Mad Hatter Richard Irvin, Combine Candidate for Illinois Governor, Not Ready For Prime Time By John Kass
May 13, 2022
Richard Irvin, the Combine Republican candidate for governor of Illinois, met the media for only the second time in the campaign the other day. And just like the first time, it was a disaster.
It wasn’t a news conference as much as it was a crazy tea party in Alice’s Wonderland, with the Mad Hatter babbling, refusing to answer questions, even the simple ones and all but demanding reporters to tell the inconvenient truth:
Irvin is not ready for prime time.
Irvin, mayor of Aurora, hand picked by billionaire Ken Griffin’s Combine “consultants,” could not answer simple questions. He kept saying “Let me finish! Let me finish!” at reporters, then avoided answers before running away. The Illinois Republican Party primary election for governor is only short weeks away, on June 28.
So, do you agree or disagree with the article?
Irvin is nothing more than a stooge for IL Governor Putzker to draw away votes from IL GOP candidate Bailey.
Hopefully most will not fall for Irwin.
What does “Combine” mean in this context?
It means that Illinois is a one-party state with two factions, with no substantial differences, who work together for their mutual benefit. It might be a reference to the combine harvester: one machine that performs all the functions of harvesting, with the emphasis on the “one machine” part.
The unholy political alliance between Chicago/Cook County democrats and “downstate” (rest of the state) republicans. In this scheme behind the scenes cooperation makes all participants corrupt and rich.
The State Democrats and Republicans working together behind the scenes to carve up the tax-payer loot. Billions $$ spent on Road Projects, Airports, etc always have a generous kick-back for the politicians.
In Illinois, the GOP puts up straw candidates so it looks like they are trying to win. It. is all a scam. It is the Combine in action.
I live in Indiana now but still work in Illinois, so I have an interest in this. I don’t know much about Irvin. His ads sure sound good, but I get the feeling that he is lying, both about himself and his opponents. What he allegedly stands for now is in sharp contrast to what he has stood for in the past. I don’t believe for a second his allegation that Bailey voted for Biden. Wasn’t Bailey a Trump delegate at the national convention?
