I don’t usually write much about IL politics. Well, it’s usually pretty depressing. However, today NBC has a story about the GOP gubernatorial primary that speaks to the shambolic state of the GOP establishment and of the rise of the MAGA movement. For most people nationally IL is simply one of the Deep Blue states that are past redemption. While that’s true in many ways, IL is like quite a few of the other Deep Blue states: It’s Deep Blue because it’s dominated by one of the nation’s larger metro areas. Most of the state is nothing like Cook County or even the several suburban counties ringing Chicago. As a result, every now and then when things really hit the fan in IL a Republican will get elected governor. That’s in spite of the undoubted dishonesty of IL elections.
The Pritzker family or I should say freakshow are the perfect bunch to carry the D's banner into battle. Note to Jennifer, change your name and your dress daily if you wish, you are always a dude, transvestite is the proper term. Democrazy demons !!!
For example, getting district lines redrawn so Obama could win an election and get started in politics. They needed to draw up a district with more white liberals in it, because blacks could tell he wasn't authentic. Or getting the messy (but sealed) divorce files of his opponent released to the newspapers. That kinda stuff takes money and political clout.
From the political ads, all one can conclude is that all the candidates suck. The ads are everywhere - TV, my MLB.TV app, all over the internet - same old negative messages (but slickly produced). Always very uplifting. I'm glad I have a mute button and DVR. I just want the primaries to be over.
The IL Republican race has been interesting. Griffin's support for Irvin had put him in the early lead but now Citadel is leaving the state. Further, Pritzker propped up Bailey some time ago ($$) thinking it would be an easy win for re-election. I like Jesse Sullivan and voted for him today. Tried to convince my hard core wife but she's still seething over the Roe vs. Wade decision so I stay away.
Further, JB if I recall removed all his toilets from his gold coast home a few years ago to get tax breaks as the home was considered "unlivable". What a sleeze. When I ventured up to Lake Geneva for holiday last year (Wisconsin) had much lax Covid restrictions and JB could often be seen visiting the Mars restaurant near his farm outside Delavan. What a piece of crap. The whole family is weird, but I'm sure he will be re-elected.
Hillary and the media promoted Trump to be the GOP nominee in 2016 because (from their insular, pretentious point of view) they were sure that they could beat him. I hope Jabba the Governor has similarly miscalculated.
If Hannity had any real principles he would quit, apparently he is a "company man" working for the high bidders. Weird how Tucker hasn't been canned like Lou Dobbs, Trish Regan etc.

Interesting…
“Pritzker family that pulled all the strings that needed pulling to give America Obama. “

Yes!
Hannity=dumb ass extraordinaire & Dr. Oz fanboy.
Hannity I’m seeing more and more as controlled opposition, giving voice to the eGOP.
If Hannity had any real principles he would quit, apparently he is a "company man" working for the high bidders. Weird how Tucker hasn't been canned like Lou Dobbs, Trish Regan etc.
Tucker seems to have some leeway due to his high ratings, but there are some lines he is not allowed to cross. 2,000 mules is one of them.
"he doesn't like criminals."
He apparently was a big supporter of BLM. The GOPe in IL thought that would be a winner. Go figure.
