Speaking as somebody who lives in a Romney-Clinton county and district with Romney-Clinton voters in his social circle, here's what I've noticed about them:

1. They didn't like Trump because he was too populist and not conservative enough.
2. They thought he was too uncultured and stupid. Or just because they thought he was an ass (women especially for this reason).
3. They thought he'd damage the Republican Party and conservative movement if he became the face of it and there's no question that as President he would become the face of the Party and movement. (Ben Shapiro's argument)

1. Xenophobia doesn't tend to resonate with educated people.

In my honest experience, educated people are usually just smart enough to keep their own personal biases and prejudices to themselves. Upscale college educated places can have nasty histories of racism. My hometown has that kind of ugly past.

I suppose a college degree and more education can make people slightly less racist and biased, but it's overstated.
