Not at all.
But you cannot completely ignore the concerns of the WWC and expect to win the Electoral College as this table indicates.
Sadly, 2016 suggests that when it comes to courting White voters, appealing to their rampant sexism and racism is highly effective. I'm not for a single nanosecond suggesting we do that. But we can support Progressive causes that would appeal to them. Here's a fer instance. You claim "affordable college" is superior to "free tuition" because there are a lot of people with student debt. How about just erasing it for all the people that attended State Colleges and Universities? If you owe a bunch of money to a private college (the Ivys, Vandy, etc.) we use Hillary's plan. If you owe UCLA, IU, Purdue, etc. you owe nothing because just as we did with the banks, we'll print the money to pay the universities off. If you were unfortunate enough to go to DeVry, UoP, Grand Canyon or any of the other diploma mills and you owe them, you're debt free and they can close (they'll get paid back what their "degrees" were worth, IOW). You say all that during the campaign and it will fall upon receptive ears in the MidWest (and the coasts for that matter). Even if you can't pull all of it off, at least potential WWC voters will know you are trying to help them. Why campaign on "It's all pie in the sky (even though your parents had it). I'm going to take your mining jobs away. If you want Universal Health Coverage, you can get it but not until you're 65."?
