Its corrupt.
The Democrats dumped Quinn because he was a liability. But in Rauner they have a fellow traveler.
I was discussing this privately with another IL FReeper, and we’re not entirely convinced that Quinn lost the election. The Combine fixes races for “Republicans”, too. I’m here to tell you that if you win statewide in IL and you’re a Combiner, you’re corrupt.
The election was fixed for Quinn 4 years ago despite the overwhelming support of the Conservative grassroots and the state for anti-Combiner Brady (whom I and others believe won that year), while the grassroots was NOT supportive of Combiner Kirk (yet who managed to “win”). The Justice Department ought to launch a mass-scale investigation of the state, but they won’t, because of the number of people that would be implicated, and Zero himself is a Combiner (who owed his rise to their machinations to remove anti-Combiner Sen. Pete Fitzgerald from office).
