Most who get re-trained aren't willing to re-locate, so that's another big problem.
New industries, particularly in alternative energy, need to be built. That's something both Obama and Clinton have spoken about, along with promoting tech entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, Trump speaks in very vague terms ("We're looking at jobs--big league jobs."
and hints at bringing jobs back from overseas, which is not going to happen (unless we completely do away with labor standards, the minimum wage, welfare and corporate taxes).
The notion that Trump's economic message is more accurate or more substantive is absurd. And Clinton did much better among those most hurt by the recession.
The reality is most Trump supporters aren't going to vote for a Democratic candidate no matter what. Racism, sexism, xenophobia, heterosexism and Christian supremacy take precedence for millions of people who live in an alternate reality. They cannot be reached. Dems will never achieve 100% support.
