I think that Hillary should have called Trump's platform "deplorable" rather than his supporters. She could have easily made the argument about his platform being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc, and then said something like, "I'm not saying that Trump's supporters or Republicans are prejudiced, but by supporting Trump and his platform you are complicit in the promotion and perpetuation of these prejudices whether you agree or not."
Should have attacked the politics, not the people.

She did. It's called the alt-right speech. It barely worked.
She has nothing to lose by calling them deplorable because they hate her anyway. And I think that is more effective because attacking him seems like politics and blaming him for the direction of the country. Blaming his supporters show that the problem isn't Trump and that even if he loses, the movement will continue. You call our their bigotry, u get outside people to see the bigger picture.
What's worse? Trump supporting Nazis and KKK members or letting the people know that there are still people like that hiding in plain sight in 2016.
