In the US, there a large number of states that a Republican is sure to win and a large number of states that a Democrat is sure to win. That only leaves about 8-10 states that are in play. Trump won all those swing states. He won historic margins for Republican among young people, women, and minorities. He did this despite all the powerful forces of the establishment working night and day against him. The media, justice system, corrupt establishment politicians who were both Republican and Democrat pulled every trick to defeat him. He was even shot. His election was the greatest political victory in history to have overcome all those forces and won that election. No one else in political history could have done that.
