He didn't lose the majority of white uneducated voters. He had a higher percentage of the white vote than Mitt Romney.

Yeah, I've known quite a lot of ducks in my time, and they were all pretty vague....

Anyway, that's actually part of the bad campaigning element: they didn't run Hillary on being Hillary, they ran her on her not-Trumpness.
They also ran her almost exclusively as "the female candidate". Vote to get our first woman president! Well, you have to have more than that to get people's vote.

Also, does anyone think the FBI thing was a set-up? It was sort of a sucker punch, wasn't it, just at the right time?

Putin hacking her emails and leaking them was damaging the entire campaign. The last second FBI crap was a total sucker punch.

And in a continuation of the extreme divisiveness of this election, sanctimonious liberals are declaring that she lost because everyone hates women. I've seen people go as far as to say that she's the most qualified woman candidate for president (and yet she lost to a racist rapist, shame on you America!), which is just incredibly insulting to women.

The FBI investigation, no that's an actual thing. The letter (basically a press release) to congress from Comey was definitely a political move on his part.

He won because he won an insane 90+ percentage of minorities in some states or something like that
90 percentage of minorities isn't enough to make a big dent if you do the math. They aren't a big enough portion of the population that voted for that to happen.

I can link you to charts showing that Trump got more of the white votes than Romney. I have done my research and have had this discussion numerous times with different people.

White people are not as much the overwhelming majority they used to be in voting
They still make up 70% of the electorial college though.

Also yes I said duck earlier because my tablet is always censoring me with Damon auto correct

Edit: see it did it again.
No, admit it: you're biased against the fact that ducks, indeed all orinthoids, are unable to make a clear statement. I mean, QUACK? Wtf dude, say what you mean, you feathered ditherer!

Not quite. Nixon beat Kennedy 51% to 49% with the white vote. Clinton beat Dole 46% to 45% in the 1996 election.

Election Polls -- Presidential Vote by Groups | Gallup Historical Trends

And ya, the white vote always ends up going to the right for 3 simple reasons.

1. The Bible.
2. Guns.
3. F*ck helping anyone unless they are white.
