Third option. Obama-Trump voters are (according to studies carried out by Democratic officials) primarily working class whites situated in the Midwest. Romney-Clinton voters are usually more affluent (a study found that the largest Romney-Clinton swings came from homes that had a much higher median home price than the national average). These voters tend to be lifelong R's who voted republican downballot and just didn't like Trump in particular.

I wouldn't ignore the sunbelt (the growth of minorities and to a lesser extent young liberals suggests that it's a future Democratic stronghold) but the trends just aren't quite there yet when compared to reclaiming places in the Midwest.
