re: #245 bratwurst

Sorry, that is not how I roll. I pilloried Mitt Romney and Rauner himself for shielding their wealth in the Caribbean. It is going to be hard for me to turn around and vote for someone who is involved in an even worse tax avoidance scheme (and then lied about it!) simply because there is a D after his name. You do you, I’ll do me.

If it makes you feel any better, Hillary had no problem whatsoever winning Illinois with a Republican governor in the state house. This is not a swing state where the sitting governor has significant power to swing elections.

Even a weak Governor signs or vetoes legislation, appoints unelected State department heads, reorganizes subservient departments, fills vacancies, pardons / commutes sentences and commands the State’s armed forces when they’re not called to Federal service.

That’s a hell of a lot of power to just passively hand to a Republican.
