I'd love to see a source for this.

My prediction before the election would be that Trump would win BIG based on all these performance indicators. Approval rating, enthusiasm, voter registration numbers, etc. The ONLY thing that would cause him to lose would be rampant cheating. Which is EXACTLY what happened.

I know that Trump got 9 of the 10 bellwether counties, and Republicans swept the 27 "tossup" house races.

I can't speak as precisely about demographics and base turnout, but his base was frigging HYPED for this (and the enthusiasm gap was super real), and I think I remember hearing that Trump got a very high percentage of the black vote relative to how Rs normally perform (something like 4% up to 20%).
