    One thing that helped Trump present himself as moderate was the Clinton campaign's decision to downplay ideology & empowerment of GOP congress while focusing on Trump's personal qualities.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1102231776070651904 …

    Agree with a lot of this (not all) but also: Voters in 2016 did *not* see Trump as extreme. They viewed him as pretty moderate, in fact. He's seen as more conservative now, however. https://53eig.ht/2EbSY3P  https://twitter.com/SeanTrende/status/1102214149034205185 …

        HRC stopped the convention momentum in it’s tracks when she stopped talking about genuine, positive ideas and began either attacking Trump or defending against ghosts.

        Hmmm, to me he always acted the part of a grifter, a conman, a criminal. I didn't believe a single thing he claimed to stand for - only propaganda to sucker people into voting for him. He has no values past his wallet.

        but the thing is that he really doesn't have an ideology

        No, people on the left were saying in in the summer of 2016.

        I'd argue HRC was very well versed and spoken on her ideologies, but rather all was spoken of in the media was her denouncements of Trump. The media ignored her policy agenda, thus the electorate did, too. Recycle, repeat.

        That would be plausible if it wasn't a perfect description of her commercials in the few days before the election. There was no policy, it was all trump bad. Seriously, they ran them 6-8x per hour during primetime.

        Calling trump supporters deplorables was definitely a defining moment, too.

        Replying to @HeerJeet @TheWayWithAnoa

        What part of his ideology would Clinton criticize him for? Wars? Corporate tax cuts? Deregulation? That leaves abortion, guns, sexism, racism. She probably did her best on those. She was also trying to woo "moderate Republicans" which today may be an oxymoron. Wrong nominee IMO.
