> The fact is, Hillary was such a poor candidate that even Trump was able to defeat her. Just accept it and move on. This is false. It has nothing to do with Hillary. > The false narrative in tfa is another example of denial. How could Trump win unless everyone in the midwest is a racist homophobe? The false narrative is that Trump was a strong candidate. On the contrary, I'm betting he knew exactly how to play the game. Democrats have always had a hard time getting a 3rd term. They've only done it twice since 1836. The so-called keys to the White House pointed to a Republican victory. Trump is a sales man, he knew that the average American voter doesn't want to listen to policy, but rather catchy phrases that are vague patriotic ("I like Ike"). He is a weak candidate who knew how to work the system for a win. He's now filling his cabinet with people who shouldn't be there (Ben Carson, Sarah Palin, Rudy Guiliani), because the reality is he doesn't care one bit about policy or being the president. In their desire for "change" voters have managed to elect a person who doesn't care about them and whose apathy is going to do a lot of harm.
