Comment: Uh huh, interesting thought to be sure, but not really  feasible or practical in today's world; as your claiming independence from the US and you are then going to try and enter into an alliance with the US?  Hawaii would be the "Beggers at the door" with nothing to offer but a strategic port; from which we just kicked them out of.  Lets face reality and facts here, the US war machine is entrenched in the Hawaiian Islands and will not be going anywhere.  The State of Hawaii will weather the Trump Administrations "storm of stupidity" and we will manage to continue to a thorn in the  side of Trump and his ilk.
