You fail to understand or acknowledge something. The Trump voters likely felt the same way.

Here's the unavoidable fact - the dislike/disapproval rating of both candidates was very high. So you have 2 very unpopular people running against each other. Someone had to win.

I am surprised she lost Florida, nearly shocked she almost lost Virginia, extremely surprised she lost NC, and downright stunned she lost PA, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I am going to continue to say what I've said for over a year - despite every conventional advantage and despite a DNC pulling every string, she was a horrible candidate. Put a bad establishment candidate in the political ring with a bad non-establishment candidate, and considering the frustration of the country, this result should not come as a surprise.

I've said before, I do not like Trump one bit. I hold the RNC accountable for not waking up years ago, and I hold the DNC accountable for pushing and promoting a candidate whom people sharply mistrust. Last night I spoke on the phone with someone who has ripped Trump voters on social media, but has acknowledged that the Ds made a major miscalculation in trying to coronate HRC, and that the DNC is no better than the RNC. I asked this person if he/she would consider sharing the latter points of view on social medial - the person said no. That conversation, in microcosm, represents the quintessential flaw of typical HRC-supporter (not willing to make admissions), and offers explanation why they lost.
