Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Someone should follow the money trail for his campaign. Is he a legitimate candidate or a spoiler to help Pritzker? He needs to drop out. The IL RNC needs to help IL.
I think if you follow the money you might find Bailey being supported by Pritzker and the Democrats in the Primaries. Many feel, including myself, that a more moderate candidate might have a chance against Pritzker but Bailey certainly doesn’t. He may even garner more votes than one might think because at least it would be an alternative to two very bad other choices.
Nothing about cutting the state budget, the #1 need for Illinoisans
