Hillary's campaign was her own fault and that was obviously the biggest factor in Trump's victory. If she wasn't cocky and actually worked on having a cohesive platform, she would have won. Trump and Hillary were the two most unlikable candidates in history. It should have been an easy victory for anyone, but it just so happened it was Hillary. That's just dumb luck, not smarts.That's not how he won..... it did garner the attention of trolls and plenty of memes. He won strategically, he didn't waste his time on states that he knew he would lose and went after the swing States, which in the end after 8 years of the Obama administration people felt that they collectively were going nowhere so they bought in to Trump knowing Hillary would be a rehash of Obama. Trump used this to his advantage while Hillary remained cocky, hell look at the premature celebration she was ready to throw in New York only to be bested several hours later.. Have to give credit where it's due he had a great strategy with the odds stacked against him. Solid gameplay whether your with him or not (I'm with you) but this is strictly unbiased. Think that film Wolf of Wall Street, straight asshole of a man but smart enough to make you trade your quarter for his penny.
You say the favor was stacked against him but he had 2 times more free media coverage than Hillary. People hated the Clintons for a long time, especially in the Midwest. People hated Hillary so much that some on the left even chose not to vote simply out of spite. This was also during the time that almost every news coverage of Hillary was about her email scandal. She was in the spotlight long enough for her to no longer garnish excitement while Trump, touting himself as a successful billionaire and an outsider, was new to the political scene. Trump flip-flopped so much during his campaign and his supporters simply ignored it. This wasn't someone who had a clear political ideology.
Do you really believe Trump knows what he's talking about? This was a guy who thought it was feasible to build a wall across the border and have Mexico pay for it. That was his major platform for his entire campaign. Leaked audio tapes and testimonies continuously affirm how unintelligent Trump is.
