McCann is the most competent person Pritzker has working for him. He’s doing his bit.

it took a while but finally the “Conservative” candidate attacks the Democratic frontrunner.

Conservatives who see no difference between Rauner and JB are more likely, than not, to either stay home or vote “other.”

That only helps JB.

Interesting the receiver of this mailer identified themselves as a “suburban Republican.” Is that any suburb or a Chicago suburb?

Chicago suburb

===Is that any suburb===

Chicago suburb. Don’t be dense.

I love it when candidates say they will unilaterally repeal legislation.

Rauner is an uber-left, costal, limousine liberal.

McCann’s not wrong.

“Conservatives who see no difference between Rauner and JB are more likely, than not, to either stay home”

Your dreaming - they will skip the top of the ticket and vote the rest of the ballot.

Sam might get 2nd yet

Sam keeps this up and he will be running a construction company again.

“And support grown men entering women’s bathrooms”

Lol

Sam is laughing all the way to election night.

Yeah, when’s that ever happened? Top of the ballot drives turnout.

I like that the mailer points out Rauner’s pro-choice stance. In my experience, many people who consider themselves conservative and who say they support Rauner, don’t know about SB40. Sam could even frame it as Rauner and Madigan working together to allow taxpayer funded elective abortions to get more bang for his buck.

If sent to suburban hard R’s this will be effective.
DuPage County went for Jeanne 53% all the collars but one voted for her. This solidify’s the message those folks believed in the primary, Rauner is a con man.
Hopefully Sam stayed to the Hard R’s in the districts rather than a large swath.
Between his Fox ad and these mail pieces if he can get to a decent number in the suburbs of angry white folks, and there are many, he will put up way more than 5%. More like a solid 8%

Dear senator McCann. Please send this to every Republican in western illinois. The people with blinders on need to know.

“Angry white folks” who want JB Pritzker to be Governor?

== McCann is the most competent person Pritzker has working for him. ==

JB is going to need competent people in his administration.

Right now this campaign of Sam’s is a 2 fer: payback and a possible future job

===JB is going to need competent people in his administration.===

I’m going to watch closely, if Pritzker wins, which Senior Crew stay in Illinois, which head off to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina… which Presidential campaigns have the senior staffer “gypsies” lined up.

If Pritzker wins, I want Pritzker to succeed. I’m rooting for a competent Administration.

So angry white folk is less likely to vote for JB?

Comment by Real Friday, Oct 26, 18 @ 2:17 pm
Depends on what they’re angry about.

Comment by Cubs in '16 Friday, Oct 26, 18 @ 2:32 pm
FYI… Chicago suburban female, pro-life, straight R voting record received this mailing.

==Depends on what they’re angry about.==

Judging by the number of comments, today it’s a JB staffer wearing “blackface”. Should be back to Guatemalan refugee caravans or false flag conspiracy theories by Sunday though
