I am a little surprised that Trump did as well as he did, and I do think that he deserves some credit (from the perspective of evaluating his strength as a political candidate) for being good at turning out his base. However, I also think he benefited a lot from perceptions of a strong economy (which, regardless of your opinions of his policies, no president can ever fully control), a Democratic Party that has moved left pretty fast in the last few years, and the simple fact that Republican voters are more efficiently allocated.
