It’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes as someone said. And the Democrats will be the ones counting. They owe too much to Jumbo Belly(tm) to let him lose. Wait, don’t I have to say it now instead of him since that’s a gender specific word?

To me it’s simple…

Do you want marxism or freedom…?

They are not mutually inclusive…

As long as Pritzker’s lies are accepted without question by the likes of MSM it will be hard to defeat him. Too many people believe, without reservation, what they see on TV. The budget is NOT balanced, the state is in dire financial straits. Pensions are sorely underfunded. We’re losing population and major players (Boeing, CAT, Citadel) whose tax and philanthropic contributions will be gone FOREVER. People migrating to Illinois are in the ‘taker’ class, not the ‘maker’ group. Schools are failing – the justice system is burdened with SJW leadership. We can only hope voters in Illinois will wake… Read more »

It’s sad that we even have to have this conversation. We have had such a lack of leadership and/or poor leadership in this state that one would think that it was a done deal; unfortunately it’s not. We are in Illinois after all. ;(

GETTING RID OF PRICKSTER SHOULD BE OUR MAIN CONCERN………CAN’T RELATE TO AVERAGE PEOPLE CAUSE OF SILVER SPOON MENTALITY AND ‘I HAVE MONEY’ SYNDROME WHICH HE THINKS ALLOWS HIM TO WALK OVER AND DO ANYTHING HE WANTS!!!……HOPEFULLY BAILEY HAS THE COMMON SENSE HE WAS BORN WITH TO DO THE JOB AND THE LEFT WILL ‘LEAVE HIM ALONE’ TO DO THE JOB

I can find you a deal on a new keyboard that doesn’t have a stuck caps lock key if you want.

Crime should be the major issue for Bailey ads.

He needs to put out ads that feature

— the BLM riots/looting/arson

— carjackings

— 50 plus shot in Chicago every weekends/including children

— CTA violence

— soft on crime prosecutors and judges

— crimes being committed by those let out of jail

— the downtown violent crime that has trashed the Loop/Michigan Avenue and driven away business from Chicago and Illinois

— defunded and demonized cops

— the Democrat laws that end cash bail and prevent cops from doing their job

According to national polls, the econony & jobs and inflation is the largest concern of voters. Crime actually polls lower slightly than the economy and inflation. Abortion, LGTBQ+ and climate change polls even lower. J6 is near the bottom of the list, few people care about it. But JB has to focus on the Abortion/J6 issues – the least popular polling issues – because he needs to rile up his base to show up in Nov. His base – outside of progressives – are apathetic right now and not feeling very excited about Nov. Biden is a noose around every… Read more »

Inflation is the number one issue — but crime is an issue that the Illinois GOP/Bailey can tie directly to Pritzker, on account of the Democrat pro-crime/anti-police laws that he signed — Bailey should take a lesson from Lee Atwater and go “full Willy Horton” in his campaign strategy

A Willie Horton strategy would be awesome. They’d say it’s racist or whatever but it works.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
