4. There's little or no Austin sprawl affecting Brazos Co., TX, where a good-sized demonstration took place.

Brazos Co. is where Texas A&M is located---one of the most conservative universities in the country. And no Democratic presidential candidate has carried Brazos Co. since LBJ did it, in 1964. And yet a respectable number of anti-trump demonstrators showed up, there. As a life-long Texan, I am both surprised and gratified. Estimated turnout at the Houston demonstration: 26,000.
