Trust me, no part of me thinks Trump is the answer and I wouldn't have voted Republican. I just think the blame game is going in all the wrong directions. Insulting those with differing views or blaming the media isn't constructive reflection of a night that went horribly wrong in my opinion.
She did have a policy and yes it did fall on def ears because she used too big of words and concepts for the large dumb population, whereas Trump's biggest word was tremendous (also his most favorite) and had no concepts for people to get behind.

Look at the Saudi crisis debate. Clinton said she would air strike Mosul, ground troop Bagdahdi, and delivered some pretty good detail. Trump said he doesn't get why Obama goes on TV and gives the enemy a heads up by telling them he will strike leaders in Mosul. He then says, "trust me, I got 200 generals who support me."

I'm sorry, but maybe Clinton was "elitist", or maybe the voters are just dumb and were all left wondering how an educated women lost so many votes to a buffoon, so we're scrambling for excuses like elitism.
