So small time. Keep at it with the stunts like this, small gatherings, gun raffles, etc. Maybe through in a few bake sales or car washes. All while your opponent is absolutely trashing you with tens of millions in ads.
Bruce(no not him) has a point. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene has made a media career of pretending to be (slightly) less intelligent and literate than she is, for the hate-clicks.
Bailey can’t get 20 people to walk in the state fair parade with him, thought attending a bizarre rally at the Capitol with 25 people was a good use of time, and now spends money to fly a fire JB banner during the state fair with the wrong URL. I’m not even sure he could beat Sam Cahnman at this point. I’m sure Darren will say the media or Dems took his banner “out of context”. Jeesh.

“Not buying the .com url”
That ship sailed a long time ago. The .com URL was bought back in 2020. It’s probably the same organization that owns both, and supposedly it is paid for by the ILGOP.
But it’s rather telling that any stupid mistakes are now automatically being applied to the Bailey campaign.
I don’t think that’s a good sign for a campaign, or a party.

At least they spelled Pritzker correctly.
- Bruce( no not him) - Wednesday, Aug 17, 22 @ 2:48 pm:
Did they play us all?
Maybe more attention for the bad url, than the message itself.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Aug 17, 22 @ 2:52 pm:
Prolly the same “guy”who painted Bailey’s bus, amirite?

Given Bialey’s delicate sensibilities to any shot in his direction, he really doesn’t want to go there with the classless stuff.
Ibn the other hand, if the last protest is any indicator,the crowd for GOP day can probably fit in a mini-van. So there is that.

Pictured above: As close as Darren Bailey will get to a reporter who wants to ask questions.

My eyesight isn’t great, but it almost looks like that banner reads “fine job Pritzker.”

Hey with the money he spent on the plane he could have provided gas money to another handful of people to attend his rally.

Not buying the .com url did save the Bailey campaign like… 10 bucks. So he’s got that going for him.
- Henry Francis - Wednesday, Aug 17, 22 @ 3:44 pm:
When your communications director is also your crop duster, you are going to have these sorts of things.
Who’s gonna explain to Darren about the .gov url?
- Chris - Wednesday, Aug 17, 22 @ 4:01 pm:
Well, even if I agreed with the message, I wouldn’t want to replace him with a guy who can’t get simple things done correctly.
So who is Bailey suggesting we replace JB with?

I’d suggest Bailey visit a .edu for 4 years

They should be thankful someone just parked it.
It could have gone someplace awkward…

The .com looks like it was purchased on 8-12-2022 (wonder when they signed up to have someone do this over the fair).
The .net is still available.

Did Bailey use his PPP money to pay for this? Asking for a friend
