The most SHOCKING Clinton county in 2016

[Calthrina950]

its not a clinton county but it was close. It hasn't voted democrat since 1916 but Clinton only lost by 2.
Johnson county Kansas. Its an 87% white county but is suburban so it had a massive swing to Clinton in 2016. I expect it to flip in 2020.

Agreed. Laura Kelly beat Kris Kobach by ~20 points in Johnson County, if I am not mistaken, and Sharice Davids carried it decisively over Kevin Yoder. Given these results, and given that Clinton only narrowly lost it in 2016, I expect it to flip, particularly if someone like Gillibrand, Klobuchar, or Harris is the Democratic nominee.

One other shocking county might have been Deer Lodge County, Montana, which hasn't gone Republican since 1924. Clinton won it with only a plurality, and it would seem like a county that would be responsive to Trump.

And indeed it did. Biden won it by 8%.

That's a big margin.

I would say so, particularly for a county that hadn't voted Democratic in a hundred years before 2020. Johnson County is gone for the Republicans at the presidential level.
