How Trump Won the Election - (ANALYSIS) | Learn Something

there's not gonna be a president Donald Trump I continue to believe mr. Trump will not be present you're not gonna be President all right Donald Trump will never ever be President of the United States Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States nobody predicted it nobody saw it coming the election of Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election was the biggest upset victory in the history of democracy Donald Trump wins the presidency the business tycoon and a TV personality capping is a probable political journey with an astounding upset victory Donald J Trump will become the 45th President of the United States defeating Hillary Clinton in a campaign unlike anything we've seen in our lifetime at nine o'clock p.m. on election night the New York Times projected that Hillary Clinton has an 85 percent chance of winning the presidency it was it was an 80 percent an hour ago for Clinton what is it now 68 percent okay uh but I'm nervous okay you should be nervous it's not kidding around anymore I'm not kidding just three hours later it was less than 5% polls were all wrong so how did the polls lead us astray everybody expected Donald Trump to lose the election but he didn't I've already made a video explaining how he won the election a timeline this video is more analytical why did he win what changed [Music] in 2008 the election was much different it was a little-known Democrat from Illinois versus a well-known Republican from Arizona by election day Barack Obama had a seven-point lead in the polls and won a decisive victory over John McCain Senator Barack Obama of Illinois will be the next president of the United States Obama campaigned on change something Donald Trump or later borrow Obama voters weren't happy with the direction that President Bush in their Republican Party were taking the country and they hope the Democratic Party would push America in the right direction in 2012 things were different while still winning the election President Obama won by a smaller margin North Carolina and Indiana two states that voted for Obama in 2008 voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 coupled with that the 2014 midterm elections saw sweeping victories for the Republican Party and it ends with the Republican sweep taking control of the House and the Senate Obama became at lame-duck president without control of Congress he couldn't get anything done daca was the president's biggest accomplishment in the second term and that didn't require any congressional action Obama was term limited in 2016 and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic nomination the Republicans nominated real estate mogul Donald Trump for the presidency throughout the race Glenn maintained a reasonable lead on Trump nearly all of the polls predicted our victory but they were wrong Trump won the race with 306 electoral votes there are many reasons why this happened and I'll talk about all of them the biggest of all however is the Obama Trump voter Hillary Clinton said this about her loss he was quite successful in referencing a nostalgia that would give hope comfort settle grievances for millions of people who were upset about gains that were made by others what you're saying is a millions of white people millions of white people yeah millions of white people this was a white lash this was a white lash against a changing country it was a white lash against a black president in part well part of that may be true it's not entirely true it wasn't just white people who flipped from Obama to Trump it couldn't have been 206 counties in America flipped from voting for Obama in 2012 to trump in 2016 many of these counties are located in the Rust Belt Iowa Wisconsin Michigan Ohio and Pennsylvania among the others flipped to the GOP at 2016 and what do all these have in common jobs the automobile industry was and still is a big part of the Midwest Michigan in particular being recognized as the motor capital of the world during the recession in 2009 General Motors and Chrysler both filed for bankruptcy bankruptcy although the federal government bailed them out ten major General Motors facilities in Michigan and Ohio were closed down these blue-collar auto workers were once part of the Democratic stronghold most of them are unionized and a lot of times their fiscal liberals Trump campaigned strongly in the Midwest and he especially hit on jobs and we are going to the White House and we are going to bring jobs back to our country and we are going to bring jobs back to Michigan Ford had announced it was moving a big operation into Mexico and Trump voted to stop it we will be bringing back our jobs to Michigan there will be a very big price to pay for those companies that want to leave our land go someplace else manufacture their goods and sell them back with no retribution it won't happen there will be consequence these Auto Workers wanted their jobs back and they figured Donald Trump would help their cause he claimed to represent the Forgotten American and the blue-collar workers knew he was talking about them this is this was forgotten America rising up and choosing Donald Trump as their vehicle other blue-collar jobs especially miners in West Virginia Ohio and Michigan's Upper