Unless you hate America and you see Hillary being beneficial to the final destruction would anyone vote for her.

The Ruling Elite has failed and deserves to be fired
The only way to fire them is with a firing squad.

You can say that all these societal institutions failed BUT, but from the POV of wealthy all these institutions have been successfully harnessed to provide them with vast wealth pipeline extracted from the paycheck class.
And these individuals, who are they sending the bulk of their contributions to? Big Mouth or Witch of War and Wall Street?

That's not a fair question, because of the answer

They know that so they hide out behind guards, in tinted glass vehicles, on top of towers, on yachts, at offshore secured enclaves where only they can go such as Caribbean islands where they have shell corporation financial services, Monte Carlo, Dubrovnik, Montrose Switzerland, mountain resorts in Colorado.
Not only do they have their own enforcement but they also donate to city and county police.
True, which is why the only successful coups are the ones staged by the military. Imagine if all the cannon fodder decided to rise up against the ruling class like an army of Rambos.

Can you imagine these 9 to 13 year olds that are all pro Trump. By time they are 16 - 19 Trump will be a cultural Icon for them. I can see them sporting some Che line-art like designs on hip clothing in a few years.
This is the demographic to watch in 2020, election regardless of this election's outcome. Even if many in that group aren't able to vote. An impassioned youth has a way to sway the vote. It's how Reagan got elected. If you were a middle child in 1967 you were pretty much forgotten. They were the Republican youth of the 80's by time they turned voting age.
It's a fair question, but there are many reasons why people support Clinton besides "because she'll protect the establishment".
She's running against the biggest clown to ever win the nomination of a major party--that is also a plausible answer.

Not really.
Those blond girls in the duo "Prussian Blue" used to serenade white power rallies and wear costumes with Hitler mustaches. They woke up in high school, and they're now liberals.
The silver lining to america's problems is that
D & R voters had no part in the FUBAR.
DIE R/Ds! Yesterday!

And New Zealand. The ultimate gated community.
Apparently the super rich, Chinese, Russian, Tech, Hedgies, they all smell smoke.
And they love NZ. Jump in the jet and "See Ya Suckers!"

After all, look where Hope got us.
How's it feel 8 years later to have all that "hope" used against us? Trump is right about one thing. It is all rigged, no matter who wins.

The estimable Charles Hugh Smith-
"America's Ruling Elite is freaking out because a significant percentage of the American public is trying to fire them. The Ruling Elite has failed and deserves to be fired, and deep down, they know it--and this awareness of their self-serving failure fuels their panic and their loathing of the non-elite Americans who are trying to fire them."
"Let's review the central institutions of the nation:
1. Healthcare: a failed system doomed to bankrupt the nation.
2. Defense: a failed system of cartels and Pentagon fiefdoms that have saddled the nation with enormously costly failed weapons systems like the F-35 and the LCS.
3. Higher Education: a bloated, failed system that is bankrupting an entire generation while mis-educating them for productive roles in the emerging economy. (I cover this in depth in The Nearly Free University and the Emerging Economy and Get a Job, Build a Real Career and Defy a Bewildering Economy.)
4. Foreign policy: Iraq: a disaster. Afghanistan: a disaster. Libya: a disaster. Syria: a disaster. Need I go on?
5. Political governance: a corrupt system of self-serving elites, lobbyists, pay-to-play, corporate puppet-masters, and sociopaths who see themselves as above the law."
