I dislike any suggestion that Trump supporters are all backwoods hicks as a way for Democrat supporters to deflect the failings of the Democrats to address the rejection of the political elite from both sides of the spectrum
It's entirely possible for both to be true (Trump matching Romney but getting far more infrequent or first time voters and less frequent voters), it'll take a while for the analysis to really tweak out the true numbers since a lot of the first-blush analysis is based on exit polls, and the exit polls were very wrong about the results so it's possible they're wrong about some of the details.

What the results will eventually show, what we like, and the narrative assigned to the results are all separate things.
