But I strongly believe it had more to do with his economic message of lies, and the "close the border" bs.

I think people out of work and the "scared" masses wanted to believe that he was going to save them from losing their jobs to Hispanics and save them from Terrorism. Hillary had a great message, but it was not really well known (besides in Democrat circles) and she came of as wanting more refugees and open borders.

There was a lot at play this election, and I pray the DNC really gets to the bottom of what went wrong instead of laying all the blame on Comey and the Russians.
