If you think the only small states are the reason why Trump won then you're sorely mistaken ... Out of the top 10 most populated states he carried Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Michigan! (5 of the biggest swing states that Obama won in the last election! I didn't even think it was possible for him to win Pennsylvania!) You don't win the electoral college with just states that have high voting power (Go ask Romney and see how that fared.). Trump's victory can't be undermined one bit when he can actually change voter demographics compared to Romney. |
The fact is that more people still voted for Clinton, so yes, Trump is still an affirmative action candidate with no mandate.
He made grand promises in the Great Lakes states he hasn't a snowball's chance of delivering on by spouting empty jingoism. The manufacturing jobs of 1950 will never return, but the people there won't face that fact. Neither will coal mining. And manufacturing is less and less labor intensive. Come 2020, if he doesn't deliver, the Dems will be back in the WH with Congressional control to boot.
