Looking back at it, the turning point of the election was Bernie Sanders' comeback win in Michigan.
Clinton had a 20+ point lead in the polls. And only one person predicted he would win Michigan based on social media trends. It showed Clinton had MASSIVE problems in the midwest and that the anti-trade message was catching on.
Sanders would never get a win as crazy as that one, but the message was clear. The war to 270 wouldn't be fought in Colorado, Nevada, or Virginia like the Democrats thought. The war to 270 would would be fought in the midwest.
Neat fact: Senator Sessions endorsed Trump because he thought he'd have the best chance to win the midwest, and thought Cruz had no chance to win the midwest.
Walker and Santorum knew the election would be won in the midwest. Bush and Rubio on the other hand wanted to try and get 270 the same way Dubya did - through Virginia/New Mexico/Colorado/Nevada, etc. etc.
