"Rethink It With Ben: Why Trump won. The neglected story"
People around the world are still in shock over the win of Donald Trump, a serial woman abuser and “racist”, over Hillary Clinton in the just concluded US Presidential election.
How could this have happened? All the polls pointed to Hillary being victorious and pundits are still wondering how Trump snatched it?
But poll numbers show that Trump won 29% i.e. a third of Latino votes even after he repeatedly threatened to deport them and build a wall on the Mexican border.
You would also have expected American women, of all races, to unite behind Hillary against a man who has referred to them as dogs, pigs and even advised men to “grab them by the pussy”.
Yet only 34% of white women voted for Hillary while 62% voted for Trump. So clearly there’s something bigger than hate, misogyny, and racism at play here.
Though lots of Trump supporters would love to hang a ‘niggar’, he won this election on the backs of neutrals who voted Republican. Why would they vote a man like Trump?
America might be the land of the free but it was founded on Christian values. In 2014, 280 million Americans or 70% Americans were Christians. These consists of African Americans, Latinos, and Whites.
According to the USA today 50% of America’s middle class who earn $100,000 and above voted for Trump.
Why? Frankly, because they were tired. "Mrs. Clinton comes from the establishment. It’s the same old fashioned government. We don’t need that anymore," Rolando Chumaceiro, a family doctor.
He admitted that Trump was vulgar towards women but still prefers him to Clinton.
The way I see it, Trump did not win, the Democrats lost. The people wanted a change and Hillary, a Democrat, simply does not reflect that change.
