Wikipedia: Charles Djou announced on June 7, 2016 that he was running for the non-partisan office of Mayor of Honolulu against incumbent Mayor Kirk Caldwell...On June 15, Djou announced that retired Federal Judge and former Chair of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, Walter Heen, would be chair of Djou’s mayoral campaign, and City Council member Ann Kobayashi, also a Democrat, supported Djou for mayor...Caldwell ultimately won reelection, 52% to 48%...

I sat with him and 2 others on the Big Island for a 90 minute lunch a couple of years ago, talking political starategies.

Nice guy, utterly milquetoast. Total Honolulu mindset.

Ship all illegals to Hawaii. It will
then be known as the adios state.
How many illegals reside in Hawaii?
And what is the real reason why he cares
so much about them? Native Hawaiians
don’t care much for howlees, much less
Mexicans.

What is he? ... a traitorous, spineless, RINO wimp?

Probably even the sharks around Hawaii would spit him out as unpalatable.

We need to fast track Boers. I am actually one. My parents had the sense to get out by 78. We fit in so well here and work your asses into the ground. Our women are hot, we love guns, we braai (BBQ), love our bakkies (pickups), drink real beer, and are not politically correct by a long shot. Bring the South African farmers here. We are a rare bunch. Tougher than nails. We will dig a 10,000 foot well with a friggin hand drill. Our dogs are pretty cool too. They saunter up to a new person on the property and judge their intention. If you are there to do bad you best run because a ridgeback will tear out your throat. If you are there for the braai, it will be a big sweety.

Let’s swap a few million Mexican illegal aliens for the Boers and call it even.

Bringing the farmers whose land is being stolen into this country sounds good.

At the same time, it would also be good to ship the homicidal hordes of death-cult-following savages who are invading and overrunning Western Civilization out of this country.

Every time the “immigration” issue pops up, Trump should hold up a large poster with the word, “ILLEGAL” and beneath that, the phrase, “Rule of Law.”

Then look into the camera and say, “What do you not understand?”

He’s obsolete, and he knows it. So he’s going to hide from the truth.

Once a useless RINO; always a useless RINO.

Our problem is we have too many of these useless stinky traitors in our midst.

What did Trump have to do with him losing his congressional races, etc? Trump was still a TV gameshow host at the time Djou was either running for Congress or in it.

Blame it on Rep. John Boehner, the Republican Majority leader if anybody.

Very disappointed in this man. He could have been a contender. Now he’s just a loser all around.

It’s because they’re flippin idiots. They get something in their head and even when told they are wrong and corrected very simply they do not comprehend and just stick by their original thought. It’s amazing how stupid and stubborn minded they are. I don’t know how they graduated high school even when their basic comprehension is so lacking.

Never forget that this was the man who went temporarily elected to congress, his very first Act as a congressman was to vote with fellow Hawaii Democrats to call for a cloture vote on the don’t ask don’t tell issue. Which at the time was very hot news and featured a lot of military active-duty polling to see how the rank-and-file in the military felt about allowing open homosexuality in the services. Those polls among the rank-and-file revealed that it was a widely condemned move and not at all appropriate for our armed services. Yet Obama Lady Gaga and this guy were among those pushing for the enactment of a repeal of don’t ask don’t tell regardless of what the military members had to say, or felt about the matter. What’s the cloture vote was accomplished, this man led the movement to vote for the repeal of don’t ask don’t tell in the entire Congress. Citing himself being a supposedly member of the US Army Reserves. Again this was his very first and possibly most significant act as a member of the US Congress. To hell with him. May he rot in hell
