If there is one thing we know for sure it is that Trump always finishes on top.

Supposedly a big kudo but they hated it
His bosses always came for every meeting eventhough he likely could have done better w/o them
She couldn't take the isolated, small town living and they were pretty far from their grandson
Heaved a sigh of relief when he was able to transfer back to DFW area where they lived before

How detailed is that map?
Guess I will go check it out...
I wouldn't call Bentonville isolated or small town - it is part of the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers-Prairie Grove metro area. All of these towns run together and the area is booming in population. As you indicated, Bentonville is the national headquarters of Wal-Mart, which explains some but not all of the growth.

NWA is also a very popular area for retirees.

Fayetteville is the home of the University of Arkansas and the newish Crystal Bridges Art Museum is also in this area. Lots of cultural and sporting events associated with the university are held throughout the year. College football is huge in Arkansas - sooey, go Hogs!

The Ozarks and the Boston Mountains are right next door (parts of Fayetteville are mountainous, in fact), and offer rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking and camping, while the many lakes and spring-fed rivers offer water sports of all kinds. Then there are the caves.

It's a pretty cool area.

Of course, it's not DFW. Many would say thank goodness!

Back to the topic: the map shows each county in the US and whether it went red or blue. There are different shades of each color, and Alaska is gray. I suppose the intensity of the colors has some significance but it's not clear just what - I'd guess the deeper the color, the greater the percentage. Given all that's happened since November of 2016, I think that map would look a lot different now, if people were questioned as to whether they'd still vote as they did then or would choose a different candidate, knowing what they now know.

Supposedly Trump had a framed copy of that map hung in the White House after his "victory".

I would bet that someone besides Trump is paying those fees--
Like all the people donating to his reelection campaign
So deep pockets to keep this hockey puck out of jail til 2020--
They will earn every dollar ten times over if they do...

That's his thing. Haven't you figured it out yet?

What that really means is, Donald Trump has no self control. No matter how you paint that pig, it is still a pig. What you see as him being not politically correct is actually a man who has never learned any of the lessons most people learned about being civil, compassionate, and smart.

Every time he opens his mouth, he puts that size 11 shoe deeper and deeper down his throat.

I saw the interview. I swear I don't understand my own country. We have many of the world's top universities. We produce most of the worlds Nobel Laureates. We have so many gifted thinkers, writers, teachers, researchers and artists. And yet this is the guy who is President. Speaks at an elementary school level, has no intellectual curiosity, and yet still has millions of supporters. Makes no sense.
