To your point about Sanders, I think he would've carried Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. He's a far more likable candidate, more popular with millenials, even and did not have the baggage that Clinton had being tied to NAFTA.
To beat Trump in those States you'd only have to swing about 100k votes. I think both Sanders and Biden (who is from Pennslyvania) would've done that without much fuss. Clinton has always had problems in these States, she showed weakness in the Rust Belt and states like Iowa against Obama in '08 and again against Bernie in 2016 (who shouldn't have even had a chance).
Truth is though both parties lie to this group, those jobs are never coming back because there's no reason for any corporation to hire Americans to do those jobs when 10 people in China are willing to do the same job for 1/8 the salary and no vacation/dental/medical pay on top of that.
My broader point about that list is the majority of Americans generally speaking embrace ideals today that the conservative movement has basically been on the wrong side of for 20+ years now. And that's not changing, every 4 years, more and more old people die off.
Trump's VP pick is also notoriously anti-LGBTQ, he's supported "conversion" therapy which is basically sending gay kids to a camp to try and "convert" them to being straight (not even joking, this is a thing).
Another two I forgot to add to my list
7.) Vast majority of Americans support tighter gun control and background checks on people purchasing fire arms.
8.) Most Americans support raising the minimum wage.
Again, if we made elections actually about issues, conservatives are on the wrong side of the fence on a lot of the core issues.

Its like you didnt even research Trump at all. He won his campaign on the idea that he will fix the trade deficit with china and bring manufacturing back to the US through the use of trade deals, tariffs, and taxes.
Trump won the election on the issues that matter, economy, and national security.
All your "facts" are assumptions on what you think the people want.
If people wanted a higher min wage they could do so, each and every state has the option to do so. Look at CA on the way to $15
If people wanted gay marriage they can do so. Each and every state can make its own choice. Each and every state has had the opton to do so but the people havent had will or care to make it happen. 37 States have made their will clear
If people wanted tighter gun control each and every state has that option.
Just because some states with big cities want things does not mean the American people want those things.
Another thing Trump campaigned on, the states having more say.
