How Trump Won — and How the Media Missed It
Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election for many reasons.
He had a celebrity profile, the ability to self-fund, and a gift for piercing his rivals with a single put-down.
He held skeptical positions on immigration and trade that millions of Americans also support, but which both parties had previously shut out of the debate. He also worked harder than Hillary Clinton, campaigning in blue states experts said he had no hope of winning.
But one reason stands above them all: Donald Trump won his party’s nomination and the general election itself because he, alone among Republican candidates, dared to defy the media and to speak directly to the American people.
He did not ignore the media: on the contrary, he probably granted too many interviews for his own good, and carted journalists around on a dedicated press plane for months.
On the contrary: they ignored him.
