Why Trump Won

A few weeks ago I gave an interview to Press TV where I outlined four ways Trump could still win even though the polls didn’t look good for Trump at the time. Apparently, all four of these actually came to pass.

1-Increased evidence of Hillary’s incompetence and corruption rendered her an increasingly unpalatable candidate to many voters. Her numbers really sank after the FBI investigation was reopened.

2-Trump did surprisingly well among African-Americans, particularly black men.

3-The third party candidates did unusually well, and seem to have hurt Hillary more than Trump.

4-Trump cleaned up with the working class vote in the Rust Belt states that have been hit the hardest by the neoliberal economic policies that Hillary’s husband pioneered.
