This is the neatest little programming game I've seen in years.

(If you figure out 2-3, tell me? I get close but I'm always missing a function I need) got it

Donald Trump is *not* the most racist, least coherent, and stupidest Republican running for office in the USA this year.

Aulani Kaaihue is the Republican candidate for Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District, and she is.... confused, at best. In all-caps. Very Christian. And boy howdy does she hate herself some Japanese people.

Bonus, if you scroll down you'll see that about 1/4 of her posts are about her boyfriend Howard Kim, who is running as a Democrat in Hawaii's 1st District on a platform of, I shit you not "Elect me because I do not have cancer". Because the previous holder of the seat, Mark Takai, died of cancer last month.

Notably, Mr Kim was *not* chosen by the Democratic Party as their candidate in the election - he lost to Colleen Hanabusa and will not be appearing on the ballot at all[1]. Ms Kaaihue *was* chosen by the Republican Party as the person they most wanted to represent them.

Also notably: The entire turnout for the Republican primary in her district was approximately 16% of the turnout for the Democratic candidate alone.

Ms Kaaihue has been denounced by the Republican Party Of Hawaii, who apparently now deeply regret choosing her as their spokesperson and representative.


[1]: although that hasn't stopped his, uh, "campaign" to win the byelection to finish out the last of Mark Takai's term. Again, I want to point out, on a campaign of "Vote For Me, I Do Not Have Cancer Like That Last Guy Did"
