He won by a confluence of odd luck,
Yes. With never having run for office he defeated the biggest and best republican field, Ever. With the most primary votes. Ever. Then with a tiny campaign staff, spending a fraction of the money, and with most of his own party against him, and the media, and Hollywood, he defeated the most experienced person ever to run for president.
That’s some confluence of odd luck.
Then again, it turned out the most experienced person ever to run for president had never heard of the electoral college, and thought it was California and New York, and CNN.
So maybe the confluence of odd luck was going up against a bunch of deluded know-nothings. Who’d a thunk?
