FWIW, on the topic of upscale Republican suburbs: Orange County, CA was about 65% non-Hispanic white according to the 1990 Census - and it was still about as Republican as the considerably whiter "WOW" counties in WI are today.
Outside of certain suburbs in some of the larger metros ie. Chicago, Detroit, etc. that were already moving away from the GOP before Trump came along, I don't think most wealthy white Midwestern suburbanites are "trending leftward" overall. To the extent that longtime Republican voters are voting for Democrats, I reckon that's mostly a rebuke to the national party's "Trumpification" and Trump himself. Wealthy/elite Republicans who don't like Trump aren't becoming more left-wing!
