A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
If Darren Bailey is catastrophe for Illinois Republicans, let me give you a hint about who your candidate will be. His initials are DB. It’s what your masters want. So be good little Illini and bend over and take it.

If Prickster wants Bailey as his opponent, Prickster will get Bailey. Prickster’s money will ensure he gets the candidate he wants.
Are Republican primary voters too dumb to choose their own candidate? Why would they choose Bailey just because JB wants him to be the opponent? It sounds like you’re saying someone providing money for 30 second sound bit commercials is enough to sway the average ignorant Republican voter. No, Bailey will be the candidate if the majority of Republican voters want him. If you don’t like it, take it up with the majority of the voters.
It is people who vote in the Republican primary. They are not all Republican voters. Or perhaps votes counted in the Republican party.
Everybody knows money doesn’t sway elections at all. That’s why they spend so much of it every election cycle.
Where is Ted’s standing now?
Bailey lost last time on the abortion issue. Those voters will not forget. He’s not smart enough to address that issue by saying let Illinois voters decide and support the result. The Ilinois Republican party needs to address the 14 Illinois counties that voted Kamala in the last election.
We’re already swimming in garbage heap. Running for IL Gov. in this state against a billionaire is a suicide mission. And I’m a loyal Republican, as loyal as there is, especially since most of the Bush and Reagan era Republicans and have defected to the Democrats. Yet I’m still here, supporting a party that receives less than 25% of the votes, while a majority my neighbors and friends sneer at my politics.
Where is the RNC in IL? They do nothing to help voters change this state from the far left, corrupt, Democratic socialist.
If Bailey doesn’t realize he’s a democratic patsy , then he sure doesn’t deserve to be a governor
Exactly!
Bailey needs to withdraw
Pretty sure the Democrat street Orc’s from the public unions will be out for Bailey.
