No one else could beat Hillary

My election punditry is closing to its end. I'm already working on a League of Legends database. But history is being made right front of our eyes and I was on the right side. So forgive me, but I'll enjoy these moments.


You can't beat someone playing unfairly by fair play. You can only beat him by pointing out his unfair play and get him disqualified. For this reason, no Bernie, Jeb, Cruz or Rubio could have won the election against Hillary. Her unfair plays were:

• Illegal collection of campaign money from foreign actors
• Complete media support
• Usage of paid thugs to incite violence and false accusers to smear opponents
• Rigging polls to turn people of the other campaign into infighting how to fix the terrible polls (-12% two weeks before victory!!!).

These would have destroyed Bernie, Jeb, Cruz or Rubio if they ever were a threat to her. Her most commonly cited issue, the e-mail server was a management tool for the above. You can't reasonably manage such large organization with face-to-face conspiracy. It was managed via e-mails, believing that her server - while it's in itself illegal - won't be prosecuted.

Donald Trump was the only possible counter for this because both him and his supporters relentlessly demanded prosecution of Clinton. Only a bold, "if they go low, we go lower", anti-establishment person could do that. Can you imagine Jeb leading "lock her up" chants?! This was crucial, because victory could only come from making the people believe that there is a conspiracy, the polls are rigged, the media is literally edited by Donna Brazile, the sea of ads is coming from illegal money. A person who accepts the media as impartial reporter of facts can't be reasonably anything but Clinton supporter. A person who accepts the polls has no more reason to waste his time voting than a Wyoming Democrat (you shall still do it, just to make a stand). A person who sees 10 Clinton ads for 1 Trump without knowledge about finances can rightfully believe that Trump given up on his state.

To be able to do the above, three things were needed which were not available to Bernie, Jeb, Cruz or Rubio, just to Trump:

• He was rich enough to self-fund, without needing money from Wall Street, which would make his campaign pointless. Winning against Hillary on Wall Street money is just doing the job for her. Ryan is just Hillary + pro life bullshit.
• He made rural working class his core voters, the only demographics that is practically immune to the "cosmopolitan" media, so he could win the pre-election and keep his campaign alive
• His extreme self confidence and commanding leading style allowed his campaign to function when everyone were surely panicking. They couldn't argue over "how to turn the trend" because there was no place for arguments after The Donald have spoken.

There are always dissenters in every corrupt system. However when the system is intact, only Edward Snowden type of dissent is possible. If you just speak up alone inside the system, you are told to shut up and you get no support from anyone (even from those who agree with you but afraid). The FBI agents believed that they are powerless to do anything short of going Snowden - but most people don't want to throw away their lives for an ideal with little practical effect. Remember, while Snowden became famous, the NSA was not shut down, no US "diplomats" were expelled from countries where they spied, the USA was not forced to apologize or even promise that they won't do it again. So Snowden didn't actually achieved anything for throwing his life away. This was the prospect of the FBI agents who would just grab the collected classified e-mails and run for Hong Kong. They might make some noise, they would embarrass Clinton and the top dogs, but there would be no legal consequences to anyone but himself.

But tens of thousands shouting "lock her up" on rallies, "you'd be in jail" told into her face in the debate by a major party presidential candidate and the epic "keep you in suspense" about effectively starting armed revolution gave lot of support to dissenting agents, finally forcing the top FBI officials to do their job. The case was reopened, and despite they could somehow push it back below the carpet, the damage was done and Hillary was defeated.

The above isn't my punditry. It's his.

The only risk left is that the establishment will try to isolate him from the people. What they couldn't reach with "Crazy Donald can't build a wall because he'll never be president" can succeed with "Great President Trump in his infinite grace should allow undocumented people to stay". But I'm not too afraid of that. Despite he is president elect, he keeps tweeting in his unique style, to the people directly, bypassing the media, which was, is and forever will be his mortal enemy.
