main reason(s) would be a very deep gut feeling that Trump is the next step in an elaborate larger agenda. I don't know why, but what first and foremost came to mind, was a connection to one of Nostra Damus's quatrains I read long ago, involving a character who would be regarded as some sort of savior, but who will make a 180-degree turn once the time is ripe for him to show his true colors. I truly expected that he would change things to a degree that it would make America truly great again. Regardless of his unorthodox approach.

So far, he didn't disappoint....

a reply to: 2Faced

Interested what quatrain that was?

a reply to: thepixelpusher

I will look it up in my personal copy, but I'm afraid it was somewhere else. One thing that also had a prominent place in the quatrain, and didn't make sense in Trump's case, was mention of a "Blue turban". Perhaps that will give you an idea of which particular quatrain it was. But I will now look it up right now...

Here's something I was able to find on the internet after a quick google: Nostra Damus and the Blue Turban

How did he win?

People voted for him. That's how it works. Whoever gets the most electoral votes wins.

Why did he win?

Because, as has already been said, I don't want no self-righteous, corrupt-to-the-core, professional politician deciding what I can and can't say, think, and do within the law. That's what Obama was, and what Hillary would have been. And the reactions of the losing side since have only steadied my resolve that I voted correctly... and that includes this thread.

If there is ever to be another President not from the GOP, it will come after one of three things: either the Democratic Party shuts their screaming banshee holes and listens to what I, the American voter, wants, another party emerges that listens to the people, or the GOP gets as bad as the DNC is now. No howling at the moon will make any difference. No twisting the sins of one onto another will make a difference. No crying to the spirits of the socialist agenda will make any difference. Your champion lost; my champion won; now put on thy big boy pants and accept you don't always get your way.

Or keep showing people what a better choice Trump was. Your choice.

Just as I thought, my copy handles predictions between 1992 and 2001. But I'm sure the Interwebz will provide.
