Side note: what's the Republican bench (which is basically just Charles Djou and Duke Aiona) looking like for next year? I sort of doubt Djou will run after losing 4 races in a row and Aiona's already lost the governor's race twice. Is there anyone outside of some dudes that could run here?
Paging Mrs. Lingle...
She's in Illinois working for Rauner.
I would think that Republicans could nominate a businessperson to run. Since 1990 the HIGOP has done far better in the HIGov races, always nabbing over 30$
