Take My State…Please

If you want an example of what I mentioned in my last post, look no farther than Illinois. For most of the last 40 years both houses of the Illinois legislature have had veto-proof Democratic majorities. For most of that period they’ve had the same leadership. For most of the last 25 years they’ve also held the Governor’s Mansion. Who does Democratic gubernatorial candidate J. B. Pritzker blame for the state’s woes? Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, the only Illinois Republican presently holding statewide office.

As has been quipped you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Apparently a lot of those some of the people live in Illinois.
