Does he HAVE a problem with Trump voters or does he NOT have a problem with them?

I've always maintained that the "desired outcome" of a Trump voter doesn't gel with the "not inconveniencing rich people" part of the GOP economic mantra. Also, most of the promises he made were either never going to happen in the context of a representative government or were logistically impossible.

The way to win, I guess, is to pull up to the voting block and unload a dumptruck of bullshit on them and play to their pet hates, however dishonest and unscrupulous that tactic may be. What was she ever supposed to do to reach these people?
