7. Nearby Upstate NY had the most support for him

MAGA is biggest out on the edges of diversifying areas. I had the unpleasant experience of summering in the very SW corner of Ulster county at the foot of the Catskills and MAGA banners were big in 2016. And I grew up down in Jersey near Bucks county, another area with pockets of strong MAGA support. Being a straight white male who dresses conservatively and before 2015 never too pushy about politics I knew he was the front runner from June of 2015 and it was so very hard to get anyone to agree he was in the lead. It felt like watching a train wreck. That said I will suffer from all the chaos tonite as I live three short blocks from Madison Square Garden. I'm deciding to move my car to another area and take transit back tonite to avoid trying to drive back over here.
