* From the Rauner campaign…
Gov. Rauner pushed this week for meaningful economic and political reforms to bring back Illinois.
In Rockford, he highlighted the need for job-creating reforms to grow manufacturing jobs. In an op-ed published by the Springfield Journal-Register, Gov. Rauner explained the need for the legislature to pass redistricting reform following the Supreme Court’s decision to block a citizen’s initiative to enact Fair Maps.

FACEBOOK LIVE
On Tuesday, Gov. Rauner participated in his first ever Facebook Live forum - taking questions live from participants on the popular social media platform. He answered questions on the state’s budget, the need for term limits, redistricting reform and other topics.
* The liberal Illinois Working Together group posted a Facebook video on Wednesday touting what it stated were Gov. Rauner’s “four most outrageous claims” during his Facebook Live chat.
Facebook stats show the IWT video has 15,000 views. Facebook has Rauner’s live chat at just shy of 14,000 views as I write this.
* Rauner’s video is much longer, of course, and people greatly prefer short videos. So, the Rauner folks posted a new video yesterday that’s only about a minute and a half long and already has 2,500 views. The new video talks solely about the new state bicentennial commission. Good idea.

So… The propaganda needs to be propagandized?
That’s… interesting.

I guess some people think that if you keep repeating the same talking points every day, every time you speak, every time obliging media prints that same worn out mantra that sooner or later people will start believing it.
Questionable strategy, but what else have you got!

If you claim your “economic reforms” are “meaningful,” you need to demonstrate that through economic projections using the tools of the trade.
In a New York minute, GOMB produced projections going out 14 years that predicted a progressive income tax would have a statistically insignificant economic impact.
On the Turanound Agenda, crickets, ever since their original projections were laughed out of town and disowned by the governor himself.
When this administration talks “economics,” they’re really talking partisan politics. If they could sell their agenda on the “economics,” they would have done so long ago.

The governor of the 5th largest state in the nation is actively engaged in a Facebook fight over who can get more views?

The only way Rauner can fully learn Trump’s keys to successful campaigning, is to try his hand at Twitter.
