This is Illinois, though and in an anti-Trump wave is felt it will be in Obama's homestate.

Illinois has felt the biggest dip in jobs and Rauner hasn't done much to quell the dissatifaction of the job market or declining wages in Illinois.

I see this race shapping like the 2020 race, an ethnically challenged Billionaire Rauner, who is deeply unpopular with the blue collar minorities, but popular with white working class.

As I see it, as Rauner goes, so does Trump/Pence(if impeachment)

Dems are likely to regain the governorship, but never count them out.

Well, with Lisa Madigan resigning and the anti Madigan message has gotten through to Democrats all over the state.  Illinoians think the Democratic legislative process needs a united Democratic gov't, as Bliss as its Governor.  Pritzer or Bliss can beat Rauner. With a polarized parliament.

Having a businessman Rauner doesn't help his chances with Trump in the WH

Trump phenomenon polarizing politics is overwhelming Rauner compassionate conservatism in the state like IL, NM, ME, CA. That voting for Hillary.  And Pritzker hasn't been investigated like Rod Blagojevich.

Cheri Bustos is the establishment frontrunner, but choses not to run for anything, Bliss is the alternative.

Don't underestimate Rauner, it's Likely Dem, but he is a skilled campaigner, as Quinn found at, at the end, wherr the race was tilting towards him again
