Trump's biggest voting bloc in 2016 were people who did not trust Hillary Clinton. When someone says the same thing over and over for 30 years, it eventually becomes part of the public consciousness. Leaders of the Republican party had been saying for decades that Hillary could not be trusted. Voters were already biased to see Hillary as untrustworthy. Once her emails came to light, feeding right into the narrative that Hillary was crooked, the election was basically finished. -- Bex <3 "I am now telling the computer EXACTLY what he can do with a lifetime supply of chocolate." - "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" -*- ASTG 1.8 * Q-Blue 2.4 * .
