Populism, even fascist drift, has appeal when people feel they're down and out. This will be a huge challenge in the coming years, whomever is in power.
Grew up in this area... really steel, rubber, coal and manufacturing focused. They feel like they've been left behind economically and ignored by the progressive agenda whatever that may be. They will vote for someone that sticks up for them and their specific concerns. They feel Obama created even more advantages for OTHER people than them (again feeling left out and that the playing field isn't equal).... so they spite vote for anyone running counter to that.
