Standing Four Inches Taller for Illinois

Gee, I didn’t know Frerichs was so tall.

One man who will try to use magic to balance the budget, and one who will tell him that it is impossible.

Two winners who will learn what it means to run for an office and actually have to do the job.
Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Nov 25, 14 @ 2:54 pm
Governor-Elect Rauner: You may have 4 inches on me, but you won by the skin of your teeth. Me? By a much more comfortable margin.
Treasurer-Elect Frerichs: Potatoes, patatoes, Governor-Elect. I’m gonna shake things up in Springfield too…while standing tall for Illinois.

Rauner and his eventual successor share a quite moment before the battle beings in earnest. Not only is Illinois Treasurer Mike Frerich’s taller, younger and better looking than Bruce, he’s smarter too! After Bruce slashes the state budget, raises our taxes and a few of his close allies are arrested for corruption, Big Mike Frerich’s will be a shoe-in.

How about we like @FakeMikeFrerichs make a fool out if himself before he runs for governor.
Never heard people say so much about people who haven’t done the job they’ve been elected to first, before moving up, lol
“Caption?”
@FakeMikeFrerichs - golly, Bruce knew my mane and everything. #BewareOfBrightLightsTheyShowAll

Willy:
I believe Frerichs said repeatedly on the campaign trail that he plans on running for re-election in 2018.
I know the Treasurer’s office has a reputation as a “stepping stone,” but it seems misplaced. Alexi’s run was accidental.

I have no reason not to believe him or you;
I think some over zealous “fans” should slow their roll, lol.
I hope that Frerichs gets complete control of that twitter before it’s too late too.
I am trying to …help(?)
Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Nov 25, 14 @ 6:52 pm
Willy,
All your “backwards games” against Mike Frerichs will turn out like they have so far — poorly. Fact is, Senator Frerichs is among the smartest public servants I have ever met. A little grey hair around Treasurer Frerichs’ temples will quell questions raised by the likes of Willey.
The one thing nobody in Illinois can do is save Bruce Rauner from his ambitious self! Watch this rich boy fall, burn and end up in jail. Meanwhile, Big Mike Frerichs is going to SHAKE IT OFF and play it straight!
It doesn’t matter if Mike Frerichs’ runs in 2018, 2020 or 2024.
While the likes of “old Willey” ends their days in a government subsidized nursing home the likes of Big Mike Frerichs will be elected Governor of Illinois before he turns 55!
