Trump is smart marketer and a good strategists.
He was able to tap into a worldwide trend. His tactics were part of his strategy.
He gained the ultra right vote, but it was not his main strength. It was a side win tactics.
At the end of the day, more Latinos and African Americans voted for him that for the last Republican candidate, and ''college moms'' voted for him.
His strategy paid and the fools are the political establishment and the media who remained in their towers, separate from the beat of the street.

It is a good analysis. But it misses on the international dimension of the phenomena.
Ultra right in Europe is also populist and digging into the same disenfranchisement.
It is the rise of National Socialism who combines socialist economic policies with ultra conservative social issues.
It is the failure of the left to address the issues of concern to their historical base.
It is the progressive youth and women losing heart and faith with the left because today they talk and look like bankers and lawyers. They are isolated in their tower of pedantic cliches.
Bernie was able to reinvigorate the base because he talked with passion in black and white.
Trump won because he talked about the issue of the average person with passion and in black and white.
He looked like a real person. He behaved like a real person people could identify with.
He is no fool.
The political establishment and the media are the fools because they did not and still are resisting to understand the '' why '' Trump was elected.

Don't fool yourselves about the nature of the people who did vote Trump in. Its not a big shift towards racism, sexism, etc.. Because if you look at the social polling data more that 60% of the population are generally pretty in the middle on social issues.
Look at the breakdown not state to state, but county to county. Its clear who voted him in, its a quarter of the population. Its the people in the more rural areas who got passed by by the economic recovery experienced in the more urban centers. Its people who are stuck in the middle between affordable care and medicaid. Its the people who are really a class of working poor, working constantly to try and pay off debt that will never clear.
Just like Brexit this was a cry for help.
The fact that people are still baffled by how this happened and that these people are still invisible to most progressives is part of the problem. On the other hand these people probably would benefit the most from progressive socialist policies, but that's not the nature of populism in the US it tends to take a more right wing form.
