Trump won the white working-man vote..

[Jehanne]

Hillary lost because many life long Dems voted for Trump instead of her. Not because more people voted 3rd party.

Actually, 6 million fewer Democrats voted in 2016 than did in 2012.  As all the polls showed Hillary cruising to an easy victory, she turned her attention away from Trump (didn't even mention his name during her 2-minute ad the very night before the election) and a lot of poor people decided, "Hey, she's going to win anyway; I have better things to do..."  Couple this with the fact that many people who were simply too ashamed to admit to a pollster (and/or, their own spouse) that they were going to vote for Trump, and so, the polls were raked-full of bias and inaccuracies.
