Trump's message to dying ex-auto/steel/coal towns was that he cared about them, he gave them a voice. they were on board for his econ pop appeal, why would some PA hard hat care about illegal immigration? if Trump continues his GOPe-friendly fiscal policies, and the Dems are smart enough to nominate someone who messages economics better than Hillary (doesn't matter if it's a white man, a black man, a woman, etc.), then the blue wall returns

Despite very slow growth or even negative growth in their metro areas, St. Louis, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Cleveland outperform their outlying suburban areas in their attraction and concentration of educated Millennials. Perhaps in part due to their collections of major research universities within their boundaries (Washington University, Wayne State, Carnegie Mellon and Case Western Reserve, among others), Rust Belt cities and metros that are still losing population are able to transform demographically through their attraction of educated Millennials.

if Southern states turn blue via college-educated millennial libs, the Rust Belts can too

Economic populism is the most workable and least divisive shtick that Trump had. Bannon called himself "economic nationalist." yet ljl at Trump bending backwards for the Chamber of Commerce types at the expense of the American worker

Trump is reducing economic inequality by improving wages for workers with only a high school diploma. The Dems' "Better Deal" was to shovel more money at colleges to retrain them in... coding? Green jobs? Who knows.

do you have any actual stories about this happening? ICE going buckwild isn't enough, do Rust Belt workers care about the ag industry being forced to pay higher wages to citizens?

something like a yuge infrastructure plan targeting American workers might help, would be high-profile and give something to retrain Rust Belt types to do. God knows there's no sign of Trump trying that (yet)

Early this year Schumer tried to shove a typically awful infrastructure plan that was just payoffs to government workers. The tax bill will produce more jobs for far less debt than what happened under Obama.

Also the Bureau of Economic Statistics or whatever does actually track wage gains by educational attainment and it's been increasing the MOST for diploma-only proles. Good.

dems are too scared to call him out on the economic nationalism stuff so he'll keep waving the flag and win in 2020 without needing to accomplish anything.

after that the GOP will either have gotten with the program or will collapse entirely on the national level

The Republicans are going to get demolished in 2018 and 2020 no matter what because (1) the Democrats won't be running one of the most unlikeable canidates of all time, (2) the Democrats are going to be fired up and fundraising a ton while the Republicans are beset by ennui which comes from focusing on a massively unpopular tax plan instead of building the wall, etc., and (3) people, everywhere, are realizing how unfit Trump is as President.
