Trump and Texas redistricting

BRATTLEBORO-As I listen to all the reports of what's happening in the Texas Legislature, I keep wondering about what caused President Trump to make such a demand for legislative redistricting.

He needs to win, and he doesn't think he can unless he forces additional Texan votes. He has no faith in an honest election. Poor man.
