It was not one thing. It was a combination of:
Clinton being seen as frighteningly dangerous by those that understood the magnitude of here security breeches.
Clinton being seen as the embodiment of a corrupt Washington establishment.
Clinton having a reputation of never telling the truth.
Clinton being a dull candidate.
Failures of Obamacare.
Failures of Obama's economics and how they affect workers.
Divisiveness of Obama's identity politics.
Increase in racial violence under Obama's watch.
View that Obama's international policies, particularly vs ISIS have failed.
View that Trump represents a real change in the way the Washington establishment does business.
A feeling that the US will be far safer with Trump at the helm, than Clinton, given her failures in Benghazi.
A view that Trump will create jobs, and protect old line jobs from globalization.
A view that Trump will give Americans the kind of pride in being an American that they haven't had since Reagan.
Racism has nothing to do with it.
