Perception is reality and for many their perception says everything you stated it correct while for an equal amount their perception says you're wrong. Either way though the cold reality is...it didn't matter. How someone campaigns and secures support to become president seems to shift wildly from election to election. This time around many seemed to make the internal argument of "We're not electing the nice person, we're electing the more capable person."

This election wasn't about whether trump is a meanie or a nice dude. It was about years of neglect for the lower middle class in the middle of this country on the part of DC politicians. The one person charismatic enough and outsider enough came along and said "drain the swamp" and every factory worker sitting on their couch looking for a new job said "Finally!" It didn't matter that he's an asshole. They voted in spite of that. The same message from someone equally as media savvy with a better reputation and a nicer demeanor would have made this a blowout across the board.

Right message
Right time
Sorta right guy
