Kennedy responds to GOP hit
Thursday, Feb 9, 2017 - Posted by Rich Miller * The background to this item is here. I somehow completely missed this statement from Chris Kennedy’s campaign this morning. My e-mail browser has been acting up a bit today. Better late than never, I suppose…
That would’ve been a decent response if I’d posted it at 10:30. Oops on my part.

Gop Russians still at it?

It’s a “B-, C+” response.
What it is, it’s a shooting that the Kennedy Crew will respond, quick response, to what Rauner thinks is the piling of bricks to bury Chris Kennedy.
At some point, these to be a bit sharper, a bit… edgier… a bit… hungrier.
You want to take Rauner on, his 24/7/365 drone-ness…
… show me “You’re not going to get vanilla pudding back at you.”
It’s like “heartless”… there are tick-trigger words Rauner bristles at. Work the messaging to get Rauner off-center.
It’s a “B-, C+”
They said it. Now what?

“showing”
My apologies.

**but yesterday, when the Senate was voting on budget, he was nowhere to be found.**
Umm… the Senate voted on a budget yesterday?

Yes, the Senate indeed starting voting on budget bills yesterday.

There should be folders full of responses waiting to hit the send button

OK - What budget bills did the Senate vote on yesterday?
Are we calling any bill related to the “grand bargain” a budget?
- wordslinger - Thursday, Feb 9, 17 @ 5:34 pm:
I’d suggest that Kennedy or any Dem running for governor add a “Trump” to any and all comments on Rauner.
Why do you think the Rauner crew says “Madigan” all day, every day?
And why do you think Rauner is too scared to say Trump’s name or put himself in a position to have a photo taken with him?
The Dems should know that there are 3.1 million Illinoisans who, when given a chance, will vote against Trump, and where to find them.
That’s 1.4 million more votes than Quinn got. And Rauner beat Quinn by only 142,000 votes.

If he were Trump, Kennedy would claim that Rauner’s father was involved in a few assassinations.
Politics, 2017!

i like (no, i’m sorry) i love that methodology
- Macbeth - Thursday, Feb 9, 17 @ 6:13 pm:
A+ response.
Finally, someone is saying what everybody knows: Rauner doesn’t want a budget passed. He wants a shutdown, and he’s about to get a shutdown.
So, yeah, thank you for finally — finally — saying what a lot of people already suspect: Rauner is determined to sabotage every, every, every budget.

Nothing but a Rauner dupe! /s
Really. I’m kidding rich. Don’t ban me or criticize my spelling again. I don’t brook any criticism @realPublicServant

Try not to do that again. Just sayin’.

The ONLY thing Bruce Rauner seems like he takes action on is his attempt to get re elected… & the odds in Vegas are against that happening.

They could basically repeat this, from one of their first campaign emails:
“Governor Rauner has supported the same alt-right, anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-worker agenda that Donald Trump has promoted.”
- Blue dog dem - Friday, Feb 10, 17 @ 5:47 am:
Rich, just hoping. Allowing the Rauner camp, and now the Kennedy camp, to use the CapFax as a launching pad for campaign rhetoric makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Its your blog, a wonderfully entertaining news source, but i just
Am not sure its a good idea. Sorry. I know i am not articulating this right.

Agree with wordslinger that Dems need to be as disciplined tying Rauner to Trump as GOPers are tying any and all Democrats to Madigan.
