    I remember during the caucus there was a very strong anti-Trump atmosphere among Kansans, do you think that has faded?

I didn't caucus with the Republicans this year, so I'm not super in tune with them right now. I'm also not living in a rural area any more. JoCo republicans are pretty different from rest of the state, in my experience.

It it tells you anything though, Kansas wasn't one of the delegations calling for a Roll Call vote to unbind delegates yesterday.

    I ask because as much of a bad taste it leaves in my mouth I feel I should vote for the lesser evil if it's at all possible that she can win.

That statement is more or less a carbon copy of why I don't think Kansas could swing. Kansas Republicans dislike Trump. They hate Hillary.

The only path I see right now for Kansas not going Republican is if Johnson manages to get into the debates and somebody like the Koch brothers throw their weight behind him. Johnson was pulling from both sides pretty equally last time I checked, but there are a lot more Republicans here than Democrates, so he'd probably hurt Trump more than Hillary here.
