Sounds like the worst debacle sinceNew York ran Pierre Rinfret against Cuomo. He was a Non-Republican who thought it was a good idea to campaign at abortion mills. He got 19% of the vote.
The GOP in Illinois seems to have the mental disease captured folks, after a long period of being captured, can develop toward their captors.
You’ll never find a bigger gang of unprincipled turncoat poltroons than in the leadership of the Illinois Republican Party. And I remember well how Bruce Rauner skedaddled like the Roadrunner any time Donald Trump was in the state, even after Trump became President. When Trump attended the re-opening of a steel mill in Granite City, which was a big deal for the local economy, Brucie was nowhere to be found.
Bailey is a good and decent man - but he ran a terrible campaign for Governor - not sure who was running his campaign, but they had no clue how to beat Putzker.
Bailey may be a fine conservative but he’ll never win statewide office as long as Chicago is part of the state - the numbers are clear. That’s why the Democrat Governors Ass’n put so much $ behind Bailey to eliminate Richard Irvin in the primary, knowing a white male from downstate could never win the general election. Irvin, an urban black moderate R could have pulled enough black votes to beat Prickster.
