I don't believe  that that the Midwest voters turned to Trump.  I understand that fewer people in those close states voted for Trump than voted for Romney in 2012.  The problem was that many of Obama's voters in 2008 and 2012 sat home.  A handful voted for Stein, but the bigger problem was that enough stayed home that Trump won Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
