Ives has a crap record when it comes to voting against organized state worker labor unions, the main reason Illinois is such a broken state. She will never get my vote.

Rauner is a limousine liberal from the North Shore who will never beat Kim Jung Pritzker - why vote for the phony when you can get the real thing? Rauner could have thrown a bone to Illinois conservatives by vetoing the abortion funding bill or refusing to go along with protected status for illegals, but his loyalty to Planned Parenthood and their ilk wouldn’t even allow him to do that, so he figured he could get by without the conservatives in his base. He won’t.
Ives is far from perfect, but at least she’s not a plutocrat elitist, which is what Illinois will end up with in November even if fat-@ss Pritzker were to drop dead during the campaign; those remaining Illinois residents who still work and pay taxes can look forward to watching the implosion in their rearview mirrors as they move to Hoosierville and CheeseCountry.
