Perhaps Kansas trended Dem, because its rural areas were already overwhelming Pub, and thus there was not much more juice to get there, to offset the educated white Pub erosion in Johnson County. In other words, unlike in the rust belt, and white working class was already in the Pub camp in Kansas.

Putting that aside, I do notice a swing to Trump in white working class Wyandotte (the one white working class Dem bastion in Kansas), and a swing to Clinton in the SW corner of the state. Is that latter swing to Clinton due to an influx of Hispanics there or something?
