He literally said "how stupid are the people of Iowa?" in a speech, yet he still won Iowa.

He was on tape saying he grabbed women and it still barely slowed him down.

So, uhm... why?

People voted for a change. They were tired of the career politicians and the establishment. They also saw how embarrassing many on the left behaved throughout the whole ordeal and even the rioting and lawless behavior under Obama.

TLDR; Gerry Mandering, Berners voting for Trump, Electoral College

States are divided into districts at a whim, zigzagging across streets and changing every year.
So you could for example, separate people voting for prunes from people voting from oranges.
If you do this arbitrarily enough, you can make it look like 8 out of 10 districts voted for oranges when 600 out of 1000 people voted for prunes.

Then the DNC chose the less popular candidate as their front runner; souring a majority of the party into not voting or even revenge voting.

Then the Electoral College, the only votes that actually matter, are supposed to follow the vote of 8 out of 10 districts. Last year, a staggering 14 members threw away their votes on the third party, most of which were supposed to vote for Hillary. Had they followed though, it may have been close enough to trigger a recount.

Edit: Events are prolly out of order, fuck it.

Gerrymandering had nothing to do with the presidential election. Those districts are for congressional elections.

Obviously a huge part of it is the hatred for Hillary.

But also he somehow was able to break the union grip on blue collar workers in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. That's a bloc that usually votes democrat because their union tells them to, but they get all giddy when you start talking about TAKING AMERICA BACK from Mexicans and stuff like that. Call republicans racist all you want, but the biggest racists I've ever known were the union democrats... until they saw Trump and didn't care what party he represented, he was a big racist so they couldn't resist.

That.

He won because of gerrymandering during the previous presidency. You know, how every president is decided.

How he won the Republican nomination is a different story.

He was on tape saying he grabbed women and it still barely slowed him down.

So, uhm... why?

Because it was between him, or a corrupt piece of fucking human garbage that should have been dealt with years ago. The choice is pretty obvious, we got the better of the two.

It was only caught selling weapons grade uranium for personal gain, it only defended a child rapist and laughed at the poor child after the fact, it only got people killed in bengazi, it only got paid millions upon millions by foreign governments to give speeches...I mean, seriously. Lol. At least Trump is a human being, not a monstrosity.

The sad part is the left narrative to destroy Trump is only hurting them. If they were smart they would admit Hillary was garbage human and Trump is president. At the rate they are going Trump will likely win again in 2020 because they haven't change the tactics that made Trump look so good to begin with.

The in-your-face, my-way-or-the-highway liberals who pushed their PC agenda on everybody, Censored our history and language and villainized all white people. There was blm threatening to burn the country down if they didn't get their way.

There is the whole immigration thing and the fact that those who didn't oppose it have no earthly idea what that influx of immigration would do to our economy. Then, we can't forget comerade bernie.

I realize that many democrats feel misrepresented by this perversion of their platform, but they really set up all the pieces on the game board and trump just had to basically acknowledge the frustrations of the people who are worked to the bone and robbed of what they earn. It's a new day.
