Ingeniero's list of winners and losers

Winners

The internet - online communities will have to be taken into much higher consideration after this election. It's been shown (imo) that huge online communities can have even the slightest chance of influencing public opinion and the election, and sometimes all you need is the slightest sway to win.

Blue collar workers - their voices were heard this election. By flipping WI, MI, PA, OH, and nearly MN, Trump has allowed the working class to speak and let the nation know that they aren't happy with the way they've been treated.

Political underdogs - now that a chink in the political armor has been exposed more outsiders can wade their way into politics. Hopefully candidates like Rand can use this to their advantage and mount successful campaigns in the future.

Conservatives - this one isn't an argument over if Trump is a liberal or not. Regardless, if Hillary would have won, her policies would've created a climate that would stack the deck in the Democrats' favor, perhaps irreparably.

Julian Assange - Trump winning probably saved his life. Literally.

Losers

The media - after months of biased reporting it came back to bite them. Viewership is down, trust in the media is at an all time low, and people are sick of their rhetoric.

Pollsters - their models can promptly be scrapped. Nate Silver, especially, has had his reputation tarnished (pun intended). By refusing to take into account certain factors in this election, I truly believe they were trying to suppress turnout and influence opinion, and they've made themselves look foolish. Less consideration will be given to their opinions in future races.

The establishment - both left and right. They've been shown that the people don't want a government that tries to tell them what to want. And now that the curtain has been pulled back on corruption, people will think twice about trusting them. If Trump follows through with draining the swamp, "politician" will no longer be a career, just like our founding fathers intended.

George Soros - this old bastard can keep dumping money into losing battles for as long as he wants, I hope his fortune dries up and his descendants are left penniless and powerless.
