Battleground State...KANSAS There are plenty of states that could be used describe what going in this election.. But most leave out Kansas.. Yet Kansas will be the most reflective State of what's happening. The fact that there is questions about Kansas is one needs know.. the question that needs asked.. becomes why there is a question about Kansas? Seriously as what's happening in Kansas when Romney wins the State over Obama by 20 points? And Trump wins the state over Hillary by a little less than that. With LESS being the key word. What actually happens about Trump winning or losing the State really doesn't matter.. It the demographics of the state that matters. there are major urban/ suburban area in Kansas.. Sedgewick county, Wichita ks....... Shawnee county, Topeka Kansas.....and Johnson county. Overland park Ks..... Johnson country one of the most populace, richest, suburb counties in the country. those counties had gone Republican in 2016... with margin from two 2 eight points. The rest of Kansas, rural Kansas, has gone Republican by 60 pts. That ain't going happen this year. Biden will win Johnson County. It's tossup with Shawnee county, and probably lose Sedgewick by less two points. Kansas will be up for grabs because of it. An 8 pt shift in those country.. wipes out a twenty point lead for Trump. With a 60 pt lead in the "other" counties.. the difference can not be made up. Even though he will win the other counties substantially.. i doubt he can maintain a 60 point lead. Maybe more like 40 pts Th election in Kansas is going to be real close. Besides all that .. they are not talking about it.. and the Democrat are spending 10 times more money in Kansas than Republicans. |

I know that WINNING is all that may seem to matter.. And being CLOSE only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. but not this year in KANSAS.

In the first Civil war Kansas was the main battleground state..It's ironic that 160 years latter it would still be one. To explain some numbers.... Johnson county, Kansas in 2016 represented more than 300, 000 votes. and 1/5th of the entire population of Kansas .. there are 105 counties in Kansas,, yet three counties represent half the population.. Most of 105 counties in Kansas represent 10,000 votes or much less. Johnson county, The largest in the State and 1/3 of the entire vote. and twice as many votes as Sedgewick and Shawnee county.. Johnson county Kansas is almost 100% suburb. At least 50% immigrant from other states and countries, RICH, and well educated, and dominated by woman. they say in Kansas.. "real men" don't live in Johnson County.. Yet Johnson county Kansas has NEVER been considered liberal. Get the picture? But Republican need to understand.. if johnson county turns on you..you're done. In 2016 Johnson county voted for Trump.. But Johnson County turned on Governor Brownback,, and Kansas elected a Democrat GOVERNOR.

Ask leaf.. leaf grew up in Johnson Country.. Leafs liberal persuasion..prevented him from ever coming back. Leaf hasn't been here in awhile.. and doesn't believe what i'm telling you. but can substantiate the facts. Johnson county once made Orange county, Calif. look like a socialists stronghold. I lived in both places.. The only difference between Johnson county and Orange County.. Is Johnson County was never corrupt. Only their staunch conservatism corrupted them.....but they knew the difference.
