* Republican lieutenant governor nominee Evelyn Sanguinetti on her role in office should she be elected this November…

“It depends on the governor. It’s up to the governor to give us a role. And so with Bruce Rauner we’re going to work as a team. I will be his partner. And wherever he’s not, I will be able to make decisions in his stead. And it’s a great deal for the taxpayer because we’ll both be working hand in hand with one another.”

Emphasis added for obvious reasons. If she’s gonna have gubernatorial powers, perhaps the Rauner campaign ought to explain what those would be.

*** UPDATE *** This isn’t the first time she’s said something like that. From a “helpful” Democrat, we have another quote from Sanguinetti at the June 7th Palatine Republican Township meeting…

“So, the governor must have chosen somebody who is likeminded to run alongside him so, should your governor be unable to serve, your lieutenant governor must be, without skipping a beat, able to lead on day one so Bruce and I are going to have a partnership. I’m not going to stand back and wait until something happens or anything like that. It’s going to be a partnership. Wherever he is not, I will be there in his stead making the hard decisions.”

So, she’s not going to wait for Rauner to become incapacitated before she steps in and does something? Considering that she’s such a hardcore social conservative, the Quinnsters could have a field day with this goofiness.
