Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

Precinct dump from the Big Island, up to 23/45. I'm going to call it a night. Trump likely has this, he's up by 14. Even if the big Oahu provinces are pro-Cruz, they'd have to be overwhelming to overturn this.

Rubio would probably have done a lot better in Hawaii if he hadn't just cratered in three states when the caucuses opened.

my favorite part of the nyt hawaii map is voteless kalawao county. it's literally a leper's colony
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalawao_County,_Hawaii

quote:

The small peninsula of Kalaupapa is isolated from the rest of Molokaʻi by sea cliffs over a quarter-mile high—the only land access is a mule trail. As of the 2010 census, the population was 90, making it the least-populous county in Hawaii and the second-least populous county in the United States after Loving County, Texas.

Because of the small population, Kalawao County does not have the functions of other Hawaii counties. It is a judicial district of Maui County, which includes the rest of the island of Molokaʻi. The county has no elected government. Developed and used from 1866 to 1969 for settlements for treatment of quarantined persons with leprosy, it is administered by the Hawaii Department of Health. The only county statutes that apply to Kalawao County directly are those on matters of health.
apparently DON HO and others stepped in in '69 to say that if the local residents felt they were too disfigured to reintegrate into society they should be allowed to live out the rest of their lives there. and i guess there's still 90 of them? i dunno

so it's a literal leper's colony. i'm guessing it's wrapped into a precinct under mau'i county and just doesn't show up that way on the map - or maybe it will, when that precinct votes. i posted links to the hawaii state gis poo poo for the moloka'i precinct maps but im too lazy to look at it again

I think this is correct. He's such a raw nerve. I keep using that metaphor for him, but it fits so well. There's a lot of pathos in that diminutive package. I'd feel sorry for him, but then I remember, "Oh wait, he's an unbelievable rear end in a top hat."

Irongate Azrep BW LLC, the owner and developer of the property, uses the "Trump" name and mark under license from Trump Marks Waikiki LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms."

Update:

Hope Hicks, Donald Trump's communications director, clarified Donald Trump's relationship with the Hawaii hotel bearing his name. "He licenses his name for millions of dollars, meaning he has no downside but a lot of upside. There's no risk for him, he makes a lot of money doing that," she told CBS News. "And he also has a management contract with the owner, so he's the operator of the hotel. And it's operated by Trump Hotel Collections, meaning that when an employee gets a paycheck, [it's from] Trump Hotel Collections. He manages the property. He employs the people that work there."

CBS News ran a story that said that Trump's claim that he employs "many people" at the Trump Hotel Waikiki was false, based on a disclaimer at the bottom of the hotel's website that suggested the relationship between Trump and the hotel was strictly a licensing deal.

My friends lived there for a few months while working on a DLNR team doing biology surveys. There isn't a road that goes there, it's like a two mile hike in, and they don't allow anyone under 18 (children tend to stare at the disfigured residents).

It’s furious with Washington, Wall Street, hedge funds, big banks, lobbyists, fat cats in corner offices—all of them cutting special deals for themselves while average folks are left out. Voters know their real incomes are down. They know their retirements are in jeopardy, their kids are loaded with college debt, and everybody is looking at a tough job market. We are not in a recession, mind you, and employment is actually growing. No matter. All across the country, voters are saying, “We’re mad as hell and we aren’t gonna take it anymore.” That’s why the most damning indictment this year is to be called an “establishment candidate.” The second most damning is to receive Mitt Romney’s endorsement. If there was a ballot option for “tar-and-feather the lousy SOBs,” it would win in a landslide. Tuesday night proved it again.
