特朗普能夠「爆冷」勝出大選，可謂完美演繹了其陣營選前策略部署。他們自知在民調中處於劣勢，除了須贏得主要游離州份外，還要寄望拿下部分屬於希拉里陣營的「防火牆州份」，於是變陣突襲，一舉奪去部分民主黨票倉，再加上拿下幾個重要游離州份，最終得勝。另外，按經費計算，特朗普平均在每名投票給他的選民身上花費少於5美元，顯示其競選活動效益奇高。

South Carolina has long been seen as a firewall state for establishment candidates, who sometimes struggle in the first two primary contests. That still looks true. Though if an insurgent wins there in February, it really will be time to panic.
