Well it appears that the Republican’ts know who their pay master. It is obvious that a bill they overwhelmingly voted for previously suddenly became toxic.
“No, this wasn’t about the bill, it’s about 2018. Yeah, we’re printing the mailers now about the reps who want to suppress your vote. Over there? No I don’t think that’s Bettie Page, I think the real Bettie is much older. No, not as old as me…”
“No, I have no intention…. again, that is not something I plan on doing… I think I answered that… No, I won’t be a regular on ‘Dad’s Home State’… this was one episode and I thanked the governor for the opportunity, the strawberry shake and the pancakes… “
I’m not so powerful that mushrooms I’ve allowed to vote against me won’t do so. We’ve already planned and paid for the mailers touting their independence.
Just because we have 71 Representatives does not mean all 71 will vote the same way. Reality - we can not over-ride Rauner’s veto’s without the Republican votes.

I think it is a leap to think that all 51 Republicans are gonna vote for the Rauner Agenda.
I bet fewer than half support his tax increase.

Normally I’d agree…
But Rauner doesn’t want any $&@#% problems.
Probably all 51 for the TA, 45-46 for the Rauner Tax. Maybe.
With respect.
