       Batgirl believed / thought that she couldn't lose because Trump looks like an idiot / fool and because of the way he talked / answered during the presidential debates.

       Actually / In fact / Surprisingly / Unbelievably Donald Trump won the election / he defeated Hillary Clinton. Moreover / Furthermore, the Republican didn't just win the White House / the Presidency, they also won the House of Representatives and the Senate, so DT now controls Congress !

       Trump's promises seduced / captured the imagination of American people. Trump also embodied / represented / symbolized strength or power. He was the voice of traditional values. He also had tremendous / great / impressive charisma. He was the « voice of the people ». He represented 'change' because a Washington insider, he was an 'outsider' who promised / pledged to help the victims of globalization, blue-collar workers.

       ON the other hand, Hillary Clinton is a woman, which may / might pose a problem for some people.

       She showed repeatedly that she was not a trustworthy / reliable person because she lied about her emails.

       Besides / What's more, she has been in Washington for more than 30 years / since the 70s, so she doesn't represent 'change', she represented the 'status quo' and that's not exciting. Furthermore, she had an 'image' problem : she looked cold and unfriendly / suspicious.
