We aren't dealing with anything "normal" - at least as we used to know it - when it comes to politics in the good old U.S. of A. Past rules do not apply, imho.

Although the president's home state of Texas would lose several installations, including the Ingleside Naval Station near Corpus Christi and the Red River Army Depot in east Texas, the state registered a net gain of 6,150 military and civilian jobs, with several Texas installations targeted for expansion.
Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, would be one of the biggest gainers with an expected influx of 11,354 military personnel, many of whom are expected to come from the downsizing of U.S. bases overseas.
Florida, where the president's brother Jeb is governor, would pick up 2,757 civilian and military personnel, largely through expansions at Eglin Air Force Base and Naval Air Station Jacksonville, in spite of the loss of 1,579 personnel through reductions at Naval Air Station Pensacola.______
