Typically, Democrats have been closer to supporting the working class and the Republicans have been closer to Wall Street.
Clinton ignored the suffering of the working class calling many of them a "basket of deplorables". Instead, she would take $675,000 for 3 talks to Goldman after many Americans had suffered from the housing crisis. These "deplorables" as Clinton would call them helped to win Trump the election.
Sanders had 85% of the youth vote but instead of changing her policies to reflect Sanders she criticized Sanders. Even after BrExit, which reflected the suffering of working class in Britain, Clinton still did not understand and have sympathy for the working class. So, the working class, "the deplorables" voted for Trump.
