PA was a stone-cold purple swing state in 2016 despite the media's delusions. Clinton only led the state by 1.9 points despite a 3.3-point national lead, which was a huge smoke signal that everybody decided to ignore. So I wouldn't call PA an epic fail...it was more like a coin toss resulting in heads.
MI and WI are a bit murkier. Clinton was leading by comfortable margins in those states, but she was also only garnering around 47% in each. Those percentages were pretty predictive of her final results, but she lost the states due to a huge portion of undecideds breaking for Trump.
All in all, I credit Trump for than I blame Clinton for the results in these three states. Whatever your personal opinions of him are, he simply ran a vastly superior campaign to hers. He went for touchdowns while she was kicking field goals, and it paid off.
