IL-GOV Illinois Public Opinion: Pritzker +13

Safe D, Rauner's getting blanched.

But in the end, this.  Shame ... IL gets what it deserves, I guess.

After 4 years of scumbag Rauner, it deserves relief.

It was very enlightening to hear muon2 (whom I had the pleasure to meet last weekend!) talk about this situation.  Rauner certainly made mistakes and should have compromised more/chosen his battles better; I also think he has way too much pride.  But scum?  RELIEF?!  LOL, Pritzker will not "relieve" anything.  He'll raise Illinois' sky-high taxes even more.  Population decline will continue.  Illinois pretty clearly needed its governing philosophy to move right when it came to the budget, and that is what Rauner tried.  He certainly could have gone about it better, but in the end his reward was getting kicked out of office for more of the same.  Again, IL deserves what it gets.

His backing and support for the Janus case will always make him a scumbag. Illinois needs a governor that respects Labor.
