2. Not as savvy as he thinks he is...

He avoided social issues like the plague hoping the "r's" would hold their nose and vote for him. IL has too many areas where voters would vote for Hitler if there was an "-r" behind his name on the ballot. In my previous voting precinct, a person ran for a county seat as a Dem and lost. Two years later, he ran on the same platform but with an "-r" behind his name. He won the seat.

Rauner, walking poster child for why money has to removed from politics, was not a Thompson or Edgar gov candidate. I too think he will not be re-elected. We can thank the "r's" in DC for the help (aka the "tax reform" package). Upside is we have a Dem candidate (a viable candidate) for my congressional district.
