This is a perfect example of what is wrong with ILL-ANNOY, and why we have "The Combine" uni-party. There is an attitude of Stockholm Syndrome by the failed Illinois Republicans having been held hostage by Speaker Madigan for 40 years. They work with him by employing his law firm to help Republicans and others avoid property tax. Madigan has cowed them into dark corners to the point that we now have a piece of legislation which calls for a Governor-appointed Islamic Council which will soon be signed by Republican Governor Bruce Rauner. MANY Republicans voted in favor of the Islamic Council.

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.

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.

“I’ve said everything I’m going to say about the presidential race,” Rauner said.

But the governor’s 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 “it’s ugly and it’s nasty and it’s 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.
