The very definition of a demagogue - speak to fear, irrational or not.
That's the base. People who's one job was the factory, that factory is gone. Trump is shouting that he'll bring those jobs back. Now that may be ludicrous but Hillary is proposing what? The government has to find a solution to get these people caught up to technology or else Trump's ludicrous talk sounds better.
