Because he was SMART enough to know what states he needed to hit hard, and he did - while your senile old bag sat on her fat ass and did no do the work needed.
We call that LOSING. At least those of us in the real world.

Trump claimed he was on the ballot Nov 7th, 2018.. Do you call that losing as well?
I do.
Luck, and overconfidence by the Clinton campaign. Gave Chumpy those 80,000 votes. An election outlier aided by the Russians and James Comey blabbing out of turn.

No, he was NOT on the ballot.
He just said that so idiots would think he was.
Wonder how it worked out?

What has your quote got to with anything, other than your obsession?
Try to keep up - you are really looking bad this week.
Maybe you need to dig deep and reply with a really loud, obnoxious, yet unrelated fit to get back some of your street cred.
Give it a shot.

That has yet to be determined, although quite a few ex-intel officers and reports of abuses by social media point indeed to some success.
What is important to understand is Trump barely won the electoral college by less than 80,000 in only 3 states. But lost the popular vote by almost 3 MILLION.
This issue is not going away soon.

Sorry, influencing social media is not "fixing" an election, a lot of entities influence social media it doesn't mean the "fixed" anything, you're right Trump barely won the electoral college. I think the only reason he did was because the Democrats thought the rust belt was in the bag and didn't campaign there. He was smart and went there while Hillary screwed the pooch. He's doing his best to lose those voters by the way he acts. It's still 2 years away, anything can happen

Nothing but one excuse after another...And the Dems cheated their asses off, yet still couldn't get the Witch elected....Simply pathetic, as they'll get caught for mid-term results soon...

He won because the country didn’t want to give Hillary, Carte Blanche!
Obama lost us a decade, and the country was tired of it. Hillary was just an extension of Obama.....and the country knew it

Remember, no one is saying any of the 3 factors I mentioned, produced more than a few point swing in the 3 states that gave Trump a 80,000 vote margin in the electoral college.
Here's How Facebook Actually Won Trump the Presidency
https://www.wired.com/2016/11/facebo...ust-fake-news/
Mark Zuckerberg is trying hard to convince voters that Facebook had no nefarious role in this election. But according to President-elect Donald Trump's digital director Brad Parscale, the social media giant was massively influential—not because it was tipping the scales with fake news, but because it helped generate the bulk of the campaign's $250 million in online fundraising.
"Our biggest incubator that allowed us to generate that money was Facebook," says Parscale, who has been working for the campaign since before Trump officially announced his candidacy a year and a half ago. Over the course of the election cycle, Trump's campaign funneled $90 million to Parscale's San Antonio-based firm, most of which went toward digital advertising. And Parscale says more of that ad money went to Facebook than to any other platform.

i love and respect all presidents, using your metrics, if Obama lost us a decade, Bush must have lost us about a century.

That may be true but there were many American entities influencing social media from the left and the right, the Russians didn't come up with negative ads, that's an American invention, they were just piling on. It made little to no difference there were plenty of right wing entities posting the same negative stories of HRC

No, it is a well documented Russian invention.
Russia Spent $1.25M Per Month on Ads, Acted Like an Ad Agency: Mueller
https://adage.com/article/digital/ru...ueller/312424/
Published on February 16, 2018.

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller unveiled the details of an allegedly widespread and coordinated campaign by Russians to influence the U.S. presidential election in favor of Donald Trump, delivering on his initial mandate by the Justice Department.
In an indictment announced Friday in Washington, Mueller describes a years-long, multimillion-dollar conspiracy by hundreds of Russians aimed at criticizing Hillary Clinton and supporting Senator Bernie Sanders and Trump. Mueller charged 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities and accused them of defrauding the U.S. government by interfering with the political process.
Those involved spent some $1.25 million per month on ad campaigns and measured their efforts much as an ad agency would, according to the indictment. It says the group kept track of metrics like views and comments, and measured engagement.
Prosecutors provided a remarkably detailed picture of how Russians used social media, fake rallies and secretive operatives in the U.S. to create "political intensity" by backing radical groups, opposition social movements and disaffected voters. The outreach from the Russians included direct contact with over 100 Americans.
