Jesse Sullivan is a businessman, a veteran, and a complete outsider who would bring a fresh and positive outlook to the state. He has a comprehensive plan to combat the gang-bangers in Chicago and will open up IL vast coal reserves (IL has the 2nd largest deposit of coal reserves in the country).
BAILEY is the real deal.
Doesn't matter. He's leading in the polls and will count as a W.
I thought Trump said tonight at the rally that Bailey was a good-ole boy farmer and not an insider.
Governors in Illinois tend to be crooks.

Acquitted at trial: Len Small (1921-1929) and William Stratton (1953-1961)
Two former governors, Len Small and William Stratton, were charged with crimes but eventually acquitted.
Small was indicted while governor on charges of embezzlement committed during his time as state treasurer. Eight of the jurors who acquitted Small eventually landed state jobs during his tenure in the executive office.

Toilet scandal in the governor’s mansion?
A contractor removed all the toilets in one of Pritzker’s Gold Coast mansions – and promptly reinstalled a single working toilet in Pritzker’s “hangout/meeting area” after the mansion was deemed uninhabitable. The county inspector’s evaluation cut Pritzker’s property tax bill by $331,000.
An investigation in 2018 by the Cook County inspector general described the incident as a “scheme to defraud,” and Pritzker pledged to repay the money when it was exposed during his gubernatorial campaign. The Pritzkers came under federal investigation following the scandal, making Pritzker yet another Illinois governor whose actions have been called into question for corruption.
Unfortunately Trump’s worst vice is his vanity- he likes to pick easy winners to make himself look better, even if they turn out to be backstabbers.
