I've noticed all the "Tea Party leaders" who pimped Rauner in the primary over ACTUAL conservative candidates are now backtracking and claiming they "only supported him in the general election because Quinn would have been worse"

I hope Illinois FReepers haven't forgotten the Rauner cheerleading that went on during the primary. These so-called "conservative leaders" should have ZERO credibility with anyone with an IQ in the double digits.

Here's a good one from Stephen Moore at National Review (although I think this drivel was written after the primary)

"If Illinois were to elect a reform-minded governor in a deep blue state that’s hemorrhaging cash, it would be a thunderbolt to the political class around the nation. Illinois could become a laboratory experiment about whether conservative ideas can work in a state that has been ruled by teachers’ unions and a self-serving political machine in Springfield and Chicago."

I wonder what he thinks of the "conservative results" of that "laboratory experiment" now?

Here's some of the "fiscally conservative results" of Rauner's "reform" governorship, BTW:

1. Sanctuary State
2. CPS Bailout
3. Taxpayer Funded Abortions
4. Gender Modified Birth Certificates
5. Automatic Voter Registration
6. Zero Reforms

With Republicans like Rauner, who needs Democrats ?
