Hawaii seems to hate its governors. I wouldn't be surprised if Hanabusa wins this by 2014 Ige-Abercrombie margins.

The question is, will Republicans run an actual candidate or will they be stuck with John Carroll?

As he should.

Ige was probably going to lose before this, this just seals it.


I, for one, am ready for Flawless Beautiful Colleen Yellow heart

What has Ige done, other than this, that was so bad?

Exist in a seat that Hanabusa thinks is hers, probably.

I guess she didn’t learn from her primary challenge to Schatz.

Yes, women have to learn their place and yield to men.

Oh, please. The sarcasm would be warranted in any other circumstance, but Hanabusa's attempts at higher office have all been based on unabashed entitlement. Gabbard would be more deserving, and I say that as someone who thinks Gabbard is a total phony.

Isn’t that the same for any politician? You just feel that way because she’s a minority woman seeking higher office.

Not everything is about being a women or oppressing them, get over it.

I never said it was, opportunism is a common term used to put down and shame women for seeking elected office though.
But aren't all serious politicians really opportunists at the core?

Hanabusa is an opportunist seeking to (probably successfully) unseat an unpopular governor. Ige was an opportunist in 2014 when he did the same.

Have any of you actually researched any of her positions besides Assad?

"calls for a restoration of the Glass–Steagall Act,"

"called for the breakup of Wells Fargo Bank"

"strongly opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership"

"called for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan"

"traveled to North Dakota to join the protests against the construction of the final leg of the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Indian Reservations"

"supports full funding for Medicare and Social Security and opposes efforts to reduce benefits"

"favors allowing Medicare to negotiate with prescription drug firms to secure lower prescription drug prices"

"is pro-choice"

"cosponsored a bill that would let illegal immigrants serve in the US military"

"opposed the Defense of Marriage Act"

"introduced legislation to take marijuana off the federal controlled substances list"

"spoke against Trump's executive order banning refugees"


I don't think a single Republican would agree with all those statements.

I think a lot of Gabbard's bad rep comes from the fact that his father vocally opposed gay marriage.

As a member of the Hawaii House of Representatives, Tulsi Gabbard had this to say about a civil unions bill:

This bill is very disrespectful to the people of Hawaii who have already made their opinion very clear on this matter. As Democrats we should be supporting the will of the people and not a small number of homosexual extremists.

Citation: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/05/tulsi-gabbard-president-sanders-democratic-party

Tulsi Gabbard can go jump in a lake as far as I’m concerned. She only changed her positions to match the political weathervane.
I couldn't care less if Gabbard said that over a decade ago. She supports gay marriage today, and it's not like she would do anything about that.

As Skunk pointed out, the majority of Democratic politicians – Obama, Biden, Clinton included – opposed same-sex marriage at that time.

And, for sure, the will of the people has changed, has it not?
