Wouldn't it be more logical that a rich college-educated White suburbanite in Atlanta who voted for Romney three times (twice in primaries, once in the general) and viewed Barry O with disgust and switched to Hillary be more racist than a low-middle-income farmer in rural Wisconsin who consistently voted Democrat since Dukakis, had zero desire to vote for either Romney or McCain, voted Obama in the 2008 primary, and switched to Trump because he didn't feel Hillary 2016 cared about people like him?
Yes, Hillary Clinton ran a surprisingly anti-White and anti-American-citizen campaign. It was very stupid of Her. However, it's pretty clear that outright racism as a motivation for voting is very rare, heavily concentrated in the Deep South (see the 1964 election), and has been solidly identified with the GOP since Reagan (see Greenberg on the Reagan Democrats).
Also, Ohio is not a coal state. Think 2012. It's an industrial state with far fewer extreme social conservatives than Indiana.
