Trump won for a few reasons, probably ones that people will be discussing for years to come. Yes there were some prejudiced ones who voted for him, even if they weren't full on racists. But a lot of it has to do with Trump's and Hillary's campaigns. Trump is a businessman. He sold America an idea, and the majority bought it. Whether you like him or not, its hard to determine whether his campaign was pure luck or meticulously crafted. He never has any real specifics, any real plans for what he said he wanted to do. But he didn't need them, and he knew he didn't. People were just tried of the same old same old. Plain and simple. Politicians telling you exactly want they think you want to hear, whether that means lying through the gaps of their teeth or not. Hillary was the face of this, she just was not trustworthy. Donald Trump never tried to pass himself off as a real American upstanding gent. But at least he was blunt. Alot of people were voting based off of who they DIDN'T want, not who they did. And more people just went for the one who would most likely bring change, for better or for worse, it would be change, something different. I don't think things will go all that smoothly for Trump, I don't think it will be as easy as he thinks ot get things done. But it is what it is. At least, that's what I think happened.
