As compared to McDermott and former Rep Slom who were "big heavy hitters" and so persuasive in the legislature? (Yes, this is a rhetorical question).  You want to talk about who did the most damage?  How about Aiona naming a minister as his running mate and talk about how he is so anti-abortion, anti-civil unions or anti-immunizations or what about McDermott wasting everyone's time filing pointless lawsuits trying to invalidate the same-sex marriage in Hawaii.  The Hawaii Republican party needed Fukumoto and others of her generation with a little more "OPEN MINDEDNESS" than the current OLD religious fanatical leadership.  Talk about cutting off one's nose to spite their face.  So what Fukumoto did not worship at the feet of Trump or actually believe adult women should have their own reproductive freedom.  In order for Hawaii Repubs to EVER make inroads in Hawaii they have to focus ONLY on fiscal responsibility of gov't and NOT their current fanatical religious agenda.
