McDonald was sitting with us at the house hearing.

He stated he is running as a dem, but supports the 2a. He wants ccw and says we dont need anymore gun laws.

He mentioned we are on the rank toward the bottom for many things like drive time, cost of living, stuff like that. So he not only talked 2a stuff, but econ as well.

He had 2 bums fight outside his bar and he called 911. No cops came. He walked to the station and asked where TF is everyone? They said they will send someone. He walked back to his bar and still no hpd.

We need to help this guy beat commie forehead boy. Mrs cmo and i will see how we can donate our labor to help.

I like Mr. McDonald. He seems genuine and has enough connections to be a real challenger. He needs to brush up on his legislative chops and get familiar with how the backroom deals go down, but then he just decided to file papers so there is plenty of time. I also like that he is a business owner who had his livelihood threatened by real estate greed, and he has vastly more curb appeal than Karl personality-wise. If he gets a solid hold of the issues and processes so that he can approach other d13 business and resident groups with confident answers I think he at least has the ability to make some sweat beads roll down a certain very large forehead.

What are the chances this guy could actually beat him?

I would say slim, because Hawaii people love voting for the same names. Even though they screw the people.  The feedback on FB are that over 95% hate Rhodes and see the BS he does.  But how many of those people commenting live in his district?  How many live in his district and vote?

If Rhode's bill for lowering the charge of 2oz or less of drugs passes, he will use that and say that felonies in his district fell by a huge number.  And the sheep won't realize the reason why those numbers fell.  Rhodes also tweets anti Trump stuff often, so that gains him more votes from morons.

I have never helped anyone before running for office, but I will donate my time to help McDonald win.

There is a small chance.  What he got going for him is most people tend to not like Rhoads, crime and homelessness is rampant, and gun owners across the state will support him.

A lot of it will depend on how much effort will the gun community put in.

Are there groups that are ready to point out the stellar job Rhoads has been doing?  [sarcasm] 

Something along the lines of "Are you happy with the current state of things in [Rhoads' area]?  Are you happy with the rise in crime, homelessness, etc?  If you are, you have Karl Marx Rhoads to thank for that." 

I don't think mudslinging is received well in Hawaii, but if there are groups that will point out the facts and bring up how things have only gotten worse with Rhoads and time for a change, then I think that might work.  I was actually thinking this for Baker as her last election seems to have been really close, so vulnerable.

He is definitely not defending the Constitution but eroding it. Based on that alone he shouldn't be re-elected.

Rhoads PR conferences are very wooden. Personality wise Kevin is miles ahead. If Kevin is to have any chance he needs to knock on doors and meet people personally.

I've heard this from others as well.  When bashing on politicians, we get a bunch of enthusiastic supporters come out.  But at the same time I wonder if there's a greater number that's being alienated.

Rhoads seems like the exception in that everyone hates him and it's more than well deserved.

I'm looking for someone who has experience as a campaign manager, they would be working with Kevin McDonald on the upcoming election. I know it's very late notice, but if anybody on the forum knows someone who would be interested please speak up. Mr. McDonald does have some experience campaigning as he is the head of his neighborhood board(China Town). He needs help running a major local campaign, please ask around and PM me any info regarding people of interest.
Thank You :shaka:

No need even bash Rhodes, just say all the stuff he actually does or doesn't do.
