Question of the day

Posted in:

* Scott Reeder

State Rep. Jeanne Ives sounds like she’ll be a candidate for Illinois governor.

The Wheaton Republican is one of the most conservative members of the General Assembly and she is hopping mad at Gov. Bruce Rauner who she contends is not trustworthy.

Rauner angered many in his party by signing a bill last month providing state funding for elective abortions. He did this after promising multiple Catholic bishops and state lawmakers that he wouldn’t.

“He’s failed the integrity test. No one in the Legislature believes a word he says,” Ives said.

If Ives enters the race, she would be the only candidate opposing abortion rights in either the Republican or Democrat gubernatorial primaries.

  5. So many tempting things to say — almost all of them inappropriate and many that would justifiably prompt banishment. I think that I’ll stay quiet on this one.

  15. I’m not rauner.

    I need a pay check, so I’ll take the governor’s salary.

    I’m not going to be a volunteer as governor.

    I don’t have 9 houses.

  18. “Blame it on Madigan” - whoops, the other GOP Governor candidate already got that one. How about, “I never met a union that I liked” or “I have never seen a liberal idea that I liked”

  19. I Can Out Trump Trump

    Comment by Fayette County Thursday, Oct 26, 17 @ 10:18 am

  20. Is that a gay joke Guy? Appropriate on an Ives thread I suppose, but pretty much no where else. Lucky for you this is a blog and not a face-to-face encounter, if you know what I mean.

  23. And you thought Rauner was bad

    Comment by Anonymous Thursday, Oct 26, 17 @ 10:19 am

  24. I Like Trump

    Seriously. Trump got nearly twice the votes in the prez primary that Rauner got in the guv primary. Rauner’s obvious distancing of himself from Trump could be a real problem in a one-on-one primary with a solid Trump supporter.

  25. “I’m With Her?”

    Comment by Ron Burgundy Thursday, Oct 26, 17 @ 10:19 am

  26. - 47th Ward -

    Apologies, bud.

    “Ives for Lives”… then “HB40″ with a “no” circle with that line thru it.

    Ives can thank me later… But if she uses it, I want one of those signs, sighed by Rep. Ives.

    “Deal?”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Oct 26, 17 @ 10:21 am

  27. Vote for me, I’ll out Trump, Trump.

    Comment by Gruntled University Employee Thursday, Oct 26, 17 @ 10:21 am

  28. Rauner Lied, Babies Died

    Her campaign really is going to be about all of his broken promises, including what Ives and the GOP base sees as the most important promise of all.

    Ives’ campaign ain’t gonna be about Jeanne Ives.

  30. ==Is that a gay joke Guy?==

    No. I guess being hypersensitive and goofy is appropriate on this thread too.

    == Lucky for you this is a blog and not a face-to-face encounter, if you know what I mean.==

    You sure I’m the lucky one? Lighten up…a lot…Francis.
