A) Backlash response to SJW culture
B) Wikileaks/FBI
c) Economic woes/Obamacare

I think they all played a major factor, but if I had to rank them, I think I'd go:

1. Wikileaks/FBI
2. Backlash to SJW culture
3. Economic woes/Obamacare

I don't think Trump wins without the Wikileaks/FBI stuff playing the role of the cavalry and motivating the disenchanted R's to get off the couch and vote against HRC.

1. Arrogant Libs talking down to honest, hard working folks.
2. Obamacare- recent hike increases for next year. This infuriated people and it played right into Trumps hands. gift from God!
3. Wikileaks
4. Last, but not least arrogant, evil Hillary. She was her own worst enemy. She thinks we owed this to her!

The foundation of this country, the middle class, was sick and tired of constantly being shite on and shaken upside down like a frickin pinada. Trump knew that and his message was straight to the heart of that from day one.

1) Hillary Clinton

She was an obviously uninspiring candidate who almost seemed to relish reminding everybody that she was part of the "global elite" at all times. Her final evening campaigning was spent trotting out a series of famous hundred millionaire friends.

It was enough to get Republicans all on the same sheet of music when it counted and for Democrats to stay home. Enough independents were willing to roll the dice on a truly different candidate, in lieu of more of the same with the Clintons.

A.

I'm a Democrat, and the party is full of assholes. People don't like to be poked, and Democrats have been doing it for too long.

You absolutely must factor in there hard work (the man's stamina is still mind boggling) and an excellent network and ground strategy. Really, really can't underestimate his criss-crossing the country like a mad man and rallying the masses at high energy rallies.

Trump/Pence did a remarkable job appealing to white baby boomers in the Midwest and Florida.

Toss up IMO:

A) People truly despised Hillary.

B) People found a litany of reasons (Supreme Court, Obamacare, economy, etc.) to motivate themselves to vote this election

Basically, people were motivated to vote this year because they understood the importance of the election, and when they went to pull the trigger, they just couldn't do it for Clinton.

How can you have Russian / wikileaks even as an option?

Had Hillary not been fricking stupid and corrupt what would Wikileaks have found?
