The most striking thing about the exit polling to me is how it shows that the major determinant for white voters was whether one was unskilled labor, in the trades, or in the professions. The unskilled were basically unchanged, the trades went strongly for Trump, and professions were somewhat anti-Trump. Basically, it was people who hadn't prospered the last few decades and yet felt they should have who were unreceptive to Clinton's message of four more years and saw nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain by taking a risk by voting Trump. Having made their choice, it's going to take a considerable dislocation for them to remake it. As chaotic as Trump's Presidency has been so far, there's been nothing that would cause them to rechoose in large numbers yet.

Easy. We wait until they are ready to listen again. At this rate, they will be.
Why will they be? The reasons why they weren't listening to Clinton are unchanged. None of the political circus of the past half year affects the reasons why they tuned out Clinton.

but eventually... and there will be no faces. Obama's policies weren't that much different than what Kerry campaigned on its just that people were ready to listen.

In case you hadn't noticed, the housing market and the rest of the economy imploded in 2007-8. That was why people were ready to embrace change in the 2008 election.
