There is some belief out there that Trump tapped into a previously uncourted portion of the white male vote while many republicans stayed home rather than cast a vote.
A large part of Trump's support was a voter who traditionally does not vote.
It's an interesting political science notation.

Interesting. That statement is 100% opposite what CBC was reporting in the aftermath on election night.
They stated that Trump brought in about the same number of votes as Romney did, but that Clinton brought in about 5,000,000 less than Obama did.
So it isn't that Trump got a bunch of hillbillies to the polls, it's that a lot of Sanders supports and anti-political class democrats stayed home.
