The people weren't ready

Right message, wrong time

>despite running on the exact same platform
Trump isn't a christcuck, for example.

Trump is quite a bit more liberal on some things which gave him more of a populist boost, whereas Pat is a paleoconservative that is completely anathema to the left.

I love Pat Buchanan
I've read all his books
I just wasn't old enough to vote for him at the time

Buchanan is more fringe than Trump, also doesn't have the charisma

A FUCKING CROSS

Because burgers are retarded who vote based on memes as opposed to actual policy or platform

>Trump isn't a christcuck
Trump is religious you fucking fedora

>implying
"Nothing beats the Bible, not even Art of the Deal, not even close"

t. Donald Trump

America needed the disaster that is Barack Obama in order to fully appreciate what they are so close to losing.

This.
Also as much as I love Buchanon, Trump has an IT factor, or persuasion technique, or Meme Magic that Pat just didn't have.

USA was still 80% white.

We weren't ready (or willing) to embrace the message.

Buchanan went full cuck and picked a black female VP.

He used the phrase "America First" and at the time, it was concidered Anti Semitic to say that. The only way trump has gotten away with saying that phrase is because people forgot about the America First movement in the 1930's

He got too caught up in culture war stuff and didn't have the charisma to bulldoze the entire media, plus there was no internet to provide alternative sources of news.

Trump is a born salesman. You will be hard pressed to meet someone as good as he is in the public sphere.

Here's the thing - he could've been far left kooky and he could've found a way to sell it to the public. Just be thankful he's mostly sane.

Trump had the biggest and most famous name other than Jeb. Obviously he was going to win.

All these posts have a hint of truth to them but they also all miss the point.

Charisma and strength of character win the day and Buchanan didnt have either. Imagine Cruz with the charisma of Donald. This election would have been over for a month now.

It wasn't time.

The Internet has made a large amount of people immune to the mass media control mechanism (media Jew). They used a lot of the same tricks against Buchanan but Trump has been able to overcome things better in part due to Internet information and also because Trump is a media master.

Didn't have the money
Didn't have the competence
Didn't have Sup Forums & internet sources of info for the population.

>doesn't have the charisma

this. pat always seemed a bit pissed off, and that's just not attractive.

He was challenging an incumbent president.

Remember that in 1992 it was Ross Perot year and he was winning in some polls and he had a few redpilled things going on with him, he was like a proto-Trump and both Trump and Bucanan joined his party at some point.


Then in 1996 it was too passe to be redpilled, and the democrat/republican machine had things put in place to stop them.

Same thing is gonna happen in our days. DONT REST ON THE IDEA THAT TRUMP 2.0 WILL COME IN 2020 IF HE LOSES NOW, GO VOTE FOR HIM YOU FAGGOTRONS OR IT WILL BE TOO LATE

Whites hadn't woken up yet.

Also rightwing people can seem weird; like, because celebrity and the establishment is so leftwing, rightwing people risk being seen as basement-dwellers, that kind of image.

Trump is a socialite celebrity reality-TV star billionaire businessmen; pretty much as far away from basement-dweller as you can get. So he doesn't have that negative image that make people think he's a loner weirdo.

Plus, his personality. His delivery is brilliant.

He kept believing the media wasn't the enemy.
