Just looking at Johnson County, Kansas for example. Its a very wealthy County that Democrats last won on the presidential level in 1916. Yet Kevin Yoder lost it in the House race. Kris Kobach lost it in the Gubernatorial race. Almost all the downballot statewide Republicans lost it as well. The Republican Party is quite clearly the party that favors wealthy people, so it hardly makes sense how they did so poorly in places like this. Not that I am complaining (wealthy people who vote against their own economic interests are only hurting themselves, and they are helping other people) but it does seem rather strange.
