Trump did very well in Native American counties out west.

Hispanics in New Mexico were not Hillary fans, and many apparently voted for Johnson.

North Dakota swung hard right.

So was Trump's modest Texas margin really due to any demographic trends or just to a sizable number of NeverTrumpers (i.e. suburban, educated, and fiscally/economically conservative)?

A mix of both, but if we look at county level returns, it appears that many Texan Latinos that traditionally voted Republican voted Democrat, combined with increased registration and turnout levels in heavily Latino counties....

Yet the Rio Grande Valley swung fairly heavily toward Trump.
