I think one of the biggest mistakes was HRC's statement about the deplorables. It reinforced the the idea that politicians look down on ordinary working people.

In fact, HRC told her close staff that she 'stepped in it' with that remark.

They are not deplorables, they are hard-working people concerned for their future.

I personally believe that remark is a major factor is her loss easily as bad as Romney's 47% comment.
