By 2028 Illinois will be a tossup state, dont @ me.
Why are Republicans who live in solidly Democratic states so delusional about the prospects of Republican candidates in said states?
A Republican can't win Illinois in this political alignment, because they would need to both destroy the Democrat downstate AND do very well in the Chicago suburbs, and those two things can't happen at the same time. hell, all a Democrat needs to do to win Illinois is get 70% in Cook County and they can win statewide while losing every other county in the state.
