Here are some more numbers for you rube:
Trump’s appeal to white non-college-educated Democrats and independents is clear with even a cursory glance at the election map. Take closely balanced Michigan, which Trump leads as of this writing by 12,000 votes. He carried the state by winning all but eight counties, including historically Democratic places such as Saginaw, Bay, and Gogebic counties. A Republican has not carried the first two since Ronald Reagan in 1984. Gogebic, a 92 percent white county on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, hasn’t voted for the GOP since 1972.
The pattern is identical in other midwestern states that Trump won narrowly. He carried Wisconsin largely because he won ten white, historically Democratic counties in the southwestern part of the state that even Gore and Kerry won in their races against George W. Bush. Most of these counties had not been carried by the GOP nominee since George H. W. Bush in 1988 or Reagan in 1984; Republicans had not won Pepin and Kenosha since 1972. Trump swept Iowa by winning virtually every eastern county, places that had voted Democratic in every election since 1988. Pennsylvania’s Luzerne County last went Republican in 1988, while Ohio’s Trumbull County had been Democratic since 1972.

The fact that Hillary Clinton only received 84% of the vote of self-identified white Democrats means that a helluva lot of these Democrats voted for Trump. More than enough to provide him with his margin of victory in the key states.
To say nothing of the Democrats that helped to elect Donald Trump by voting for Jill Stein, or by sitting on their asses and not turning out to vote in the key states in the numbers they did for Obama in 2012. (Let alone the numbers that turned out in 2008)
ETA:
BTW, I am not trying to present some mirror-image of rube's repeated moronic, ignorant, and dishonest claim by trying to say that the
Democrats are somehow completely to blame for Trump's election....
What I'm saying, (and what the numbers clearly prove) is that there is
plenty of blame to go around...
Every Republican, Democrat and Independent who voted for Trump shares that blame, and every Republican, Democrat and Independent who was opposed to Trump but either voted for a third party or didn't bother to vote
also shares that blame...
