Did Appalachians vote their economic interests?

I mean, of course I think that they did, and I'm sure a number of Appalachians recognize this (Bevin's loss was in no small part due to his union busting). But as others have noted, Appalachians backed the candidate they thought respected them and their way of life. It is such an insular culture and the Democratic party doesn't seem sure how to speak to localism at the moment.
