Oh boy. I'm about to get into a subject I absolutely, unequivocally, undeniably hate...politics. I hate politics. I hate people talking about it. I hate listening to people talk about it. I hate the political culture in our country right now. And to be completely frank, if I am out at a station event and you were to come up to me to talk about politics, I will tell you very quickly and extremely rudely to shut up. I. Don't. Care. about your political leanings. Having said all that, I did find this particular stat sorta interesting which is the only reason I'm writing about this, the 25 Texas Zip Codes That Have Donated the Most Money to Donald Trump.

Campaign Fundraising

Political candidates have to raise money from supporters to carry out their campaign. They use that money to buy advertising or yard signs or billboards or some will just put it in their pocket, which is illegal, but some do. Personally, I don't donate to any candidate simply because I don't trust any politician, and by extension, I don't trust someone who does donate to a candidate or who approaches me unsolicited and starts talking about politics. Do it but don't talk to me about it because I. Don't. Care. Period.

Zip Codes in Texas

I ran across an article from stacker.com that shows the 25 Texas zip codes that have given the most money to Donald Trump's campaign. Not surprisingly, three East Texas towns are in this top 25, Frankston, Hughes Springs and Alba. Actually, a lot of smaller towns are on this list which just proves that small town America does favor Donald Trump more than a Democratic candidate.
