“If Madigan is the LG, we get a new Speaker. That’s win-win”

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 2:44 pm
I get the strategy and I suppose it’s their only shot but it’s hardly a rationale for reelection.

Rauner can and will scream Madigan until he’s blue in the face but at some point, he’s going to have to give people a reason to want him to continue as governor and that’s where it all falls apart.

oops, didn’t notice it was a caption contest. My bad.

If he really wanted to smear the Pritzker name the association would read “Pritzker / Rauner”

Look, I saw Pritzker went Blue and Gold, which is MY color scheme that - Norseman - made a wonderful logo, and I said nothing.

Now these signs are Blue and Gold too… to riff of the Pritzker theme…

(Sigh)

I just want it noted somewhere I had these colors first, and this is just uncool.

Sheesh.

Rauner must not know in blue Illinois a Trump/Rauner sign would do more damage.

Comment by Real Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 3:12 pm
Rauner
Dunkin
Highest Taxes
Most Corruption

Comment by Ducky LaMoore Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 3:13 pm
Pritzker/Madigan
Higher taxes
More corruption

And yet still infinitely more effective than Bruce Rauner

“The sign that said Pritzker hates puppies and sunshine was a bit wordy, to be honest.”

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 3:20 pm
“More corruption”
Is that saying the Rauner administration has found the sweet spot for the acceptable amount of corruption?

Comment by Ducky LaMoore Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 3:21 pm
It would fit more with the theme of the day if “Pritzker” was framed within a pair of lips, and “Madigan” was contained within the outline of a human posterior, maybe with “Kish’m Tuchas” as a caption.

“Tastes great. Less filling.”

Comment by NoGifts Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 3:26 pm
Wouldn’t it be a better poster if it was

JB
Madigan

I know, Rauner’s BTIA(tm) Crew isn’t known for details

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 3:27 pm
Higher taxes and more corruption said the pot (rauner) to the kettle (jb).

Comment by Al Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 3:37 pm
It will work with the mouth breathers. Too bad for Rauner they are a distinct minority-and were even more so before product safety standards put the brakes on Darwinism.

It doesn’t make me dislike Rauner any less,

“Let’s make not sure everyone knows Pritzger’s name by November.”

(The names are big, the message small. The names will stick, the message, maybe not.)

Comment by Pot calling kettle Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 3:57 pm
I agree with OW that having JB on the sign would have been better than Pritzker. The low information democrat voters probably don’t even know JB’s last name.

Comment by Trump2020 Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 4:10 pm
===The low information democrat voters===

Your utter ignorance is showing, lol

First “Democrat”… ugh.

Second, this is designed for anyone but Democrats/Hard D’s

I know it felt good to type, but I dunno if you grasp what’s going on with the sign.

BTW - Does Bruce think if he says “Corruption” enough times Beetlejuice will appear?

Get back to me when you have something called…proof.

INCOMPETENCE

BRUCE RAUNER

That is how it is done.

Give Pritzker a year or two with total D legislature and we probably get the same offenses as we saw from Blago

On election day I did not see the Pritzker/Madigan ticket, so I voted for the Pritzker/Stratton ticket.

Comment by Just A Dude Wednesday, Aug 15, 18 @ 7:27 pm
What I can’t understand is how whoever set up the event put those signs behind the Governor and all the Republican speakers. I doubt anyone of the cameras went in far enough to capture the small print at the bottom. Not a great visual.

Comment by 44th Thursday, Aug 16, 18 @ 7:50 am
Finally Rauner is on message.

This is a contest between re-electing perhaps the most incompetent governor in my lifetime and giving the worst politician in IL history complete control of the government.

The best part is JB believes he does not have to even pretend he is not a Madigan Hack and he may be right.

Yeah, the guy worth $4.3B is spending more than $100 million of is own dough to sell state appointments for $25K a pop.

You’re not so good at the arithmetic.