Peninsula supported Trump in the 1990s the United Mine Workers of America voted for Bill Clinton in a landslide 20 years later the same was true for Donald Trump these voters were massively affected by the 2008 recession they blamed the administration for their job loss and the Democratic Party paid a big price Hillary Clinton has valved Charles to continue the destruction of Barack Obama relative to the coal industry people say of these Trump voters are racists and that's why they voted for him some of them are probably racists but I believe that they voted for Donald Trump because of job security Michigan's Macomb County was one of the counties that flipped here's what former Congresswoman for the area said I think Trump would win not by an even bigger margin today Wow why why he was talking about currency manipulations and losing our jobs to Mexico Hillary was talking about identity policy yeah what bathroom people were supposed to use and we just couldn't get it we were just like we want to go to work here the next reason that Trump won was the cultural shift of the political left never before had identity politics become so prominent in the left-wing the Democratic Party moved farther left socially than ever before to quote Roseanne Barr you're you were a very liberal socially liberal person in general I mean the Democratic Party was against illegal immigration for decades that's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before illegal immigration was seen as a bad thing until it wasn't some cities especially in the liberal west coast even allowed illegal aliens to take refuge there without any chance of being deported the left had gone even farther left they've established a social hierarchy based on privilege with straight white males at the bottom of the hierarchy and you know what should I do to got my golf and check my privilege they expanded on the ideas of affirmative action especially towards whom they see the most underprivileged transgenders and Muslims for example there are many socially liberal people in America they believe in civil rights and affirmative action but a large number of them did not support the social hierarchy that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party were working towards a lot of them didn't show up to the polls or even voted for Donald Trump this brings me to my last topic Hillary Clinton Hillary Rodham Clinton had been in politics for many years starting out as the first lady to President Bill Clinton then becoming Senator for New York running for president in 2008 and eventually becoming Secretary of State under President Obama she was a textbook establishment Democrat but the Democratic Party was undergoing a change a split between the progressive Democrats corporate Democrats for a long time the Democratic Party represented the working man the blue-collar American voted for Trump in the Rust Belt starting in the late 90s and early 2000s they started supporting corporations and globalism Hillary Clinton is a corporate Democrat and that was exacerbated by the Goldman Sachs speeches that was released by WikiLeaks during the campaign Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi are examples of corporate Democrats Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren or progressive Democrats they've gone farther left economically Bernie Sanders even identifying as a socialist you are a socialist what what does that mean in the 2016 election primaries Bernie Sanders supporters came out in droves especially young adults college kids Sanders came very close to winning the Democratic primary 43 percent of the Democratic primary votes were cast to Bernie Sanders not only did the right wing not identify with Hillary Clinton but a sizeable chunk of the Democratic Party didn't either you think Hillary Clinton's honest no I don't you like Hillary Clinton no way giannis now absolutely not I can't say that I wouldn't could you support Hillary Clinton I'm burning or bust I'm burning your bus that's it Bernie or there's gonna be a revolution in this country many of these Sanders supporters didn't show up to the polls in November and some of them even vote for Trump in the long run I mean if Hillary is the nominee either Jill Stein will Electrify the base she'll go bold if she doesn't go bold and if she's gonna lose I'm gonna go for Trump I know it's scary but Hillary Hillary is a war monger whatever the puppet masters tell her to do that's what she'll do in my analysis the Democrats are in pretty bad shape right now without controlled the presidency Congress and with what seems to be a shifting right Supreme Court the Democratic Party needs to make some dramatic changes that they want to succeed in the 2018 midterms in the 2020 presidential election they are deeply divided based on ideology and then is bad news for them and then there's all the current political drama with Russia and Comey and everything else which I don't feel is possible to analyze without bias at this time the 2016 election was a historic one to say the least the 2018 midterm elections are going to make or break the trump presidency whatever happens I'll be here to analyze it thank you very much for watching and getting my first documentary over 1 million views I really do appreciate it and I'll see you in the next one
