Cry bigotry and sexism all you want, but the truth is Trump outperformed Romney with black and hispanic voters. And there is so much more to this election than just that...
The DNC rigged their primary for a less competitive candidate in Clinton.
Her campaign ignored pleas from Democrat officials in the rust belt. They saw the tide turning after Bernie won the Democratic primary. She ignored blue collar workers of all creeds.
The Clinton campaign believed they could shame and ridicule their way into the white house by colluding with the mainstream news media and Hollywood. They belittled the concerns of everyday Americans in the process, and began losing on every issue. It is unsurprising that in the final stretch of the election, the campaign's closing arguments boiled down to little more than personal attacks on Trump's character. Say what you will about him but Hillary did not present an identifiable vision for America outside the rather alarming information one could gleam from leaked emails, which she hardly ever clarified.
As a secretary of state and in her words as a presidential candidate, she was closer to a neo-con than the ultra progressive, feminist icon the left wanted her to be. She destabilized Libya in a George Bush fashion, needlessly creating a power vacuum for ISIS to flourish. And she would've rather destroyed relations with Russia than answer for a single controversy.
She lost this election all on her own.
I think this election proves that the average voter is more perceptive than we would give them credit for, not less.
As a resident of Michigan, I fail to see why I should be shamed for wanting the automotive industry to return to my home state. I fail to see why I'm supposed to vote for my country second, and the world first, when I can't even expect the same of other countries.
