I think more people just liked Obama better than McCain and Romney, simple. I think most of America was embarrassed to have the two candidates we had and Trump won for his economic and anti establishment messaging. It is a shame that behaving like a spoiled child had positive results. Sets a horrible example
When one gets fawning coverage from the press and very little criticism from them more people will tend to like you better. You might not have liked Trumps message or the way he delivered it but at least he had one outside of Trump is bad I can’t tell you what Hillarys message was. When it was all said and done an at times crassly delivered message had more appeal than no message.
Hillary had many messages but they all got drowned out by crooked, and emails and lock her up. She had many faults and Trump exploited those faults like a master, you can give him credit for that as it won him the election, but it was a dirty way to play the game.
I don’t disagree with that much of Trumps policy agenda, but the way he delivers the messaging is immature and embarrassing. If I’m being honest, I crack up at most of his antics, but when I really think about him being the leader of the free world, acting the way he is acting, it is a scary and dangerous thing. I don’t see how we unify and regain the ability to work with each other in a stable honest or productive way unless he loses the next election and we get a big backlash in attitude.
