Everyone can sandbag on Trump, but this is what it is: An absolute protest vote indicating people are sick of Washington. A vote for Hillary is a confidence vote in the government to continue what it has been doing - Pretty much nothing. They have been a failure for greater than 12 years, perhaps 20 years.
A vote for Trump is not an indicator you are racist, saying that makes it clear you are a parrot, repeating rhetoric that someone in an office is paid to conjure. A vote for Trump can be for many reasons, but most importantly, you are probably sick of Washington.
Alberta basically went through a similar protest vote, and it will hopefully force the losing parties to rethink their approach. This whole situation may help fix both parties.
