Hillary Clinton just couldn't hold onto the Obama coalition. And that proved to be a large part of her undoing.
African-American, Latino and younger voters failed to show up at the polls in sufficient numbers Tuesday to propel Clinton into the White House.

The fact that Trump outperformed Mitt Romney’s performance with Hispanics and (slightly) African-Americans, in exit polls at least.
The fact that she didn’t excite millennials as Barack Obama had (Trump’s percentage with them matched Romney’s in exit polls, so maybe they were still Feeling the Bern and went third party).
3)
In the end, Hillary Clinton became the face of a corrupt, arrogant and out-of-touch Establishment, while Donald Trump emerged as an almost perfectly imperfect vessel for a populist fury that had bubbled beneath the surface of America.
There is clearly much to fear from a Trump presidency, especially coupled with continued Republican control of Congress. Trump and many Republicans have denied the reality of climate change; they favor more tax cuts for the rich; they want to deregulate Wall Street and other powerful industries – all policies that helped create the current mess that the United States and much of the world are now in.

both states showed this same pattern for Clinton: big losses in rural areas, compared to 2008, with little or no gain in cities to offset it. Of the approximately 5,500 precincts between the two states, over 1,000 saw the Republican vote share increase by more than 10 points from 2008. Mere dozens saw a similar shift in favor of Democrats. This, and all other results we include here, are preliminary, and in the case of precinct-level data, only reflect in-person Election Day votes.
