ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. Hillary Clintons campaign strategists look at the general-election map and see a bounty of electoral college votes that are hers for the taking: in Florida and Virginia, Colorado and Nevada all places where Donald Trump has badly damaged his standing with nonwhites and women.
Yet as Clinton plots her march to the White House, there are warning signs elsewhere in states where her campaign is not yet making a full investment. And that has sparked concern from allies who say Trump must not be underestimated.
In Michigan, Pennsylvania and, to a lesser extent, Wisconsin, an affinity for Trumps message of economic populism and nationalism has surprised many Democrats. These are big, industrial states they have carried for the past three decades and where Clinton, so far, has not fully focused.

This is a weakness with a 'national' economic focus that is on globalization for financial centers and a laissez faire relationship with the notion that protecting and developing a domestic economy is undesireable in a 'post-industrial' economy.
The very American orientation that only winners are worthy of investment and that losers should be abandoned is quite alienating for the losers. Failure to recognize that can only be attributed to being 'out-of-touch'.
