No one is shilling and the white working class is made up of mostly good, decent Americans whose life have been ravaged and they are angry and scared. Hillary didn't talk to them. Trump, as much of asshole as he is, DID. She barely campaigned there. He DID at lot. He came to Maine several times. She didn't come at all, and he won northern Maine.

She was running ads about child care, and he was running ads about creating jobs.

She and her team fucked it up. Plain and simple. Yes, there were other reasons why she lost, but she lost in the rust belt and deserved to lose there because she took those states for granted. Now, live and LEARN.
