While getting past Lardass Prickster might be an issue, his state moved 11% to the right, so he’s right to be worried.
Seven more counties joined the 25 who have already passed secession resolutions to form “New Illinois”. That’s nearly 1/3 of the total counties in the state - some day this is going to have to be treated seriously.
People tell me “Chicago is the economic engine of Illinois”. I reply “Just how long is that engine going to run without any freaking food?”. Rural Illinois went as high as 74% for Trump and he came within 10% statewide. Take Chicago/Crook county out and IL is a red state.
Isn’t Springfield a minor, but still significant part of the problem in the Ill State?
