For my Democrat brethren I would beware the hype. On paper there is no way we lose. J.B. was by far the weakest candidate we could have picked. There is worse out there than the Blago tapes, if there isn’t than it was political Malpracticeto hit him in the primary with those ads.
Our lesson is Nov 2016. Two terrible candidates leave one to terrible choices, sure us dems will vote for him but what about the middle?
I don’t think Rauner will win, or should he is awful, I just hate that my party continues to nominate unremarkable, unlikeable people. You would never remember we are the party of FDR, Truman and JFK.
