The very thing that voters seemed to (wrongly) punish the Democrats for.

You’re missing the point he perhaps didn’t explain them cogently to you he obviously managed to resonate with a degree of the population and he obviously resonated more strongly that KH did to the electorate
This btw is a view shared with me talking to colleagues in the US (supporters of both parties)
The other view which seems to be held is that a section of the population aren’t aware of the world outside of America and that they see things such as the economic downturn and cost of living as something that happens only to them.
