The only arguments I've heard against Trump from the right that actually make sense are from religious people who disapprove of Trump on moral grounds. They might couch it in different terms, but it ultimately comes down to their belief that Trump is not to be trusted because they view him as immoral. They view everything through the lens of their religion, after all. We're talking about people who would strongly disapprove of everyone on this forum as well.

Obviously I disagree with them but at least that's a concrete reason not to vote for him from their point of view. It's better than the baseless fear mongering all the other anti-Trumpers use.

I apologise if this has already been posted.

The NY Daily News have inadvertently revealed how a lot of people are redpilled about Trump by publishing hate mail they have received regarding some recent anti-Trump articles:

Trump at 48% in Hawaii with 4% reporting.

EDIT 1: 42%, 13% reporting

EDIT 2: 44%, 18% reporting.

EDIT 3: 47%, 22% reporting.

Hawaii results coming in Kauai Country reporting 49.5%Trump

Would the large amount of servicemen on the island influence the outcome of the caucus?

There is a market for a second Trump thread in this forum that only has one summary Trump post per day.

I can't read 15 pages per day.

A Hawaii win would be nice. Good for the narrative when the East Coast wakes up and would wash out the taste of Idaho.

If they're objecting to Donald Trump on the grounds that he's immoral it's difficult to see how the hell they could be voting for Ted Cruz. Or any politician. Politicians serve only one god: power.

You are acting low energy bro.

But serious, it only gets bad on debate and voting days, normally it is under 10 pages per day and can easily just skim it.

The reason Cruz does better then Trump in states in the Central part of the US is due to those people disliking the Federal government, and Cruz says he would abolish the IRS.

Trump is leading in every county in Hawaii so far. Still too early to call it though.
Emancipator 路 2016-03-09 01:52:00 路 #19667
I enjoy 538 on a purely stats basis but reading Nate Silver's comments and listening to his commentaries these past few months get annoying fast

Hawaii looking good. Trump at 46.5% and Cruz at 28.3% with 22.2% of the vote in. Each district has Trump leading so far so it's a likely win. Doesn't mean a ton as far as delegates go, to it looks good to get 3 out of 4 instead of 2 out of 4, even if the 2 you win are bigger states.
Emancipator 路 2016-03-09 01:58:00 路 #19669
If Hawaii continues Little Marco might not end up with any delegates tonight

HighSpeed_LowDrag 路 2016-03-09 01:58:00 路 #19670
Does anyone know if Hawaii has a delegate threshold?

I can't think of a worse story for Rubio heading into March 15 than not winning a single delegate tonight.

And massive fraud. Supposedly 99% of undecided voters in Kansas went for Cruz. That is just not plausible by any stretch of the imagination.

You know when a girl is mad at you but she still wants you, then you use game to say something and she giggles? Kelly just did that, she is like a girlfriend mad at you that still is crazy for you, that smile was real and genuine, look even she looks better smiling.

I think it's completely proportional with no threshold, so he'll get a few. Hawaii has 19 delegates and little marco is at 12% right now. 12% of 19 is 2. Still pretty embarrassing though.

I'm not saying it makes sense objectively. Have you ever looked into some of the crazy stuff some of the more extreme religious sects believe? Or even just some of the stuff in the bible. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Leviticus. Dodgy

I don't want to get into a big theological discussion or anything, but while I believe in God and I am a Christian, I am firmly convinced about 98% of everything in organized religion is about controlling people through a combination of social pressure and fear. So, given that, I don't expect people who fully buy into organized religion to be particularly objective about the world.

As an example, they might consider Cruz morally superior to Trump simply because Cruz is still married to his first wife, and Trump is on wife #3. I bet that fact alone is enough to cost Trump considerable votes. And I think you might be surprised how superficially many religious people view things.

Am I right in thinking that Trump is sweeping all before him in Hawai'i when Cruz has been the only team on the ground there?
Eastside 路 2016-03-09 02:04:00 路 #19676
Trump just jumped up again in Hawaii with 26.7% in. At 46.6% now.

I love that Little Marco will likely get only 2 delegates for the entire night.

BTW: According to a Trump voter in Hawaii on Twitter, the only candidate running ads in Hawaii was Little Marco.

Hawaii is a pleasant surprise.
