In reply to the discussion: Why Trump won. [View all]mnmoderatedem
(3,846 posts)4. to me it's is hatred of immigrants that are his appeal among reublicans
legal or illegal doesn't matter. He hates all immigrants (except Melania of course, maybe even her). This hate resonates so well with the republican base that they chose him over Haley, Desantis, etc, who share similar policy but have nowhere near the baggage.
I would have thought Mar a Lago documents case would have been the final straw, but once again, I overestimated the republican base voters.

wrong. Trump supposedly won in all 7 swing states, with the down ballot races all going for the democrats.

Not that it's any consolation, but he didn't even get a majority of the popular vote.

Yes, his % continues to drift lower and lower as more votes come in. And while these links are helpful

Trump would claim a landslide regardless. I'm pretty sure he declared a landslide in 2016 despite losing the PV

The closeness of the PV hasn't been the MSM's focus at any point along the way. The image of a decisive victory
