Has anyone seen the new Bruce Rauner ad in Illinois?

It features 3 neighboring Govenors, including the Koch owned Scott Walker thanking (aka blaming) Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan for their states success.

What Bill Shit! Rauner has done literally nothing as governor except plunge the state in billions in debt by refusing to pass a budget for 2 years and WI, IN and MO workers have suffered under these GOP governors.

If it were me, I would counter with an ad featuring workers from the 3 states stating how "Right to Work" has fucked them over.

Of course when you can run constant ads like Rauner and Pritzker, how could it?

a month ago. I've gotten a few more since then. I am really sick of millionaires and billionaires buying elections not just in Illinois but throughout the entire country whether it be Senate seats or governorships.

My last real life puke contact tells me this is why puke Governors avoid Trump. Yes I have seen the greedy little bastards in that ad. Even when Trump goes there is plenty of shit in the GOP pile.

I have seen that damn Rauner ad way too many times already. The smmirky smugness of those governors makes to want to smack them all upside the head, as they saying goes. Especially Snot Walker.

I am also sick of the slick Pritzker ads, which run non-stop.
