Illinois Governor Commercial

Various GOP Governors from states either bordering Illinois or very close. Profusely thanking Madigan of Illinois, for creating jobs in Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana.
Geez I truly hate that commercial. Total lies across the board, from all Governors!
Runs in STL alot, so much I turn channel when It comes on.

Anyone else see this and dislike it as much?
Inquiring minds and all that

in Northern Illinois, near the Wisconsin and Iowa borders. It stinks.

Rauner has been able to buy some influence. Even loyal Democrats think Madigan is a problem. He is not. He is what has kept us from being just like Walker's Wisconsin, or like a third world country. It is tough to have to explain this even to my fellow Democrats. We need to let Madigan do his job, and GOTV to get rid of Rauner. Let the other states worry about getting rid of their GOP governors. We will take care of our own problems, thank you very much.

I live in the Metro East, work in North County. Hate Greiten and Rauner. When I first saw the commercial months ago I looked up job creation by state. Missouri was one state ahead of Illinois. There is another Rauner commercial running bragging about creating jobs during his first term. So which is it? I also hate the one where he brags about school funding since he fought it tooth and nail for almost two years and we finally got a budget in spite of him not because of him.

and I thought Rauner was a top-notch businessman??? doesn't seem like it...I live in MO and we have to put up w/ Eric Greiten's hogging the camera anytime he can get away w/ it...a lot of us here in MO land think that Greiten is wanting to run for national office and the MO governor's office is just stepping stone ...
