Chairman WVOX 1460 AM
Editor’s note: There are many reasons why I enjoy, and appreciate, the thoughts and commentary from Mr. Bill O’Shaughnessy, chairman of Whitney Radio and WVOX 1460 AM radio. First, he is one of the lone survivors of bi-partisanship, and of telling it like it is regardless of political party.
“Mr. O,” as we like to call him, is a supporter of both President Donald Trump and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He endorsed former County Executive Rob Astorino over New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson is 2013, and then endorsed George Latimer over Astorino in 2017.
Mr. O is also unafraid to come out in “deep blue” Westchester County and try to explain why Trump won over Hillary Clinton. We listed his top 72 reasons in 2016 after Trump’s election. In 2017, he increased his list to 84.
Now, O’Shaughnessy gives us his top 104 reasons why Trump won in 2016, and the reasons why he could win again in 2020.
The 104 Real Reasons Why Trump Won & Hillary Lost
It wasn’t the Russians. Here are the real reasons:

The arrogance of the elite and “educated;” Lawrence O’Donnell; Ruth Bader Ginsberg; NEWSMAX; the plight of the poor; concern over Nino Scalia’s successor; incarceration rates for African-American males; Terry McAuliffe; Rudy Giuliani; the “basket of deplorables;” Chelsea’s salary and $10 million apartment; Black Lives Matter; Bill Weld; Frank Bruni, a wonderful writer, who went out of his way to tell us how evil Trump is;
The Clinton Foundation’s foreign entanglements; NFL’s take-a-knee problem; Donny Deutch; every cop, fireman, tradesman, plumber, butcher, truck driver, landscaper, green grocer, fishmonger, heavy equipment operator, subway conductor, baker, sausage maker, school crossing guard, garage mechanic, bartender and taxi driver in America; Hillary and Bill’s speaking fees; Hillary Rodham Clinton herself; Benghazi; Chris Ruddy; Chelsea Handler; Mario Cuomo, who wasn’t around to instruct, to inspire, to enlighten; the genius and smarts of Donald J. Trump; and Trump was very “real” and accessible.
Chris Cuomo said, “The Democrats lost because they were talking about transgender bathrooms… and Trump was talking about jobs.”
It wasn’t the Russians’ fault that Hillary lost and Donald Trump won.
