Bailey hints at Bost rematch

Posted in:

• Illinois

* From Darren Bailey’s live Facebook video yesterday…

So we got work to do. Stay tuned. We look forward to seeing many of you across the district and the state.

Across the district. If you’ve got signs out there, if you see signs, gather them up, throw them in your vehicle, take them somewhere and… send me the address. Most of you have my cell phone by now, most of you have my email. Send a personal message on the Facebook here.

Let me know an address. We’ll come by and pick up signs, we will collect those and put those in storage.

He’s putting his yard signs in storage?

Hmm.

1. maybe he’s just trying to avoid them going to the landfill. who knew he was such an environmentalist.

2. Bailey will run again. He got a taste of the big leagues when he was running for Governor and he wants that back in the worst kind of way. His Facebook profile says he works at being humble. I struggle to believe that

3. i knew it would be a useful quote but did not realize how quickly it would be needed but to quote a federal judge Just go away please go

4. 2 more years of the televangelist troll. Who would want to work in the Republican party while this false prophet runs around wrecking it sinply for his own Facebook glory?

5. He’s got them huge barns at the family farm to store them, which tangentially loses money more years than not without the help of the evil federal government’s farm subsidy programs, might I remind you.

6. Bailey puts the campaign signs in storage in much the same way Buffalo Bill puts the lotion in the basket.

7. Hey Darren, stop the bluster cause those hogs need tending.

   Comment by Frumpy White Guy Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 8:46 am

8. Bailey supports recycling. So he is a progressive, right?

   Comment by Terry Salad Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 8:46 am

9. Fundamentally, while they’re indistinguishable on the Trumpy merits, Bailey is just a lot more CRINGE than Bost. His public persona is just FULL OF CRINGE, and that’s so deadly to a higher-profile politician.

10. How can we miss you, if you won’t go away.

    Comment by Cornfield Cowboy Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 8:53 am

11. Maybe he’s just a packrat.

    I mean, have you *seen* his dining room/kitchen? That place has more tchotchkes than a TGIF.

    Comment by TheInvisibleMan Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 8:57 am

12. Bailey invites comparisons to the crocodile smile and toadstools immortalized in best-ever Christmas show, featuring Boris Karloff. But, let’s give the fella a break. If he wants his name off the landscape, that can’t be all bad.

    Enjoy your Who Roast Beast, Mr. Bailey.

13. “The time has come. The time has come. The time is now. Just Go. Go. GO! I don’t care how. You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Beetle, will you please go now!”

15. Somewhere in the great beyond, Lar “America First” Daley is smiling.

    Comment by Southside Markie Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 9:29 am

16. Public attention is a tough habit to kick. Let’s hope Bailey finds something else useful to do with his time.

    Comment by Friendly Bob Adams Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 9:32 am

17. Beetle might be hoping that Bost will retire a little early.

    Comment by Pius Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 9:38 am

18. The bummer about Bailey being a farmer (from Southern Illinois) is that he’s tied to the land, and probably not gonna pull up stakes and move to Florida with Rauner and Griffin and Proft anytime soon.

    Comment by 48th Ward Heel Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 9:39 am

19. He got a sign from god

20. ===probably not gonna pull up stakes and move to Florida===

    Ever hear of CSF farmers? Corn, Soybeans, Florida.

21. ‘So if I store these, I can charge my campaign fund storage fees, right?”

    Comment by Bruce( no not him) Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 9:55 am

22. Of course, he isn’t going to go away, he is never going to go away

    Comment by OneMan Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:02 am

23. Can’t wait to see his blimp commercial in 2026.

    Comment by ChrisB Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:04 am

24. Perhaps Gomer can join his Trump loving pal, Blagoof, on the permanent sidelines. The Donald will be there soon enough.

25. == Ever hear of CSF farmers? Corn, Soybeans, Florida.==

    Some of his biggest donors the last few years are very much in this pipeline. The land doesn’t disappear, they just reap the rewards of it from much nicer weather (excepting hurricane season). I’m sure he’ll have three hots and a cot down there eventually.

    Comment by fs Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:08 am

26. He needs something to set on fire or explode in his next campaign ad.

    Comment by Henry Francis Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:09 am

27. Feel free to keep losing.

    Comment by TJ Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:14 am

28. Yard signs make nice and cheap mobile stands for target practice. Just tape on a paper target and plink away.

    Comment by Cornerfield Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:30 am

29. Listen Darren, I talked to God about this and He said, “No.”

    Comment by JSI Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:30 am

30. His new business card reads…

    Darren Bailey
    Professional Candidate
    Hobby Farmer

31. Do the right thing folks and burns those signs

    Comment by Shytown Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:35 am

32. Bailey just got a revelation that he next is supposed to run for President, Rumor is that he is getting stickers made which say FOR PRESIDENT, which he will glue or staple on his retrieved signs.
    God help us all.

    Comment by The Old Man Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:40 am

33. Darren Bailey is the aging football player who wears his high school letterman’s jacket everywhere. Yes, he is that guy.

    Comment by Rudy’s teeth Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:42 am

34. Oh Lord just go away

    Comment by Frida's boss Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 10:52 am

35. Do people ever win in head to head rematches where they previously lost? Nixon won after losing, but he wasn’t facing Kennedy again.
    Assuming Bost doesn’t face a massive scandal, in 2 years, he’s still the same guy. Bailey knows his electoral weaknesses now, but the same is true vice versa.

    Comment by cermak_rd Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 11:10 am

36. Referring to it as The Facebook is probably my favorite part.

    Comment by Blitz Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 11:11 am

37. Darren Bailey has a wife, a family, many grandchildren, a farming empire thanks to government subsidies yet he is not content. Is Bailey’s ego driving him to another campaign? Time for Bailey to give his voice and those teeth a rest.

    Comment by Rudy’s teeth Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 12:08 pm

38. =Do people ever win in head to head rematches where they previously lost?=

    I’m not sure that history is all that telling in our present environment. There have been lots of firsts the last 8 years or so.

    The GOP will continue to be divided through internal conflict. MTG is once again calling for the ouster of a speaker. Republicans, including Bost, will have to pick a side. For Bailey that translates to further opportunities to exploit the divisions for his own benefit.

39. If you’re a farmer, they make decent makeshift snow fences.

    Comment by Dirty Red Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 12:19 pm

40. Go away Darin. Tend to your taxpayer subsidized farm and your Taliban school.

    Comment by Stormsw7706 Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 1:06 pm

41. === Let’s hope Bailey finds something else useful to do with his time. ===

    Aren’t there any stacks of paper he can shoot at?

42. Do people ever win in head to head rematches where they previously lost?

    @Cermak Road:

    It is rare, but it has happened: John Quincy Adams edged Andrew Jackson in 1824 for the presidency, but Jackson won the rematch in 1828; Incumbent President Grover Cleveland lost to Benjamin Harrison in 1888 and won the rematch in 1892.

43. He’s going to Burma-Shave-the entire highway all the way to Springfield.

    Comment by Give Us Barabbas Friday, Mar 22, 24 @ 2:52 pm

44. ==Do people ever win in head to head rematches where they previously lost?==

    Some recent ones that come to mind.

    Bobby Schilling ran against Cheri Bustos after he lost to her in 2012. He lost by 7 points in 2012 and 11 in 2014.

    Betsy Londrigan lost to Rodney Davis in 2018 by .8 points. She lost in 2020 by 9 points.

    Good luck Darren.

    Bost.
