Sure, Trumps harsh stance on illegal immigration and strong borders was a big part of his support. I think the thought of tax cuts and growing a strong economy led by a businessman was a stronger factor. He did barely win the election against a very flawed candidate on the other side so it wasn't like a huge majority of Americans supported his candidacy... Not even a majority of Americans supported it.I don’t disagree with that. The system is a mess and Trump played off people’s frustrations. Plus they couldnt run a decent candidate against him. The problem is emotion trumps intellect so take smart policy people like Kasich, a candidate who probably had the most potential to make significant progress through legislation... guys like that have a very hard time campaign against the bullhorns like trump. We need somebody that has both the charisma and the policy chops. Trump lacks the latterHe does call the media out and he calls bureaucrats in Washington out which is a good thing... The problem is he calls all these people out while doing the same thing. He spreads more fake news than any media entity. and he hides behind the fake news label to dodge accountability for his actions. Please tell me you can see that.Don't make the mistake of assuming most Americans are as well informed as you or I they are not. Most Americans are too busy with their jobs and families to pay much attention, the liberal media takes advantage of this. They spew twisted half truths which many Americans just assumed were true because they heard it on the news, they continue to spew the talking point until its debunked but by then its too late, they have fooled many Americans who will never read the retraction buried on page 29.
Trump has upset this scheme, we have a POTUS who finally calls the liberal media out on this crap and the American people have begun to question anything the liberal media reports now after discovering they were being lied to.
Who is to blame for Trump becoming president? Yes the liberal media and Washington establishment. Don't fault Trump for the American people getting so fed up with the liberal media and DC establishment's BS that they voted for a guy like Trump. A fitting punishment imo.
Kasich lost when he sided with illegals over the American people illegals are killing, raping, and stringing out on drugs. Jeb Bush did the same thing and got clobbered during the primary. Both those idiots never saw it coming.
Trump dared to even talk about illegals and nearly the entire GOP field attacked him like a pack of wild dogs, the media blasted Trump, demanded an apology, and declared he was finished in the race. Trump refused to apologize and doubled down and they attacked him with even more ferocity. Then what happened? Yes a filthy illegal scumbag shot and killed a young women in San Francisco's sanctuary city right in front of her father. The American people sided with Trump and within a couple of weeks most of the other GOP candidates had flipped flopped and joined Trump on illegal immigration.
It wasn't a harsh stance on illegal immigration, we have bombed countries to rubble for doing less to the American people than illegals have done. Christ Slade an illegal just broke into an American's home and raped their 6 year old daughter in her own bed. I don't think you are in touch with the growing outrage of the American people.
