Hover Gone

I have a web page with styling on it and I was requested to not have the visited color of a submenu anchor change color.  I thought I did indeed make the update.  But now,  once a link is clicked,  that link no longer changes color on the hover.

Here is the HTML

<div class="container">
	<div class="HCPmenu-container">
		<div class="HCPitem">
			<a href="#">Corporate Comm.</a>
				<div class="HCPsub-menu">
					<div class="col_0 HCPsub-menu-item">

And here is the CSS

<style type="text/css">
a , a:hover{
  text-decoration: none!important;
}

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.HCPmenu-container .HCPitem {
