3) What would have happened in recent presidential elections if Texas had voted for the Democratic candidate instead of the Republican candidate?
4) Several counties in the Texas Panhandle gave Trump his highest percentage of support in the nation.
5) Not just the Texas Panhandle, but much of the Great Plains gave strong support to Trump as I showed in my Magical Meridian series (about the 100 degree longitude line that runs through the Great Plains)
6) Counties with a high percentage of older Americans gave Trump a lot of support, not only in Texas, but all along the Great Plains
