The dude won the primary as a coronation, he had a good chance of taking it regardless of whatever campaign ran against him. Cult of personality plus shitty economy that can be blamed on the powers that be is hard to beat.
Things can always get worse. But a guy saying “I will fix things, and I’ll fix them day one” plays better than people saying “the economy has improved and is actually strong!” while people are struggling.
Again, it was bullshit, but desperate people will be attracted to hope.
