The question is whether she lost because of the "deplorables" comment and the polling doesn't come close to showing that. I don't think anyone's arguing that it helped her to point out that a large percentage of the electorate is deplorable, but it's not the point where she lost.

Given the closeness of the numbers, it's impossible to isolate any one factor. But it's bad politics and (for me just as important) a bad understanding of racism to talk about deplorables.
