Racism + more yellow dogs dying off + Hillary supporters angry that she lost the primary would be my guess.

Mostly this

Now, I don’t think racism is a such big factor, it’s more a cultural thing, Kerry was fairly liberal but he was also a veteran, Obama in the other hand was a big city dweller who mocked rural people who cling to their guns, Obama was really out of touch for rural southern communities

Ah yes, conservative Southern whites have deep respect for soldiers, veterans, and decorated war heroes, including John Kerry /s.

Yeah, it's why dems tend to nominate veterans in tough southern/appalachian districts (Conor Lamb, Amy McBath, Dan McCready, Spanberger, Ojeda)
