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 bafoon, so we're scrambling for excuses like elitism.

You know, after the provincial election I railed that the people that voted for the NDP were dumb, a statement that I made out of anger, and I was counciled by a very learned fish that I was being idiotic and foolish, he said it in a much more direct way though.
By merely dismissing people that voted for Trump as dumb or miss informed people are missing the key point of this whole exercise and that's understanding why the people voted the way they did.
If the left or the democrats merely dismiss this results as the voters being dumb, or lazy or misinformed, they're going to doom themselves to losing again and not fixing the mistakes that were made.
Voters aren't dumb, they have their reasons for their votes.
