Hope the checks from the DNC, JB the Hutt, and his PACs clear before he finishes this attempt at splitting the “R” vote. Corbett is just another part of the grifting Illinois Combine.

Illinois elects its dumbest.

That’s one way to siphon off votes from Bailey, who doesn’t stand a snowman’s chance in Haiti of winning anyway. Karma for Bailey killing the mayor of Aurora’s governor bid, an election that stood a decent chance of electing a Republican governor.
