I've told several people that I am not voting this year, mostly because I don't want to get into a conversation about politics with anyone unless I'm sure they are Trump supporters. The nastiness surrounding the anti-Trump people is something I've never seen before. And I'm not going to try to change people's minds; it's just easier to avoid a confrontation.
I think there are a lot of "not voting" people that will vote for Trump.
Rahm should be toast in Chicago.
If blacks get their act together they can own the city of chicago mayor position for along time.
OMG. That would be great and "send-off" has the same amount of letters I think it would really say.
True dat. I'd like to see NO TOTALS reported until after the big metropolitan areas report.
'You first', as it were.
Move the Capitol to Ill. ALL the government workers can concentrate in a state that’s already blue. Won’t have to worry about neighbor states like Virginia. Put it smack dab in the middle of the state!
Yep. My 22yo son leans conservative, but his friends are average millennials. He says he doesn’t know anyone who isn’t voting Trump.
imho Hillary’s best option is to cancel the debates. she just doesn’t have a chance against trump.at best they’ll show that trump is the better man. at worst they’ll show hillary cracking under the pressure
Funny thing is, if Trump gets a landslide and takes states like Illinois, he will probably end up saving Kirk's seat.
Vote Trump!
Mark Kirk is really just a Democrat with an R on his chest. But he is our Democrat and if he wins in November the Senate will very likely be out of reach for the Dems.
Hellary’s campaign is on the verge of complete collapse. A knock out victory for Trump in the debates and we are looking at a landslide of 40+ States
How about - no thanks!
Cut IL in half, and let southern IL be Southern Illinois.
With the exception of heavily university-influenced Jackson county, and economically depressed Alexander county, where Cairo is located, we will go Trump.
Come on Chiraq. Riot, I know you want to.
IL is probably a lost cause. But I really want to see Trump to take WI and MN.
Ditto. I live downstate and there are very few signs out for any candidate of any party. Probably spending the money on social media ads..
There are two more US senate candidates one from the Conservative Party and the other Libertarian on the Illnois ballot. Be interesting to see what they do.

I live in Orland Park and see a few Trump signs but no Hillary signs. My neighbor has a Hillary for Prison sign which makes me smile.
I believe suburban Cook County COULD go Trump. DuPage, where I am, MIGHT go Trump too. Chicago I don't see going Trump. The big question is can the rest of the state offset Cook County Chicago.
I have stated for a while that IL could be a surprise... Not that I am predicting Trump will win there, but with Rahm’s complete fustercluck there and a generally unappealing candidate, turnout in Chicago could wind up depressed to a point where it won’t overwhelm the enthusiastic support for Trump throughout the rest of the state.
Again, not predicting a Trump win there, but the perfect storm of Rahm’s ineptitudes and alienations combined with Hillary’s absolutely non existent inherent support or enthusiasm could indeed wind up with a depressed turnout in Chicago to a point where it won’t overwhelm the rest of the state.
I am not predicting this will happen, just saying I would not be shocked if it did happen.
