Key factors that led to Trump winning, according to my calculations:

30% -- the media's coverage of the campaign, and idiotic focus on Hillary's emails and neglect of issues of substance (e.g. climate change, jobs plans, healthcare). This part includes Comey's late breaking announcement on her emails (October surprise).

20% -- related to hacking by Russia and create chaos and confusion about the Democrats

20% -- the historical situation of conservatives pissed off after 8 years of Obama and not wanting 4 more years of a "liberal" president (threats of gun control, keeping abortion legal, gay marriage, etc)

20% -- Trump's ability to game media coverage, lie effortlessly and demagogue like a champion

10% -- voter suppression efforts by the GOP

10%-- missteps by Hillary's campaign and her flaws as a candidate

The MAIN POINT is that in a close election, as this last one was, any of these could tip it one way or the other. Russian hacking definitely played a role.


just like a democrat to get 110% out of a hundred

This is the real breakdown:

50% - 8 years of obozo screwing up the country royally

25% - hiLIARy is unlikable and a documented liar about important things

25% - Trump telling it like it is and telling the MSM where to stuff it

If you are actually talking about wikileaks it far from created confusion about who and what dumbcrats are.
It brought perfect clarity to many.

Trump won more states and thus won more electoral college votes and thus won the Presidency. I don't think there is any other way to look at this.

Where is the old DUmath rubric,  1+1= potato??  That is DUmmy math used in calculations!! :cheersmate:

On the other hand, how about that Michigan vote fraud uncovered in the Motor City?   Whoops, lets not go there they say.  Maybe the 'coefficient of fraud' developed there should be applied to other Clinton strong holds to re-level the playing field?   "My popular vote total, it's melting"    :rotf:

My rule of thumb is 90% of any statistic is half false.
