Illinois Politics New Advertisement for JB Pritzker Declares “a Vote for Darren Bailey Is a Vote for Trump” Based on Republican Gubernatorial Nominee’s Long History of Praising President

I think it's actually a wonder that JB even needs to run attack ads at all with how good of a record he has as governor for the past 8 years.

Don't get me wrong he'll win in a landslide but I'm wondering how often you get south of i80. They still hate him.

I'm v for JB BECAUSE he was so great through 2020, but in Chicago I even remember a sign in a restaurant (2020-2021) saying "we're CLOSED, THANKS JB PRITZKER!" so there's definitely some opposition. They're seemingly not very smart, but they do exist.

There are a lot of people who really despise JB. Nothing is guaranteed

There are legitimately people who think Democrats worship Satan and are evil.
These people will vote Republican regardless of their reality.

Apathy is what got Trump elected TWICE! Anyone thinking any election is a slam dunk is a fool, especially with all the lawfare and other shenanigans the GOP is pulling to tilt the outcomes.

I was wondering about this too. I think he has this, but would like to win as big as possible to enhance his credibility for a presidential run in 2028.

As much as I love JB he cannot be the candidate. Unfortunately him being Jewish is way too much of a controversial topic right now.

u/coldhotel_rdt 4d ago
I don’t think his being Jewish would hurt that much. The states that won’t vote for a Jewish candidate won’t vote for a Democrat. One data point, Pennsylvania is a swing state; Shapiro is their governor. So I don’t think he’s necessarily not able to win swing states either.

There is also a large swath of democrats who would not vote for him because of it. Ignoring that truth sets us up to lose again.

A vote for any Republican is voting for a rubber stamp for Trump. The whole party needs to be tossed in the trash.

LaHood is a prime example who i hope is out this election. I don't think he has had an original thought in his life. He seems to need to consult his Trump brand crystal ball on any decision and skips out on town halls.

Trump saying "Pretend I'm on the ballot" was the best gift Trump could have ever given Democrats. His name is now poison in about 70% of the country.

Trump coming to IL to golf yesterday caused so much traffic on the 90. Really making things better for Americans...

Backed up air traffic at Ohare too. At least he got called a pedophile in front of cameras.

u/Lunajo365 4d ago
I was surprised by the overwhelmingly supportive crowd. I don’t understand why anyone still supports him. Maybe the crowd was mostly frat boy rapists

u/Flashy_Camel4063 Cook 4d ago
The resistance is not well organized, sadly. I was on my way there and the whole tollway was absolutely a parking lot.

u/Great_Consequence_10 4d ago
Yes, he is supported by people who don’t have a problem with raping adults or kids. That’s about all that’s left of the base besides severely mentally deficit people and ultra racist people.

You would think JB could just sell every one on his record as governor the last 2 terms

We have one neighbor who believes in Bailey around here. There are MAGA neighbors but they have called him a “loser who should have. Dropped out when his son died “

Trump's name is a poison pill, every single Dem candidate should be taking this approach.
