I'm not probably qualified to speak to paper specifically, but I think the key Trump advantage in all of the areas you've highlighted are centered around culture. Not so much identity politics, but the idea that Trump spoke like one of them, sounded credible on business, and was saying the right things on trade and immigration. Combine that with the strong negatives Hillary carried, and these regions were the most ripe to be flipped.

The future for Trump and the GOP in these areas depends on a) how successful they are in protecting jobs, or at least looking like they are, and b) who the Dems nominate, and how successful they are at criticizing Trump. Also, these people probably dump Trump if he looks corrupt. Finally, it is very important to remember that even with these pretty massive swings, Trump barely won WI, MI, and PA. He will have to be very successful to hold on to these gains, let alone expand on them.
