When he comes across as unprepared or failing to understand the issue or policy discussed, they view it as him not being a politician, and they like his ignorance is a positive. Trump won over his supporters by acting like a third world strong man dictator and throwing out empty nationalistic slogans, playing off of the fear and frustration of people. Not to mention playing off of racism and poorly educated and poorly informed voters. I've seen a lot of interviews with passionate Trump supporters who have never voted or paid attention before. These people have no concept of the issues, and are turned off by the policy answer Clinton gives. There were several times she used political terms to explain her policies, and I guarantee many people supporting both candidates didn't understand her point. Even simple things like referring to countries as states. Sure, it is correct and in politics even the preferred term, but she needs to speak to the people. Anyone with a firm grasp of the issues is already voting for her. Keep it terms that have meaning to the common person.

True. But the base is a lost cause regardless. Independents, undecideds and the women demographic is key. In that regard, Trump should be dropping down after last night.
