Hillary Clinton Lost To Donald Trump: Here's Why
If you think Trump was elected because of racism, bigotry, prejudice, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc., you’re living in an alternate reality. While some of these things certainly exist, it’s on a smaller scale than Democrats believe, and it wasn’t enough to swing the election. The real reason Donald Trump won is because Hillary Clinton lost.
Most everyone can agree that Donald Trump was not the ideal Republican candidate. The man is deeply flawed. But, so is Hillary Clinton. But, so are we. No one is good, not one. Whether Clinton or Trump is the better person is debatable, but in the end, what matters, is that Hillary Clinton, as a candidate, is the more deeply flawed.
How? Let me list some of the reasons:
Trump wants to build a wall. Whether practical or not, the message is that he will work to keep illegal immigrants out, and deport the illegal immigrants that are here. Democrat’s refusal to distinguish between legal and illegal hurt them.
Trump wants to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the country. He wants to make sure they’re properly vetted. When 99% of terrorist attacks are caused by Muslims, this is common sense; Ismlorealism if you will. When a candidate refuses to acknowledge terror attacks for what they are, it shows a lack of concern for American lives and security.
Trumps wants to make American great again. Once upon a time, American was looked up to in the world. Now we’re frowned upon. It’s time to reverse that. Many people want a President that likes this country, instead of one who appears to not like it. They want a President to look out for the citizens of this country, after all, the position is President of the United States, not President of the United Nations.
These issues were a big deal, but should not have been. The insistence of Democrats that they have to have it all or have it all, probably helped drive voter turn-out against Hillary. Here are more reasons people didn’t vote for Hillary:

Hillary Clinton has been part of the political establishment for 30 years. Trump was an outsider.
She’s a Democrat. This isn’t getting a lot of coverage, but she’s not the only Democrat to have lost in this election. Democrats lost ground across the country, presumably for their platform.
Obamacare is not popular, and is on the verge of imploding. It’s poor legislation that was crammed down America’s throat. Millions of Americans want it repealed. Trump said he would repeal it, she did not.
Hillary supports late-term abortion.
In fact, Hillary’s support for late-term abortion may have energized Evangelicals.
She lost due to a backlash against political correctness.
She lost due to Obama’s executive overreach.

If you think gay rights don’t trump religious rights, your vote probably went against the Democrat Hillary Clinton. Many voted against Clinton because liberals and progressives think it’s okay to force Christian bakers, florists, and photographers to provide services for events they disagree with.
There is a perception that the government, especially the current Democratic administration is corrupt. There are too many scandals, and too many people pleading the Fifth on things like: Fast and Furious, IRS Targeting, and most recently Loretta Lynch on the Secret Iran ‘Ransom’ Payments.
Democrats have a reputation of resorting to intimidation and violence. Project Veritas appears to have proven this to be true.
