According to the article, Trump tore through the Rust Belt states, such as Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin, turning red a swath of states that had not voted for a Republican presidential nominee in decades including Pennsylvania, which was last voted Republican in 1988, and Wisconsin, which had been blue since 1984. Furthermore, Clinton fared worse than Obama in almost each voter group. In Philadelphia, where Clinton held a massive rally on November 7th, at which her husband Bill stayed, Obama and his wife Michelle, and Bruce Springsteen all performed, she won 46,000 fewer votes than Obama had in 2012. it can be seen that Trump hate as they did, many of Obama's voters, it seems, just could not bring themselves to vote for the unexciting and reviled alternative that Clinton presented them with and she ran a lavishly funded and highly professional campaign, using the sophisticated voter identification and mobilisation methods perfected by Obama.
