A new revelation has emerged from Super Tuesday Republican presidential primaries in the US.
Donald Trump won seven states out of the 11 states in which the caucuses took place. His closest rival, Ted Cruz won three (including Texas, his home state) while Marco Rubio won one.
The interesting thing about Donald Trump’s loss in Texas is that of the five counties won by Trump, four were among the 13 counties along the Mexican border, where Trump has proposed building a wall (which he says would be paid for by Mexico).
According to Bloomberg politics, Trump’s share of the vote in almost every border county was higher than his statewide average. There were only two exceptions: Starr County, where just 121 votes were cast, and El Paso County, where Trump came in third behind Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
