This map shows how obsessed America is with Donald Trump

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump is crushing his GOP presidential rivals — both in polls and when it comes to Google searches. On Tuesday, Google Trends published an interactive county-by-county map of US searches for Republican candidates. And Trump, by far, appears to be drawing the most interest in almost every state. His color code, red, sweeps the country, from Alaska to Florida. The one exception to Trump's apparent dominance, interestingly, is in Wisconsin, where local Gov. Scott Walker leads many of the counties. No other Republican candidate holds his or her home state against Trump as clearly.

The overall results aren't necessarily surprising: Trump has had a near monopoly of presidential media coverage and has led in most of the recent polls of the Republican primary. Google pegged the results to the coming GOP debate on Thursday. View the interactive map below:

What about the one for OBAMA in 08?

The one that showed him winning the areas where people live, while McCain won lightly populated rural counties? So the map is mostly red, but not where it counts. What's significant about that?

The one significant thing I see in that map is how the Mexicanized counties in Texas went for Obama. How many more TX counties can we lose to Mexicization before it's Game Over Forever in the Electoral College?

The 2015 interest in Trump by counties, is far far far greater than counties won by McCain in 2008. Apicture is worth a thousand words!
