Of course, many factors contributed to the Trumpster's victory (in the electoral college, not in the popular vote) over Hillary. One of the most important, however, maybe the most important, was the Trumpster's apparent competence with Twitter versus the email debacle of Hillary and her pals.
Illustrator Phil McKenney of Montross, Virginia, has captured the essence of the matter in the above 'toon. The Trumpster's Twitter skills gave the impression, most likely false, that he knew what he was doing in the brave new world of the Information Age.
On the other hand, the email mess that the Hillary crowd brought on themselves led many border-line voters to conclude, "I don't want these clowns in charge of the nation." Oh, the Hillary people would blame it all on Russian hacking. But even if there was such hacking (as there probably was), what it revealed was a bunch of technological neophytes who never learned the basic lesson of email: "If you don't want it on the front page of the Washington Post, don't put it in an email."
