There's also group 3, the largest group of all. Those whose jobs have disappeared. Coal miners, whose industry is disappearing and not coming back. Farmers, who can't compete with the big factory farms. Rust-belt manufacturing jobs replaced by automation far, far more by off-shoring. And by non-unionized workers in the southern states.
Neither candidate had a solution. But Trump promised one while Hillary didn't. Hillary merely lacked the honesty to address the fact that there were no easy answers, while Trump simply lied and lied and lied.
Trump ran a miracle cure scam. Those whose doctors whose told them that their cancer is terminal, know that the scammer's "cure" is unlikely at best. But they have nothing left to lose, and maybe they'll get their miracle. (Meanwhile Hillary was a real doctor, but who wrote off the patient and stopped taking their calls.)
Group 3 will continue to support Trump for a while, because false hope is better then no hope at all.
