Democrats proposed government providing more free education.  How does that not help the working class?

Democrats proposed tax cuts for the middle class while Trump proposed tax cuts for the wealthy.

So what exactly did the Republicans offer the working class that was better than the Democrats?

To answer your second question, not everyone has the time or capability to learn a new skill. They still have families to feed, for example. Someone who loses their job at a manufacturing plant might not be able to make the changes needed to be productive. With technology advancing at the rate that it is, does it even matter if they were able to? What do you say to the people who lost not just their job, but their town/way of life when their plant closed following trade deals like NAFTA?
