In my opinion and at this time, I truly think that sexism had much to do with Hillary's defeat and racism had much to do with Trump's win. Yes the Americans  had probably enough with the Clintons, but even Sister Theresa could not win the USA. There is no comparison to Germany really. Germany has many socialist policies: healthcare, childcare and universal education in public schools, where their careers begin. Americans are not as advanced in their thinking; they do not grasp that, 'it takes a village'; they have never gotten over the Civil War; they are not into smart women--intelligent women still throw them off, and there is a possibility they do not believe in the equality of the sexes. Their education system is broken. It is sad that as a senior I will probably be long gone before we have equality of the sexes and even in my grand daughter's time there will be problems with this same issue. We are moving s-l-o-w-ly on this progressive thinking.
