Mitchell was one of a number of smaller eastern Iowa counties that voted Democratic in presidential elections from 1988 to 2008, then we fell for Trump and his MAGA message  The county went from a 3.4 percentage point advantage Obama in 2012 to a 24 percentage point advantage Trump in 2016.  That's quite the swing.
