I left Illinois in 1997. I could smell the stink even back then.
I live in rural Illinois and while there’s much wrong in Springfield, I like it here. So I’m not being defensive when I say that the “stink” is everywhere - tonight we saw Ted Cruz come within a couple percent of being defeated - in TEXAS! The point is, this is a marathon, not a sprint and Trump can only do so much. It seems pretty clear the Democrats overperformed in the House races where they had the best shot, Republicans need to learn from that if we don’t want this to happen every 2 years.
