Democrats' problem in 2016 wasn't that they went high; they simply ran on vague platitudes about America already being great and being "Stronger Together" while not offering a clear vision of how they wanted to shape the country. Clinton did not run an issue driven campaign, while Trump, for all of his bombast and absurd theatrics, ran on issues like jobs, trade, and immigration. Those were his clear issues, and I don't think that Clinton had any issues that were strongly her own.
I understand that there are other elections to look at when analyzing this question, but I don't think it's often the case that going low wins simply for the sake of going low.
