===I know they will brag about smaller wins but Gov is biggest loser followed by Proft, Maisch & Dunkin.===
I’d probably elevate Maisch and possibly Dunkin above Proft on the loser list. Proft is a known quantity with a lack of real quality whereas Maisch tarnished his generally positive reputation and potentially tanked every Chamber legislative priority for the foreseeable future. And Dunkin, for all of them, might have had to most to lose. Raise your hand if you really think Rauner will remember him in January. Why would he help Dunkin then?
Madigan & the people he controls didn’t steal the election, they had less money, were for the most part out spent, Rauner money and dirty politics gave the election away.
Fact, Rauner was more oppressive with Republican GA, than Madigan. After the November election, RGA will start voting with the Dems.
Most all of us have worked for someone like Rauner as a boss. We resented the dictatorship, the unreasonable direction… Rauner’s mone and more so his personality sent people to the voting booth. Even Trump’s popularity didn’t help him.
Can’t wait to hear this song in the halls of the General Assembly. Maybe I’ll send Mr. Rauner the tune with Mr. Madigan’s autograph.
Am befuddled about Maisch. Pressure must have been intense to do what they did. Way out of character for CoC and Todd. Some need to re-evaluate what they are willing to do for BR. Hate it for Todd, on certain things he has been good to work with, think his flexibility may be impaired at this point. Good luck Todd.
Chicago is really really REALLY mad at Rahm and is not going to stop being mad anytime soon.
Also they are mad at Rahm not silly attempts to tie other candidates to Rahm.

What job will Rauner give Dunkin? he has to give him a job. he really does have to. if he doesn’t no other member will ever try to go alone ever again. But on the flip side - if he does - it looks like the same sort of vote buying political insider deals that he said he wants to “shake up”
Criticism aside, I think Rauner has to give him a job. Maybe head of Child Support Enforcement?
“This election will just force people out of the state. People will take one look at the state, see the results of this election, and move away. We’ll lose businesses. I mean, if people vote like this, there’s really no hope is there? It’s a sham vote.”

Convicted felons and alleged domestic abusers lose. Rauner pledges to spend more money on even worse candidates in November.

Kippax Blue - you raise a good point.
What job will Rauner give Dunkin? he has to give him a job. he really does have to. if he doesn’t no other member will ever try to go alone ever again. But on the flip side - if he does - it looks like the same sort of vote buying political insider deals that he said he wants to “shake up”
Criticism aside, I think Rauner has to give him a job. Maybe head of Child Support Enforcement?

Rauner:
“This election will just force people out of the state. People will take one look at the state, see the results of this election, and move away. We’ll lose businesses. I mean, if people vote like this, there’s really no hope is there? It’s a sham vote.”

Bruce won. What are you all talking about? Rauner and the Turn Around agenda won every race we entered last night. There isn’t ONE news story talking about how badly the Rauner Turn Around Agenda got destroyed by voters yesterday. NOT ONE. You know why, because Team Rauner’s owns every newspaper from the Trubune to the Southern- Molly Parker- Lance Trover’s prom date.
Here’s a piece of advice for the IL GOP- your 15 minutes are up.
