All the more impressive since Trump never campaigned there.
Here’s another link for results if anyone is interested.

If Trump does win HI I guess it will be because of his hotel in Honolulu. He said tonight it helps to have properties in states, guess we’ll see if he’s right.
I was going to answer you on the other thread, but I’ll answer you here.
What do you think will happen if there is a brokered convention?
Do you think that Cruz will be rewarded with the nomination for stopping Trump?
Of course not! Cruz is as hated as Trump is.
And Cruz knows that as well. So why on earth would Cruz play along with a plan that doesn’t give him the nomination and gives it to someone who hates his guts?
He wouldn’t. Trump will name Cruz his running mate, Cruz will release his delegates and endorse Trump. Trump will win the first ballot with over 2,000 delegate votes.
And the establishment? They will have nothing.
Are they hoping they can convince Cruz to play ball? Absolutely. Because they are desperate and have no other move left. But they have nothing they can, or will, offer Cruz that he cannot get for himself.
CNN with 22% in, Trump with 18% lead.
The Trump brand is familiar to Hawaiians, so I’m not surprised to see him win big there.
46.5% Trump
28.3% Cruz
22% reporting
CNN
Huuge lead!
I’m calling the Aloha State now for Trump!
“(yes, I know two precincts mean nothing)”
So what.....GO TRUMP!! ;0)
Asians also poll at 40% with Trump. As well as the cops and military polling well.
Has he lost a state yet where he has a golf course or hotel? Ha
I’m not sure Trump wants to be bound. If he has to, he will probably go that route.
On the 15th, winner take all comes into play.
He’s going to accumulate a lot of delegates then.
You can't possibly be happy that the pure candidate is going to be inundated with GOPe money, and we all know the kinds of strings that will be attached. If you are happy with that, then you cede the argument the Cruz will be, or maybe ever was an outsider.

You can't be serious, he can't win this thing without them, their money, and their strategy. I will be shocked if you believe this will be without strings. Very attached strings.
Maybe they see the pride he takes in his properties, the quality.
A rule to follow is Trump is gonna win any state where people can see his property.
46.5% Who’d a thunk it!!
Hang in there Trump!!
I still can’t shake the image I read that some organization that had “a perfect score predicting presidents.” Their prediction: Bernie Sanders
His property must be on Kauai...
He’s winning by 49 to 20% there.
