A lot of that is the simple fact that Hillary Clinton was a 69 year old white woman while Obama was a 51 year old black dude. Identity politics (as this election showed) still exist.

Let me just say I am shocked that a campaign would focus on try to win over the viewers of the highest rated scripted dramas on TV.
Even the article you linked to notes there isn't any real evidence that "half" of Trump's supporters were "deplorable".
Hillary Clinton only need to flip about 60,000 votes across the 3 states. I'm not sure you could ever definitive quantify the exact impact, but I think it reasonable to suspect that there were 60,000 people for whom the deplorable remark was either a tie breaker or at least enough of a distraction to pull Clinton off…
The neo-Nazis have been voting for years, though. They have generated more attention this year, but to pretend that they were not a factor before would be to deny reality.

It doesn't mean "half" of Trump's supporters were "deplorable". It is a two party system. Inevitably some people are going to enter into a coalition (even if unintentionally) with people they don't like.
And that is exactly the attitude that helped cost Clinton the election. Even she admitted it herself.
The problem with the "deplorable" comment was she said it applied to "half" his supporters. Yes, Trump got support from white nationalists/neo-Nazis but they weren't "half" his supporters.
