The fundamental issue is this:

Supporters of Hillary Clinton feel they have benefitted under the past 30 years of geopolitics.

Supporters of Donald Trump feel they have suffered under the past 30 years of geopolitics.

Clinton's very real problem is that undereducated white people over 40 have been fucked in the past 40 years and do not understand the nuance and complexity of why.

Trump's very real advantage is that those same people are willing to believe there are simple solutions that are being withheld from them because they've been forgotten by establishment politics.
