text: I would agree with pretty much all of what you said, except the whole GOP bashing thing.
  We are talking about Hawaii, here. Not the mainland USA or nationally. HERE in Hawaii the democrats have RULED the state for 50 years with basically absolute control at all levels. All of the problems we have here are FULLY owned by the democrats. The 8 Republicans in the state legislature had nothing to do with creating them, it is the 68 others that outvote them on everything. HERE In Hawaii, with "the party of the people" in full control, we have the worst percentage of homeless than anywhere else in the entire country. The worst housing, the worst schools, and the "worst of" in several other categories. Trump nor any other national figure is responsible for that in any capacity at all.
  
  But yes, i absolutely agree with you that is is a problem of democrat political will to actually solve the problems here that they created, and continue to create.
