I think people could be persuaded to overlook the negative Silicon Valley sentiment if they believed the candidate knew how to make money and do good deals and improve their lot in life. Pretty much the "Yeah but..." argument I have heard from people who voted for Trump.
The press is doing a good job of highlighting the shortcomings and flaws of the Silicon Valley elite, but enough voters in the right places have shown they don't trust the press.
Of course, anyone coming from the Silicon Valley elite is going to have answer the question of how they are going to create new jobs... which would be interesting to see.

Of course but I don't think they can convince the average voter - they have been concentrating huge amounts of wealth in a couple of cities. Why would I trust them to be able to spread the wealth?
