Does Anyone Here Think That It Was The Dems That Took Out Pat Quinn?...... [View all]

After I read today that Bill Daley is on Rauner's transition team I got to thinking. Rauner and Rahm are friends. Bill Daley on the transition team. Hmmmmm.....

Pat Quinn is a real honest man wanting to do the right things for Illinois and perhaps doesn't get along real well with Madigan and the boys Springfield. It's been said in the past that the Dems get along better with a Rethug governor.

Putting all this together I got to thinking about the 2000 election judges that didn't show up in Chicago on Tuesday due to the robo calls they got. A lot of voters in Chicago were hit by this. Lots of long lines, confusion, etc. I would think a lot of Chicago votes would come in for Pat Quinn. If they were somehow impeded - maybe it would hurt Quinn and help Rauner.

Now who has access to the telephone numbers of those judges? Thinking that this is a pretty well Democratic state - I would think that more Dems had access to those numbers than any Rethugs.

Does anyone think that maybe Pat Quinn wouldn't play ball with the state legislators and wouldn't cut deals with them and was going about doing the things that he felt were best for Illinois - that the Dems in Springfield said - we don't want him as our Governor anymore and we could probably get along better and get more of what we want from a Rethug governor.

Just a thought - if the investigation of those robo calls goes nowhere or gets quashed - maybe some from his own party did Pat Quinn in.

I heard many people blaming Rauner for those robo calls today. Now I wonder if it might have been made to look like Rauner was behind those calls to protect the people that really did in Pat Quinn.

Just a thought.
