Reaction: Thank God the world won't think my state is stupid.

Likelihood: 5%

Dominating! But I'd also wonder why so many happy SD farmers moved to KS.

Kansas is furious at the Republican Party in general right now.

Right, but weren't they in 2014 as well?

The anger has been at state officials, but it's gotten worse.  There's a general sense that GOP policy has bankrupted their state, and not lived up to a single promise made.

I would curse Montana for preventing Clinton from having all of her states in the lower 48 being contiguous.

Would be shocked. I like landslide victories in general, but won't happen. 2016 isn't gonna be a landslide. Neither for TRUMP nor for Hilldog.

That map, minus Kansas, is about what I would expect from a massive Clinton landslide. If it was November 7, and the polls showed Clinton up by 15+ points, I would expect the map to look something like that.

The likelihood of that outcome is less than 1% unless Trump's campaign collapses.

I would have said Kansas was impossible if not for several polls showing it within reach.  Maybe it's noise, but it does seem like there's movement there.
