Can you name a state Trump won where he didn’t get a majority of Republican voters? I didn’t think so.

The ONLY state in which Trump got a majority of Republican votes was New York. And in New York, the difference between Democrat and Republican is like the difference between Communist and Democratic Socialist. Conservatives in New York belong to the Conservative Party, and could not vote in the primary.

All of them??

Maybe I'm mixing up "majority" with "plurality" though? To my way of thinking, a majority should be at least 40-50 % plus, not 30-35 % of a splintered primary electorate.

That said, I'm sure there are a couple states Trump has won by a reasonable "majority", if not winning 50 % of the votes.

I would state those wins of Trump as being a plurality of VOTERS in Republican open primaries. That takes into account all of the crossover votes. ...NY was a closed primary, so everyone knew Trump would win there. However, both Dem candidates drew more votes than Trump, I think.

Trump, nor any other candidate, has one a state with the majority of Republican voters. Trump has won 14% of registered Republican voters and 61% of registered Republican voters have not bothered to vote.
