So, from a tactical point of view, I think you've certainly pinpointed the fact that independent voters in Midwestern swing states broke from Trump, and that this was the immediate, proximal cause of his win.

But that doesn't mean that I have any sympathy or respect for those people or their choices. Their choice was certainly wrong and they were bad people for choosing that way. And from a strictly tactical point of view, I don't think it necessarily follows that being nicer to those people is the only way to win. I think, in general, standing up for what you believe and getting the people who are your base to turn out for you is probably a more effective strategy. It certainly worked for Republicans.
