My main objection to the Wear interview is that another person is trying to find THE REASON why HRC lost.  The reality is that there is not a SINGLE reason but MULTIPLE, and sometimes conflicting, reasons.

Trump was willing to play to people's desires as to what he will be able to do.  These people did not want to dig deeper into his statements, because to do so would have exposed him as the man behind the curtain with no real power.

As one example, Trump said that he would bring jobs back.  If one was to read conservative sites, like RedState, one would see articles that indicated that he might bring the work back, but not the jobs.  The returning work would be highly automated requiring fewer workers.  Plus, the jobs that are returned(??) may not be in those parts of the country from which they were lost.  Yet did anyone address this likelihood.  

Then there was the headwinds created by decades of right wing noise criticizing HRC for anything that she did.
