Duckworth has clearly decided the reform vote is not in her target universe. She defended Blago while he was under investigation and now is sticking with Madigan and his 13% approval rating.
I’m assuming that part of the accompanying video clip might make it into a TV ad…
I would have countered with something more to the effect of “At least Senator Kirk is known to show his independence from his party’s line. Rep. Duckworth should try it sometime.” rather than the standard tie her to Madigan and Blago.
The 13% approval rating line is a little weak. If someone is truly that unpopular you don’t have to brand them as unpopular. This is just trying to sear it in.
“Nothing could be as bad as being on a ticket with Donald Trump.”

Don’t know about that. Finding yourself having to go back into court on a case you thought you had settled (in the middle of an election season) because you couldn’t resist gloating over your so-called ‘victory’ probably comes pretty close….

What part of “Unrelated message” did you not understand?

Sorry Rich missed that bit.
I agree this race is getting a bit goofy. Not sure this is the climate and year to be running on a follow the party line strategy.
