She didn't really 'cede' the Midwest. It was more of an elite contempt. In the days before the general election, Dems in those states were screaming that Hillary needed to fly in and inspire people, there was a real chance she could lose. She was going to jam the election in their faces and prove she could win without them. Fuck flyover territory.
When it didn't work, guess whose fault it was? Hillary's for failing to campaign? Hell no it was those deplorable middle Americans fault for not voting the way the corporate media clearly told them to. They can't even follow simple fucking instructions.
The Clintons incinerated much of their goodwill in the Midwest when they signed on to Bush Sr's NAFTA bill in defiance of the Midwest voter base. They spent the next twenty years just doubling down.
I think she was avoiding the state in large part because she wasn't welcome.
No shortage of pro-Republican corporate media in the Midwest
