WHY TRUMP WON: A POST-MORTEM OF THE 2016 ELECTION
From Chapter 8 of Be The Revolution by Jay Ponti
For millions of Americans, November 3, 2016 was a day that will forever remain emblazoned in the halls of infamy.
There was a creeping horror that set in as the final state vote tallies were displayed on screens across the country. Mouths gaped, unable to choose between expressions of horror and disbelief. It had been a foregone conclusion that Hillary would win, and in doing so break the glass ceiling as the first woman POTUS. Instead, America had elected a billionaire celebrity reality television star who had zero experience in governance and who was once featured on WWF Wrestling.
