I thought much of the article was off base. It began with the falsehood "when the GOP went all-out Trump," it didn't. Then finished with, "In the years to come, when we look back on Trump’s victory, this is why it will be remembered less as a win for Republicans than as a failure for the Democrats." The author discusses how liberals dismissed Trump and ultimately falls into the same trap of dismissing Trump's victory as a failure on the part of the Democrats.
This election involved the the two most unpopular Presidential candidates in history. According to exit polls, 90% of Republicans voted Republican, 89% of Democrats voted Democrat. Clinton won the popular vote, Trump won the Electoral College. Christ, Trump University was being sued for defrauding members of the middle class trying to better themselves through education by emulating his formula for success while discussing how he would protect the middle class from "crooked" Clinton.
Trump isn't even a conservative, but he said what they wanted to hear, motivated enough of them to vote, and played the Electoral College game better.
