Rauner again calls Pritzker, Madigan corrupt

[TexasTowelie]

With political ads on the air for more than a year, the Illinois State Fair may no longer be the traditional kickoff to campaign season. But still, Gov. Bruce Rauner kicked into high gear at the fairgrounds Sunday, calling out what he labeled as “corruption” and “self-dealing” by House Speaker Michael Madigan and Democratic gubernatorial nominee J.B. Pritzker.

The governor, speaking with The State Journal-Register after an event honoring veterans, said the November election “is for all the marbles,” saying his opponent, Pritzker, is “totally aligned under Madigan,” while he and statewide Republican candidates stand for lower taxes, jobs and term limits.

The message is not new. Rauner’s re-election campaign has been running ads labeling Madigan as “the most corrupt career politician in America,” with Pritzker as his potential wingman.

Though, for the record, neither Democrat has ever been charged with a crime or credibly accused of participating in illegal activities.

1. Rauner can't run on his record

For a very simple reason: He hasn't got one. There is nothing he can point to as an actual accomplishment.

4. The ads have been ridiculous.

And they have been going on for a long time. I hope most voters are getting tired of Rauner's ads.

I will be in Springfield Tuesday and Wednesday for Democrats Day and the brunch. Joe Biden is the keynote speaker.

I was lucky to get tickets. This looks like it will have the largest attendance ever!

I hope that you have a great time at the Democrats Day and brunch. I'd love to hear Biden's speech.
