I don't think anyone actually said EVERY Trump voter is a poor dumb bigot. But when your support starts there with its biggest support and spreads from there, it does make you wonder.

Who Are Donald Trump's Supporters? - The Atlantic
Well-educated Conservatives are largely rejecting Donald Trump... that's where he gets the least amount of support. And yes, Trump does play well to those who are tired of the GOP establishment, but I wonder why that really is? Trump has publicly backed high profile Democrats in the past. Now I'm supposed to believe that he has broad-based support from many different factions of the party?
He does not. He plays well to voters who normally wouldn't vote in a primary because he is delivering a different kind of message, one that supposedly speaks "truth to power". That's not his ONLY support, but when you combine the support of those who don't normally vote with someone who is the third choice of likely voters in a race where just a few percentage points creates massive swings, you get a winner.
