Ha!  If this guy is sincerely bummed that his party no longer seems to be "helping Democrats beat Republicans", he probably hasn't checked the scoreboard in a while.  Only ONE Republican state senator out of 25.  Only 7 Republican state representatives out of 51.  The governorship is Democrat.  All four mayors play for the donkey team.  Pretty much every member of the four county councils.  The entire congressional delegation.  Perhaps Civil Beat lets its friends play fast and loose with spin doctoring while the facts speak otherwise.  But, come on!!  Nobody actually expects Hawaii's GOP to make any inroads in 2016.  If anything, the GOP might lose a seat or two on November 8th.  Now, if this story was about Republicans quitting the state and county Republican party committees because the RINO party leaders showed no interest in "helping Republicans beat Democrats" then you would DEFINITELY have a story.  But this story was SO DUMB that I now feel less intelligent for having read it.
