Which never was a real issue. He said it himself, he could shoot someone and people would still root for him. I'm disgusted to even go there, but I think some of his die hard fans even felt encouraged by sexual abuse allegations, making him even more one of them. But that of course doesn't answer why so many women and relatively high earners voted for him.
I tend to think, intellectuals - often used in a derogative fashion these days - warning against Trump made him even more popular.
