This is an extremely radical shift in US politics. The Dems lost ALL of the former union vote. The title of this election should really be: The Rust Belt Strikes Back. With the Boomer generation of FDR dems pretty much dead, these blue states filled with ignored union voters who typically always go Dem have revolted. As I saw someone Fox News say, the Dems nominated an elitist when the country wanted a populist.
Maybe America isn't so great right now with Obama as the plurality of people here in GAF thinks. (I'm not in US).
No ofense to Hillary supporters, but clearly there's a lot of people in the country that isn't happy with the current America,
