Here's the kind of thing I'm talking about

Hilary's Basket of Depolrables speech 2 months before voting

> you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. (Laughter/applause) Right? (Laughter/applause) They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people – now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks – they are irredeemable, but thankfully, they are not America.

She's talking about more than 30 million voters there. She's actively rejecting them, and criticising Trump for engaging with them.

This is how you lose votes by default.
