2. Well, he can’t blame Daley or Emanuel, can he?

   Citizen Rauner dropped tons of money on Daley and Emanuel because he thought they were doing such a swell job with the schools.

   Seriously, he said that.

   The dude is surreal.

5. The war drags on. We can thank the both of them for nothing.

6. 1) “Fire Madigan” is a loser in districts

   2) Unions, trades and public sector both, are on to Rauner’s game.

   3) If Rauner has 60, that’s “Six-Zero” votes and Madigan is stopping 60 votes against Rauner, show your votes.

   4) Rauner has NO budget. Rauner agencies can not do tgeyr prescribed missions for citizens without a budget.

   5) Rahm Enanuel can’t flip Democratic House Seats “green” for Gov. Rauner. Read, re-read, learn.

   6) One state university may close in March, running out of money solely because of no budget under Rauner’s watch.

   7) Finally, this is a plan. From Rauner telling people, on camera, he will shut down the state, to Ron Sandack and his tweet, all that is being destroyed is being done, by Rauner, on purpose.

   It’s not “Fire Madigan”, it’s “Hooting Sandack” and a planned state destruction.

7. In the end, Rauner isn’t heloing himself, playing victim to his own words, like these, and has ZERO intention on governing.

   “OW, really? ‘Zero’ intention? What hyperbole!”

   Nope. Not alt all…

   You can’t govern with rhetoric like this. Can’t. That’s why.

8. ===He just gave blood…===

   Must have been thirsty.

9. Thanks Obama

   Comment by Missing G Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 11:48 am

10. I’m going to criticize the hashtag here. Are we discussing the attempt on the part of the state to take over Chicago, or the fact that Chicago State University may be shuttering in a month or two due to a lack of higher ed appropriations.

11. Because…Oscar!

    @FakeRauner: “Look, I love Oscar, and I’m glad, I’m glad he’s Rich’s dog. I love him. But you know what? We have a pension crisis. Rich makes an Oscar post. He doesn’t make a pension post. Come on.”

12. So who else can he blame? It will never be about his failures!

    Comment by illini Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 12:11 pm

13. Rauner has turned those 3 envelopes into about 13 so far:

    Envelope 1: Blame Quinn
    Envelope 2: Blame Madigan
    Envelope 3: Blame Unions
    Envelope 4: Blame Cullerton
    Envelope 5: Blame Rahm
    Envelope 6: Blame corrupt legislators
    Envelope 7: Blame university administrators
    Envelope 8: Blame …

    Too bad Rauner can’t stop writing envelopes and start governing.

    Comment by Norseman Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 12:11 pm

14. Norseman - my point exactly. You probably could have made the “Blame” list even longer!

    Comment by illini Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 12:13 pm

15. Word, please don’t use my nickname to describe the Governor (Surreal = Sir Reel).

    Comment by Sir Reel Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 12:14 pm

16. It’s too depressing here…think I’ll check on my stocks…

    Comment by Mouthy Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 12:30 pm

17. certain media just eatin this stuff up. It’s what inoculates the gov.

    Comment by Austin Blvd Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 12:55 pm

18. @Norseman: Don’t forget “Blame corrupt judges”!

    To whom it may concern: Isn’t there some sort of IL Constitution thingy that the gov swore to uphold and that paints “wilfully attempting to destroy the state” as a bad thing? Anybody?

    With all due props to “Dad’s Home State,” this has gone beyond “life imitates art imitates life” and has slid right into “theater of the absurd” territory.

19. He’s living in a bubble. He is surrounded by people who think and believe the same thing he does. It’s terrible leadership. Terrible decision making. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Such an embarrassment.

    Comment by Square Pegs Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 2:09 pm

20. Gov Rauner is similar to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. While Rudy can’t say one sentence that doesn’t tie back to 9/11; Gov Rauner can’t make one statement that doesn’t “blame Madigan”.

    Methinks he’s developed a complex.

    Comment by How Ironic Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 2:34 pm

21. “He just gave blood.”

    I never knew that vampires had blood. So who’s blood did he give?

    Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 2:34 pm

22. The plows put snow back in my driveway…because Madigan.

    Comment by zatoichi Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 2:45 pm

23. I’ve been successful at everything I’ve ever done….except defeat the Speaker.

    Comment by Stones Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 3:24 pm

24. Envelope 8: Blame anyone & everyone but me.

    Comment by Mama Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 5:10 pm

25. Huh?- maybe Dunkin’s???

    Comment by Anon221 Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 5:21 pm

26. He was just a little peeved that they gave him an apple after the blood donation instead of juice and cookies.

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Wednesday, Jan 20, 16 @ 8:09 pm

27. Clearly he can blame anyone. He would be generally be correct.

    At sometime all parties have to start fixing the problem.

    Still have a way to one that front.

28. Please start the recall process…
