The vote did not occur in a vacuum.  It's hard for me to believe that the caricature of Hillary that was created by the media was not influenced by sexism.  The fact that Trump was given a pass for all of his bad actions, but Hillary was not, was influenced by sexism.  
I don't think that sexism was the only factor here; I'm not sure if it was the leading one, but iw was certainly a factor.
Since so many people did not vote and since Hillary won the popular vote by so many votes, makes me question the "change" factor.
The fact that there was such a wide disparity between the votes of blacks and whites leads me to believe that racism and xenophobia were VERY important factors.  
I happen to believe that those in the moneyed elites choose to use such tactics to distract people from real issues -- but that's a different conversation.  :-)
