More of Clinton's voters voted FOR her rather than voting AGAINST.

You might want to brush up on her policy positions as she supported pretty much everything you cited as a real relevant issue.

She lost for two reasons. 1.) Racists came out of the woodwork to vote Republican. 2.) Many WWC and Rust Belt voters believed his lies about bringing the jobs back. What do you think happens to both of those groups when he doesn't racially cleanse the country, does not build his wall and does not bring the jobs back?
