Poll calls start about possible IL GOP gubernatorial primary

Jeanne Ives, please!

Jeanne Ives. I would NEVER vote for Rauner!

Just no.
From the names listed as possibles, I bet I know who is footing the bill for this one.
I wish I could say that I am shocked that Proft is arrogant enough to throw his own name in there, but I’m not.

If they call me the answer will be that nobody can run in the Illinois GOP that would get me to vote for them. In fact I’ll hope they’ll lose so as to make the state party’s demise more imminent.

I won’t support Rauner or any candidate who supports Rauner.

If you vote against Bruce Rauner, you are voting FOR Mike Madigan!
Bruce Rauner has been very very generous with the Tea Party and that’s why I continue to support my Governor!

So you like killing babies, or are you just star struck by Rauner being nice to you?

‘North Cook Tea Party’ is FAKE – intentionally lies about TEA party issues

“North Cook Tea Party” is full of BS. I lead the largest tea party in the state and one of the largest in the country. I know every tea party in Illinois, and “North Cook Tea Party” does NOT EXIST. The (remaining) tea party groups in Illinois are all completely independent, autonomous entities and NO ONE speaks for all of them, including “Illinois Tea Party”. The lie, “Rauner has been very very generous with the tea party” is a CROCK. I cannot speak for any group except my own, West Suburban Patriots, but We cannot be bought although some have tried. Just ask my Leadership Team– they can affirm that I rejected a $5,000 check from one such unsavory character. It’s called “PRINCIPLES” people, and some of us still believe in those. Rauner was done a long time ago, and many of us saw it coming. There WILL be a meaningful Primary next March.

Well said

Since his entire track record has been codifying Madigan’s agenda a more logical argument can be made that a vote for Rauner is a vote for Madigan.

State Sen. Kyle McCarter for gov.

A good vote for State Sen. Kyle McCarter

Can’t Brady take a break? How many times is he going to do this and lose before he gets that no one wants him as governor?

What – Amy Jacobson wasn’t on the list?

If he will not protect our children, he will not protect us. I will support those who support life.

Do not reply to any of these polling calls.
Many are “push-polls,” in other words, are RIGGED for one candidate.
Better yet, LIE to the pollster.
Believe me, it’s FUN. Screws up their statistics really well.

Word on the street in National Committeewoman Demetra Demonte is interested in a run for Govenor. A principled conservative, full of energy and someone conservatives can trust!!!!

LOL! She was a good foot soldier and toted the party line during the 2014 election.

Brady did a good job in his race for governor. Unfortunately the Republican Party backed the liberal Republican incumbent running for Senator (whatever happend to him?) The SOB ran as a North Shore independent and never to my knowledge endorsed Bill or appeared on the same dis with him. Bill had stupid staff on which he relied as well. He snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.
What makes it worse is that to get a majority in at lest one House in Springfield would have taken winning the Gov ( race and the the Senate majority. That demanded three election cycles to reach the the 1990 and then the 2010 electiona qhixh were necessary to control the redistricting oe at least veto it. Now we are going to wait through 2020 without that power which means 2020.
There is no cross state Republican Base. No branch of the Party ia strong enough to claim it

KYLE MCCARTER FOR GOVERNOR.
