A party that stands for nothing is not a party I would vote for.
And I will never cast my vote for someone like Rauner.
It’s not about you or me, goldstategop...
It is about demographics of electorate in blue states.
A RINO winning in blue states is usually far better than a hard left liberal winning who creates more dependents on government dole and beefs up democrat voters in the state. It is not really a complicated strategy.
When I lived in Illinois 16 years ago, it was not hard left. I recall voting for Mr. Ogilvie and Mr. Thompson, both republicans. Now the state is run by Obama clones. Only reason Rauner won is because the financial situation of Illinois is in terrible situation and sane democrats did not want the state to go bankrupt.
Can we at least give this guy a chance? I think it’s unbecoming how this article automatically assumes that this guy would be a disaster as governor. Come on now.
