More than half of white women voted for Trump, how could he be sexist?

I'll never understand this.
My best guess is they were voting against an establishment machine that simply expected them to vote for a woman, 'because'.

Sanders may have lost the nomination, but he's been making the Democratic Party look bad ever since, just by talking about the issues and giving his positions.
There's just no one else doing it. It's hard to imagine various voting blocs voting for a party that's unabashedly painted itself as their enemy or another that simply doesn't care about them.
This political cycle is going to be very interesting, indeed.

Some just like assholes. But, maybe just maybe it had to do with a decades long smear campaign from the right on the clintons.

There's that. Some of those smears had a grain of truth and it's plenty clear that she had her corporate donor's interests at heart, and didn't communicate a desire to represent the average American.
Chump did. Many of us knew he was lying. The rest felt that he's a better alternative to what they've seen in recent years, aided by right wing propagandists like Limbaugh and O'Reilly. Some 96% still feel that way, according to a recent poll.
What's the difference between the parties anymore? I can't really see one if they're both bought by the same donor class.
Yes, there's daylight on social issues, but this country is in the midst of a classist economic catastrophe that isn't going away just because it isn't being reported on the nightly news.

No. He's been getting cheered while Perez has been booed at the same rallies.
People are fucking fed up with the Democratic Party business as usual bullshit.

Aaaah, I read it wrong, gotcha!
This "Unity Tour" is hilarious! It shows exactly what you said, how fed up people are with this bullshit. People are beginning to see right through it. Sanders is taking some criticism as well from people wondering why he actually agreed to do it in the first place since they don't believe he has anything to gain and a lot to lose since his supporters might see it as a bit of capitulation. It looks like Perez and the DNC are trying to use his popularity to spread their bullshit establishment message of "TRUMP BAD!!" without actually supporting anything. Use him as kind of a figurehead/puppet to get back in favor with the American people since they're so abysmally unpopular and out of touch with working class Americans.

You are critically naive to the way American politics works
Do you seriously believe corporations hold no political influence? Why do you think corporations spend thousands of dollars donating to political campaigns, both right and left? Why would the same corporation donate to both sides in an election? You can't answer that and you won't even touch it. You'll avoid that question like the black plague because there is no correct answer that doesn't point to political corruption. Donating to the campaigns of both sides shows you it's a political investment. Whichever candidate wins the election, the corporation holds influence in policy. Whichever candidate wins, they win.
So what's your corporate, establishment answer for that?

Show me a single poll that shows the Democratic party is popular or in touch with the American people. Did you see mine? Would you like to again? More people believe Trump, fucking TRUMP, is more in touch with the American people according to the Washington Post. Is that "fake news"?
