I wish I knew myself. Polling data might suggest what people decided in their secret ballots, but I don't think many pollsters asked what people influenced them. My hunch is MILO's up there in the top 100 influencers of the election, especially among millenials.
I attended MILO's speech at Georgia State University and reported on it in FR (below). He spoke to about 500 students, Georgia party influentials, and curous gray hairs like me:
MILO Pumps Up Millennials For Trump at Georgia State Rally
We can be almost certain that MILO was a bigger vote contributor than CPAC, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Erik Erickson, Hugh Hewitt, Glenn Beck -- in fact, all the Never Trump traitors whose conservative careers died in the Titanic disaster (picture of them in the link below):

The power of MILO was he crushed the stereotype of the Leftist because he's gay. But more than that. His reasoning power and his ability to "edutain" people about politics is extraordinary.
His defense of the unborn was a key message in his recent speech at the University of Colorado. Anybody who has not heard the guy speak at one of the colleges should do so. Yeah, some of his gay jokes disgust me, but once you get over that, he's terrific, IMHO.
And anybody whose opinions and defense of Deplorables stirs up the hatred of so many Leftist is a hero for our cause.
Actually, what put Trump over the top was Trump and more Trump and a truly lousy Democratic candidate. I don’t think Eric Erickson, Glenn Beck or Milo had anything to do with this election. If you enjoyed Milo’s speech more power to you. But I don’t think he had anything to do with this election.
I like that: ‘Edutain’.
Perfect approach to a sector which, sadly, routinely expresses itself within a 140 character limit.
