Both times, the Republican candidate didn't break 60% among this demographic (though in 2012, Romney did do just that among white men).
And of course, being married to a white man, being highly religious (especially evangelical Protestant or Mormon), being economically well-off...all increase the chances of white women being Republican by a considerable amount. But even then, it's not an absolute rule-there are always plenty of exceptions that vote Democratic! 
By contrast, Obama won 97 percent of the votes of black women in 2012. Now THAT's closer to an absolute rule!
