Ya sure, that’s why they voted for him and WON

Some voters are uninformed…

 

Some voters are racist…

 

Some voters don’t think it’s a big enough deal  compared to other issues they concern themselves with…

Obviously blacks don’t see him as racist at all

I know, right? We are just now reaching peak buffoon. Thankfully the adults are back in the White House.

 

At least we've got that going for us, which is nice.

I see this disintegrated quickly. Let me try to refocus. We have conservatives of various types here. We also have various types of liberals. Who are the serious political leaders you admire today? The serious business or economic leaders? Are we a 100% look at me, troll the other side society?

Lee Zeldin

 

Rep. Stephanie Murphy

 

And Ron Desantis  (Gets results)

No, just see things for the way they are. Progressive candidates have lost, moderates are winning.

It would be fantastic if the cult would demand the same level of perfection for their politicians and staffers like they do of their Democrat counterparts.

Thanks for the honest/non-snarky answer. I don’t know Stephanie Murray. Lee Zeldin, I kind of don’t know enough about him. Haley is at least what I was getting at: not constantly craving attention, seeking to stir up outrage. I would like to see what the policy wonk side of her looks like. DeSantis? Dude, you still have a chance with voters like me. You’re a smart guy. Play that role, not the minor league Trump role.

So you’re saying the Red Menace speech in which he called half the countries terrorists didn’t bring everyone together? Have you tried listening to it backwards?

I was very skeptical of JB Pritzker originally because super wealthy businessmen don’t have the best track record. But he seemed focused on surrounding himself with the smartest and most talented people he could get and actually listening to them.

 

When he was sworn in as Governor of Illinois, our credit rating was one level above junk status and there were rumors the ratings agencies were mulling putting us through that threshold. Our bill backlog was over $16 billion and the debt service was absolutely out of control because of the high rates that come with such poor credit.

 

Since JB took over, we’ve received the first credit upgrade for the state in 20 years, and then got five more subsequent upgrades. 
 

Additionally, the bill backlog has shrunk dramatically (was down to just $3.5 billion at one point), reducing debt servicing costs. 
 

I also really like our comptroller, Susana Mendoza, who has been a big part of reducing the backlog and getting our fiscal house back in order. Her ill-fated mayoral run aside (I did some phone banking for her), she’s been an excellent comptroller.
 

Illinois still has a long way to go to fully recover from decades of mismanagement, but it seems like we’re finally headed in the right direction.
 

As a side note, during the recent election there was a joke twitter account proclaiming JB as the heir to Genghis Khan who would unite the Great Lakes under a khanate. It was mostly just silly but it was fun and not only did JB reference it in his acceptance speech, but he personally called the guy behind the account to thank him, saying that the humor was very much enjoyed by him and the campaign staff.

I agree.  It's time for a woman President not named Clinton or Harris.  What a mess.
