The truth will out in November. However, this state GOP is literally at rock bottom and has nowhere to go but up. A one-party state Senate is an anathema to representative governance.
Politics is dynamic, not static. Socialism is failing Hawaii, and like all populations under Socialist regimes the public gradually begins to get fed up. It will happen in Hawaii eventually. The question is, has that turn already occurred, or is it still in the future?
As they continue to fall further into the Socialist utopia type government of California, many people will stop visiting because of the onerous rules and regulations...when that happens, you will see a change in the Hawaiian mentality!
Because that whole state survives on tourist trade dollars - PERIOD!
