This country was founded for everyone, not just the educated. Talk to a dairy farmer in Wisconsin or an electrician in North Carolina then talk to a hedge fund manager in New York and you'll see who really knows more about the lives and hopes of normal Americans.
Donald Trump was inspiring and he's an outsider which is who we need. I'm sure Hillary Clinton is intelligent but she's as inspiring as watching paint dry with the charisma of spackling compound. Bernie Sanders is a crotchety old man but at least he's interesting.
I couldn't agree with your final statement more. Hillary was; as Trump would say, "Low Energy". She has a long career and resume to run on, but your average voter general knows jack shit about what any of that means. I'd be shocked if half the country knew what the State Department's job was, be they your average Dem or Rep voter. I'm impressed when I ask people what the 3 branches of govt are and they can name 2. If it's not a buzz issue, it might as well have never happened, and the only buzz issue surrounding Hillary was the email investigation, which obviously wasn't helpful.
Trump sucked all of the oxygen out of this election. It was all him all the time, unless it was about emails. The only advantage to running Clinton over Sanders was the giant stack of cash she could raise, which turned out to be no advantage at all.
