> It’s also the case that cities in general vote for Democrats even in red states - for instance **Tamerlane** suggested earlier in this thread that it wouldn’t have been surprising for Hillary Clinton to have gotten a third of the vote in Dallas. Except that it would, because it’s been a Democratic stronghold for a long time! She got 60% of the vote in Dallas County and an even higher proportion of the vote from the city proper (the county contains some more conservative suburbs also).

**Tamerlane** suggested that because **Tamerlane** flipped the numbers by looking at the wrong column headers ;). I was looking for the largest city that I thought might have been pro-Trump, turns out Dallas doesn’t qualify( Fort Worth looks closer on second view, he won Tarrant county at least ). Thanks for the correction :).
