It is not only the white working class - she captures Latinos and Blacks with a lot lower margins than Obama.

You cannot take a person's vote for you for granted. Last week a life long anticommunist in my country voted for the communist candidate - he just said "fuck it, I want to see the face of the ruling party hit the pavement".

And a lot of whites obviously got fed up with being used as an intellectual punching pag

That's the thing that has struck me the most about the Clinton campaign. It's been incredibly lazy, as if Clinton were the anointed one who simply had to waltz to the White House. Not wanting to debate. Not putting in the work of campaigning, at least compared to Trump's marathon schedule. The arrogance and condescension at having to even be involved in the race against her opponent.

To put a word on it, I thought that she felt entitled to be president.

Well, She's not going to get the same energy from black voters as Obama --Obama was once in a lifetime unifying and exciting effect on the black electorate. As for the Hispanic vote, not sure what happened there --except there are more than one kind of person of latam descent wealthy, middle-class, Cuban, Mexican, undereducated, Americanized, some who still feel more Latin American than American, etc.

Blacks are also not monilith block. I can tell you what happened - parts of the communities showed the Dems that they do not protect their interests enough - sadly in two party system this means burning the house to the ground.
