Former IL Republican Party Chair Says Trump Can't Win, Hillary Better Alternative
CHICAGO - Former Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady, told Bill Cameron on "Connected to Chicago" that Donald Trump "cannot win the election." Brady, who is a Kasich delegate to the Republican National Convention, said there's still an outside chance that Trump will not receive the nomination. Brady told Cameron that Trump's solutions are not Republican solutions and that Trump's lack of organization ensures he will lose.
Brady said neither Abe Lincoln or Ronald Reagan would attend this year's convention because of Trump, and that he's not surprised that many members of the Illinois GOP Congressional Delegation aren't attending - although they usually don't.
Regarding the presumptive Democrat Party nominee, Brady told Cameron that FBI Director James Comey is "one of the most highly respected law enforcement people in the country" and that he had "no quarrel with his decision not to bring forward" an indictment of Clinton.
Brady admitted that no matter what happens, he's "certainly not voting for Donald Trump" in November; and thinks that four years of Hillary Clinton might be good in that it will allow the Republicans to get the Senate back in 2018, which he presumes the Republicans will lose this year. Brady said he "cannot stomach the idea of Donald Trump being in the White House for a minute," and that Hillary Clinton is a better alternative.
Brady's philosophy is: "If we're going to wreck it [the Republican Party], let's wreck it all the way" arguing that the GOP has to get off the social issues and back to what he describes as Ronald Reagan's themes of "national security and fiscal issues" (NOTE: Reagan ran on his now famous three-legged stool of free enterprise, strong defense, and pro-family social policies).

By the way, this guy was kicked out of his position by more conservative Republicans and he’s been butt hurt ever since.
“Clowns like this when they speak you can count on the Chicago Tribunes hand up their backside manipulating their jaws like a puppet show.”
Yes, and include the Chicago ‘Slum-Times’ and local alphabet news media.
ILL-ANNOY is a failed state, banana republic in the midwest, and a microcosm of all that is wrong when compromise of principles has led to iron-fisted rule of the Democrats with Republican subjugation.
You would think that Governor Rauner, the rich businessman, friend of many Democrats, never-held-political-office outsider, man of ideas would be a YUGE supporter of Donald J. Trump, the rich businessman, friend of many Democrats, never-held-political-office outsider, man of ideas. But NO. Rauner HATES Trump leading one to believe that 'Republican' Governor Rauner is now the happy pivot man of The Combine circle-jerk.
One positive feature of Trump’s candidacy, is he’s smoking out all the RINOs and pseudo-conservatives.
Yes, if Illinois Rats could build a wall, it would be to surround the State in order to prevent businesses from fleeing to more business friendly states such as Indiana.
He did indeed. Pat Brady was there for comic relief.
Watched the show religiously as a little kid a a , but never realize Nellybelle was up armored and had a gun port....even cooler Jeep than I thought.
There is not a sizable group of Republicans opting to vote Hillary. They are just more vocal than they usually are because they are the establishment of the Party. It is normally the 15% of the party that is disgusted with the establishment that votes against it.
The shoe is on the other foot and they will lose as usual. The only thing the establishment is good at is losing national elections.
And algore told us by now the icecaps would be melted...

Yes, Rauner is just another Rino that will be keeping the Springfield Governor’s chair warm for the next Democrat, probably little Lisa Madigan.
Rauner snubs Trump during visit to Chicago

CHICAGO Gov. Bruce Rauner gave his party’s presumptive presidential nominee the cold shoulder on Tuesday.
The Republican governor announced the formation of a school funding commission at the Thompson Center while Donald Trump was in town for a fundraiser just blocks away.
Rauner instructed reporters to keep their questions focused on the commission. Some strayed off topic anyway and asked the governor why he was not joining the presumptive leader of his party. Rauner declined to comment.
Ive said everything Im going to say about the presidential race, Rauner said.
But the governors only public comments came in March when he told students in Wilmette that he was horrified by the rhetoric in the Republican presidential campaign and that its ugly and its nasty and its weird. He stopped short of mentioning Trump’s name.
That same month, he also promised to back the eventual Republican nominee, regardless of who it would be. But he has refused to formally endorse Trump, declining to lead the Illinois delegation at the GOP Convention in Cleveland. In fact, he will not attend next week’s convention at all.
On Tuesday, Rauner ignored a question about where he would be during the convention.
More oozing creatures arise from the swamp
He ought to just admit the truth and switch his party registration
Typical Illinois Combine knucklehead.
If you mean GOPe republican then I agree
Trumps solutions are every bit as good as Ronald Reagans.
If you are carping go somewhere else
Not that sizable just noisy. Such is the way of traitors and petulant children
I live in IL and maybe I haven’t paid attention to the R party chairmen but I would have thought “Nellybelle” if anyone asked me who Pat Brady was.
If all they have is washed-up has-beens who nobody remembers, they ain’t got much!
Obviously this guy knows more than Sen Jeff Sessions.
Wasnt he Roy Rogers TV sidekick. Drove a jeep named Nellie Belle
That’s Pat Buttram your’re thinking of. Social commentator and commedian he also had a radio show on some the western stations.
The guy looks like an idiot.
