That might be the ONLY reason for Rauner. His success at anything really is super bad. He says publicaly Madigan is in charge. WTF??? He promised us he would shake up Springfield and then does nothing. He does not deserve my vote. I have no confidence in him.

However, he is Republican, and so for that, i might vote. I dont want more democrats in power.

This is like trying to decide if i want to be stabbed or sliced open.

Many people will vote for Rauner simply because he is not doing anything. They don't want him to really do anything because that means spending more money. As long as he is a giant brick blocking the way of a lot of Democratic spending, they may vote for him. When he says taxes are too high, and property taxes are too high, that is like music to the ears of so many people.

I want a governor that will push to legalize recreational marijuana in Illinois. No I am not a stoner and that is not the reason. I believe the revenue it would bring in would be huge and Illinois sure needs revenue.
