the notion that that comment had anything to do with hillary losing the electoral college is hilarious. i bet not a single person was like 'i have no idea who to support, but clinton called trump's supporters a name, so that's why i'm going to support the guy who hates brown people, mocks the disabled, doesn't release his tax returns, and walks into teenagers' dressing rooms to watch naked girls'. you snowflakes just don't want to hear how deplorable you are, so you have to pretend calling you that swings votes, lol.
This specific comment might not have been the reason why Clinton lost the EC, but the mindsight behind this comment was.
The contemporary Democratic party feels nothing but deep disdain for rural and/or socially conservative people, for their values and their way of life. Similar story with Obama's "they get bitter and cling to their guns and religion"-comment.
But keep telling to yourself that those voters who cast their ballot for Obama in 2012 and then defected to Trump in 2016 did so because of racism if that makes you sleep better at night.
