HRC spent double to what Trump spent. Didn’t help. No one votes because of TV commercials anymore. We are in the identity politics era.
Well, Trump didn't have to spend much money on television ads, because with his outrageous statements (grab 'em by the pussy, I don't like people who were captured, etc.), it got so much media coverage that it sucked all the oxygen out of the room.
Somewhat. He also smartly used the social media platform. He was also the better debater than everyone he went up against.
Really? You think that he was a better debater? How? All he ever did was insult his competition, tell everyone how great and what a deal maker he is, as well as how rich he is.
Nothing of substance has ever been uttered by this man. All you hear him say is how great he is, how good he's gonna make things, but you never hear him give you substance in the form of what he's actually gonna do, and how he's gonna get it done.
Yes. He was the by far the most charismatic, although Christie was OK too and certainly had the most poignant message. Whether you agreed with it or not you knew what he stood for. Wall --- stronger immigration policies, better military, improved trade deals, create more jobs. His platform was there for everyone to understand and he wiped the floor with the GOP competitors. He also brought up taboo subjects...blacks voting for Democrats for 50 years and still struggling in many areas, the danger of Radical Islam, "drain the swamp".
He then smoked HRC. She is a bad debater anyway but he was way better. And insulting the competition was OK with me. Romney got smoked because he didn't fight. Trump wasn't Romney. His message resonated. Whether you agree with it or not.
