    Based on what we learned in the very short window when Twitter let people see location information about specific accounts, I think we can trace a lot of Trump’s “grassroots” support back to Russia.

      Russia has a much smaller economy, not even equivalent to California.

      I think you give them too much credit, Trump even played a rich businessman on TV; he’s an “ideal” Republican candidate (name recognition and for sale to highest bidder)
