From the first day of the presidential campaign started over a year ago, Donald trump was constantly deceived all expectations.
Very few would have imagined that he, in principle, nominate a candidate, and he entered her. Everyone said that its ratings simply can’t grow, but they grew up. No one believed he could win the primaries, at least in the same state, but he won.
Of course, no one could not think that he will get the Republican nomination, and he got it. And finally, everyone was just sure that he by no means can’t win a presidential campaign.
And what do we have now? Elected President of trump delivering his victory speech.
We counted five major moves of the campaign of Donald trump’s five trump cards which he one after the other – just pulled out of the sleeve. Moves, which almost no one expected and which many have failed to appreciate.

“White wave” trump
Oscillating States decided, one after the other. Ohio, Florida, North Carolina all chose trump.
In stock at Hillary Clinton remain the only States traditional democratic area, but pretty soon he “cringed”.

The last hope of the Democrats remained the Midwest. These States have always, for decades, voted for candidates of the Democratic party – partly thanks to the support of African Americans, partly due to the votes of the white working class.
And these same white working class – especially those who have no higher education, both men and women – have fled from the democratic camp whole regiments and divisions. The villagers suddenly woke up from years of political hibernation and orderly went to vote. One-storey America – offended on the government and believing that the policy did not give due attention has rejected the state elite and spoke quite clearly.
And while Virginia and Colorado survived, though not without loss in the democratic camp, however, Wisconsin “PAL” – and with it collapsed and the presidential hopes of Hillary Clinton.
However, she can still get a small consolation prize in the form of victory in California and new York. Maybe Hillary will even be ahead of the opponent in total number of votes cast for it, but it already does not change.
The wave trump descended on the shore exactly where it was necessary for the victory of the Republican, and struck with storm force.
“Teflon“ Donald
Donald trump insulted the honored Vietnam war veteran John McCain.
He went on the attack on the Fox News channel and its popular leading Megan Kelly.

He wasn’t much embarrassed when he was asked why he mocked the magnificent forms of the beauty pageant winners come from Latin America.
He through clenched teeth not too sincere apology, after the public was presented the video in which he boasted of as a molested women.
He with great difficulty held three rounds of televised debates, which clearly were not prepared.
However, none of this played any role. And although the ratings fell after each several scandalous episodes, in General they behave like tube, which sooner or later ends up on the surface, no matter how long you held it under water.
Perhaps it was the fact that all this negativity was so dense flow that none of the charges did not linger in the memory of the audience long enough to put Trump serious damage. Maybe trump’s personality was so attractive that negativity Bouncing off him as from sagovornika. In any case, trump proved to be invulnerable.
Outsider
Trump led the fight against the Democratic party. But at the same time, he was up against quite a significant number of people in his own Republican camp.
He prevailed in both cases.

Trump got the nomination, going over the heads of the defeated in the primaries of the Republicans. Some of them – like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Ben Carson chose to kneel. Other – Jeb Bush and Ohio Governor John Kasich – were pushed beyond the usual circle of the party, and now look at what was happening.
As for other party leaders, their assistance to the Trump and is not needed. By the way, it is possible that his landslide victory he won just because he kept them at a distance.
Trump’s attitude to the political establishment, which can be summarized as “a plague on both your houses” and awarded him the spirit of independence, which is very like the General public, which on the whole do not trust Washington. However, the same General public still re-elected for another term almost all members of Congress – apparently, the distrust has spread deep enough.
Although these sentiments caught not a single trump. The same tune dudel Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republican Ted Cruz, the only trump sound somehow came out much louder.
Factor Komi
It is obvious that all the polls were trapped with their predictions, especially in terms of the States of the Midwest. However, in recent days, Clinton and trump were almost level, and Trump really lit up the victory.
Two weeks ago, the picture was somewhat different, yet unexpectedly, FBI Director James Comey blew up “the information bomb,” saying that re-opens an investigation into the correspondence of Hillary Clinton.

However, by this time, the gap between Clinton and trump declined slightly, but the sharp jump in the popularity of trump happened in the interval between the two statements in Komi Republic. In the first, he said that resumes the investigation, the second – that of corpus delicti in the actions of the Clinton no.
Trump has used this relatively small amount of time to rally their supporters to return to the bosom of his own party wavering Republicans and to deprive Clinton of the last hopes to strengthen its position.
Of course, this would not have happened if Clinton did not initially have used private email for official correspondence. So she can only blame on themselves.
Intuitively
Donald trump had a most unconventional campaign, but it seems that he figured out the situation better than all the experts.

He spent more money on baseball than on election posters. He led a campaign in Wisconsin and Michigan, though he insisted that there Republicans have no chance.
He held mass rallies, instead, to send activists to knock on every door.
It was not a deliberate policy, which was reflected in his speech after the election, which was perhaps the most dismal in modern US history, and not triumfatora.
He spent much less money on the campaign than Hillary Clinton, and also smaller than all of his rivals in the Republican primaries. He turned on the head the accepted idea of how to carry a presidential campaign.
Politically savvy circles and mocked in a similar strategy.
But in the end it worked, and trump and his closest allies, the children and several of their closest advisors, are pleased to remind you that “he laughs best who laughs last.”
And now to laugh at the political establishment they will come from the White house.
