This is Michigan; protectionism is a bigger deal here than in many states.
Trump is a wild card in that respect. There are many Perot-ish voters in Michigan, not all of them Republicans, who may still be responsive to Trump's anti-free trade position. Of course, Trump could end up being marginalized in ways other candidates could not be, and lose worse than another Republican would. He's very much a wild card, however, and his (as of now) unique (amongst Republicans) protectionist posturing gives him crossover vote potential in a way not available to the "establishment" Republicans.
