Multitude of reasons why, but I think the most recent news coming out is good enough for today.

Disagree with you there. Too many of the "good blacks" (his quote not mine) still support him. Liberals loved to attack the crazies who still supported Roy Moore after his comments and allegations. Let's see if they can do the same thing when it's one of their own. My guess is no because he will be their best chance to win the state house, and party is more important than principle.

His latest ad has him using the term, "people of color."

So you disagree?

If you look like your fat neck is being choked by your collared shirt, you probably shouldn't be running for office anyways.

I really hope Rauner gets a 2nd term and more republican seats. He really could do a lot of good for this state.

And a lot of bad.

But it won't matter as long as Madigan remains.

Can you expound on why you feel this way? Rauner is actually pretty centrists on many issues, IMO.

Ah. My bad. I'm on my work computer, so gifs are just stationary pictures on this due to ancient technology.

Well....his fight against the State Income Tax was as non-existent and laughable as one could imagine. He proved to be the skidmarks on Madigan's underwear.....so he's already done a lot of bad.

Why does anyone even pay attention to the governor's race in Illinois. Michael Madigan is and will remain the real governor of the state because Illinois voters keep giving him the fucking House.

He publicly railed against it and veto'd it. Unless you are blaming HIM for the traitor republicans that voted for it, but that is a stretch.
