Whether or not Hawaii is punished depends solely on our two senators. Thanks to their party adopting the nuclear option, the minority party now has little clout in the 
Senate. So smart money begins HORSE TRADING and abandoning GRANDSTANDING. ------------ Remember, their votes are moot now. Why should anyone care about what they say?  -------- So a smart REPRESENTATIVE begins negotiating and leveraging votes to the advantage of Hawaii. ---------  Smart Democrats must now act like responsible adults.  If they vote, "Nay" it will not matter and we Hawaii residents, might pay a price.  However, if they are smart and choose wisely to vote "Yea" on a number of issues, the state of Hawaii will benefit as will the concept that Representatives are concerned about all of the people and not just about just the party.
