Donald Trump Next US President

It looks like Donald Trump has won the race to the White House. What an upset, the pollsters will have to review their methods as they got it badly wrong - again. 

If we're going to be honest, Hillary Clinton lost two weeks ago when her campaign stalled and she lost all momentum. It wasn't the FBI investigation or Wikileaks, it was her approach to campaigning that cost her victory. 

Hillary Clinton treats her campaign like a parade to victory. She swans around the place, gracing the masses with her presence. Meanwhile her opponents roll their sleeves up and ask the voters to back them, that they'll effect change for them. Which message or approach sounds better? She stalled against Obama, and now Trump too.

Trump was backed by what I call angry pick-up truck man. On my recent visit to the USA I saw them everywhere with their Trump/Pence bumper stickers. They sit behind the wheel of their trucks looking very pissed off. These angry, mostly white men, were going to vote come what may. They'd remember to vote no matter what. Contrast that with Hillary, I didn't see any evidence of her campaign apart from television attack ads. Lame.
