question: Victor Davis Hanson's 2019 book, The Case for Trump, is such an attempt to comprehend the 2016 results, and how Trump won a straight party ticket energizing the Republican base, and how he won the swing states of the Midwest. In the first part, Hanson attempts to answer the question: "What and who created Trump?" This chapter, "The Two Americas," explains the mechanism by which Trump won 90% of the Republican votes, and how his campaign promises embraced and galvanized the disenchanted White workingclass voters, who were angry over their perceived economic and cultural decline in states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In retrospect, during his presidential campaign and after becoming president, Trump maintained his manners, and treated voters as viewers of a show, addressing them in plain, entertaining language, using swear words and nicknames. "Republicans Lose While Winning" analyzes the Republican Party's unsuccessful presidential campaigns (George H. W. Bush in 1992, Bob Dole in 1996, John McCain in 2008, and Mitt Romney in 2012), claiming that those candidates had lacked the charisma, stamina, and crudity needed to energize the voters and defeat the more energetic democratic candidates.
