Why did both counties swing GOP in 2016? Aren't they mostly suburban?

"Suburbs" didn't swing towards Clinton. Wealthy, highly educated and economically dynamic suburbs, especially those that are relatively young, swung towards Clinton. Pasco and Pinellas Counties are none of these. They're mid-market, low-education areas heavy on elderly voters with little economic vitality beyond the servicing of retirees. Also, both are heavily white (especially, in the case of Pinellas County, for a county that contains a mid-sized city with a large minority population).
Ahh, I wasn't aware they were lower education areas.
