2017 IN REVIEW: Bruce Rauner and his money grabbers ruin Illinois
2017 was the year Rauner (and his friends) wrecked the Illinois GOP and pulled out the rug from pro-life and pro-Trump voters. Is it safe to say Rauner & Co. decimated the landscape for Republican candidates, possibly, probably insuring statewide defeats for Republicans for years to come? Rauner and his money grabbers at Illinois Policy […]

Anti-Trump Uihlein is funding the Raunerite “Republicans”
I spy with my Illinois eye. Downstate here. A very savvy political person from downstate has conveyed a message to me that the entire area (a conservative part of Southern Illinois) is “SICK OF THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN ILLINOIS“.
