Pritzker, Rauner Election Race Won’t Matter. Here’s Why.

Last update August 31, 2018Leave a Comment

Why is the Pritzker, Rauner election race irrelevant to Illinois? The General Assembly will aid, abet, and empower Pritzker. They’ll tax too much so they can spend even more. We’ll still be broke. Nothing will change. The masses who vote but don’t pay taxes will not be appeased. Instead, they will demand even more because they were promised the ranch. With Rauner we get more of the same: higher taxes, no pension fix, and a sanctuary state.

Until now Democrats were long-time supporters of government workers and labor interests. They just finished blasting the Supreme Court for the Janus public sector union decision and Republican anti-union policies will factor hugely into the coming midterm elections. How do federal officers who are also union members factor into the party’s agenda? That question creates a huge conflict for extremist party members who will be forced to pander to unions and illegal immigrants to bring out the November vote.
