I guess the 2018 elections will show us more in that regard. Unless Trump really blows it the next two years the GOP should make even more gains as the left continues to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Many voters were turned off by Clinton due to the Benghazi and subsequent email investigation.
The Benghazi investigation is complete bullshit. There are two stars on the CIA's memorial wall due to Benghazi. The government, regardless of party affiliation, is going to come up with a cover story. If people don't realize that, they're stupid. Plain and simple.
The email investigation developed out of the Benghazi investigation. The investigation proved little more than she is an idiot, but it continued to promote the "crooked" Hillary story line IOT foment voter mistrust. To quote W., "Mission accomplished." Which isn't actually a W. quote, it was on the sign in the background when he declared major combat operations had ended. But, it serves to reinforce how difficult it is to dispel a cultural myth once it has taken hold of the public psyche; such as social issues, rather than the economy, pushed reluctant voters towards Trump.
