Trump's victory has transformed America's political landscape, making states previously deemed out of reach in play for Republicans, particularly in the Great Lakes region.
The GOP’s previous electoral strategies had failed, as Bush's victories could not be replicated after 2008, leaving many industrial states firmly in democratic hands.
Rather than acknowledging their strategic failures, Republicans indulged in myths of their opponents' strength, particularly regarding Barack Obama's unique political prowess.
With Trump, Republicans found a new electoral route, successfully targeting the Great Lakes states where other candidates had struggled, overcoming the long-standing 'Blue Wall'.
