Drumpf won for a lot of reasons. None of them are good ones.
He got votes from Republican's who HATE him because they know it won't take long before he hangs himself and will be ousted. That is why Republicans, who pulled their support and funding for him, still voted for him. That's why they all came out kissing his ass after the election so they could get the jobs they want before he steps off the stool.
He won by duping steel workers into thinking he, a man who purposely bought foreign steel, who purposely ripped off American companies, who purposely defrauded American people, who willfully hires foreign workers, would somehow bring back their jobs. They bought his lies hook, line and sinker.
He won because he "tells it like it is" and spouts off to the lowest common denominator. He riled up the masses, in certain areas, to believe he was an every man just like them. Never mind his 5th Ave penthouse with a golden toilet.
He's a con man and just pulled the biggest con in the history of the world. America has enough dumb people who fall for Nigerian Prince scams and limited PayPal account scams every day that they easily fell for his nonsense.
And he won because US politics is so bi-partisan that the Republican's could have run an actual elephant and the Democrats an actual Donkey and they'd each still get 40% of the vote simply due to the party they represent.
