That's how much this was a vote _against_ Hillary.

They hated her so much, they voted for an "openly racist, sexist, vengeful narcissist". Let that sink in.

(You'd probably say it is because all those people are openly racist, sexist and vengeful...)

what made America to simly make a blanket statemount about HC that they dislike her. Is it the media just being so loud about few RNC voices?

Honestly, I wanted to know what has made the whole country to dislike her.

She was out of touch with the hardships of Middle America. Globalization has been good to America in aggregate, but has hollowed out the rust belt (which went very much for Trump).

The emails did not help; it made her appear above the law.

Government in the US has been extremely dysfunctional for a while now, and Clinton is the embodiment of the establishment politician. This may explain why so many people were willing to vote for an outsider candidate, despite his obvious flaws.

for me it was the way she talked. like the umpteenth "career politician" who is trying to spoon feed me exactly what baby-food formula her focus groups think I want to hear. We've heard that so many times from so many candidates, that you stop believing it.

What I believe is she is funded by wealthy corporate donors and will always put their needs first.

I voted for trump because "I'm not falling for that again". I'm sick of hearing it, the boilerplate speeches about making things "better" while they go off and do whatever they want once they're elected. When trump spoke, he didn't have that "mask" on, he talks like a real, genuine human being who's speaking from his mind/heart. His crude statements were unfortunate, but those also reinforce that he's genuine, speaking whats inside. Not through a triple-stage reverse-osmosis speech filter scripted by his handlers.

Actually the same happened in my country. I was thinking if this is a property of voting system. I like this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting which theoretically helps to choose compromise candidate for most of the voters. But it is just my opinion I don't know how this works in reality.
