65. If he ONLY won in the crown Repub jewel of TX by NINE

Jun 2017

There is NO WAY IN HELL she lost the historically official swing states. No way in hell.

In the 30 yrs I've lived in TX, no matter the outcome of the overall POTUS national results, this was one of the narrowest Repub wins.
I looked back at the general election results on the SoS website just now. You have to go back to both of President Clinton's elections to get down to low single digit losses. After that, it's all mid teens to 30 percent difference. Did that also run thru Trump's mind? How close the race was in TX when Pres Clinton ran? Given how narrow the polls were pre election in TX this time around...and there was a Clinton involved now...it had to have had alarmed his campaign.

So what does he do...get the Russians to try hacking blue Dallas County. Send them to ask local Houston election officials if Russian officials there could "monitor" Houston polls (see my other post up thread). Yes, I say HE/his people instructed them. Because how else would the Russian hackers know blue vs red..without help from the campaign itself.
Because, hey, who would question the Repub crown jewel state "going red", right???
