1. Yup. Forced Grassley to spit out a "Yes"

about ceding all GOP questioning to their counselor.

2. Like I said in the first hearing... she has found her voice

I am wondering if she might be the the person we are looking for to emerge for 2020.

Maybe we need a second President from Hawaii!

7. But her mother was an American.

8. I trust you are making a joke. Mazie's mother was an abused wife who left her own country...

...to get out of that relationship, and raised her kids as a single mom in Hawai'i. This family history has a lot to do with Senator Hirono's perspective.

9. Why would I be joking?

Her mother was an American citizen. That is relevant to the question of her eligibility for the presidency.

10. Just looked it up: you are right and I am quite wrong. This was not mentioned in the few articles...

... that I had read about her early life.

There are some amazing people who've come out of my home state. Mahalo, amazing people.

11. I understand

Without knowing that, my comment would seem very strange.
