“Neither one of us is going to go to Springfield, but when you lose, you’re going back to Peoria. When I lose, I’m going to Montana, Wyoming, Florida, New York UT….well…you get the picture. Have a nice day.
Rauner: Young man, if you join my team, we can save the state together. Let’s get to work.
Grimm: (Mulling the offer over). Oh, I am not running to actually win; I am running to serve as spoiler to ensure Governor Quinn’s re-election. I got all the money I need from a variety of union bosses, so I’m good.
The Bruce: “I took out Schock, Rutherford, Dillard and had Quinn too, spent a fortune, but then came you Grimm…and it all went to hell.”
The Grimm: “It’s a funny thing, this money and democracy thing.”
The Bruce: “I will break you.”
The Grimm: “You cannot, my +/-,3.5% has already broken you.”
@Team Sleep: Actually, Libertarians are not anti-union. Per the LP platform: “We support the right of private employers and employees to choose whether or not to bargain with each other through a labor union. Bargaining should be free of government interference, such as compulsory arbitration or imposing an obligation to bargain.”
