Hope all the Dems that voted for these guys are happy

[Mr. Illini]

I expected this kind of craven behavior from Rauner, didn't quite expect it from Baker. Very disappointing.

Hassan even more surprising and disappoining :/

[Mr. Illini]

Good, this is what the people want, and its very sensible in the wake of the Paris attacks.  Rahm even declined to criticize the decision when asked about it.  There is bipartisan support for this

He also refused to give his support to it, so where's the bipartisan support?

"The United States government is reviewing anybody and all of their papers. That's a year away from the present moment. My one word is, security and our values go hand in hand. The United States government is in the vetting process, but our values are one in which we remind ourselves that we are an open, welcoming society. So the United States government, in conjunction, is actually vetting any of the migrants that are going to Europe." - Rahm

If he opposed it he would have flat out said so.  This is Emmanuel we're talking about, he has no qualms about attacking Rauner.  The fact that he declined to speaks for itself

What he said is in no way sufficient to declare bipartisan support in Illinois for this.

Additionally, you exaggerate Rahm's criticism of Rauner. Of course he has had some clashes with the Governor - he's a Democratic mayor of a city that voted firmly against the Republican governor. Yet, how can one not agree that Rahm and Rauner have a relatively good relationship considering the circumstances?

In addition to them being friends for many years, Rahm has governed the city as a moderate who is willing to evaluate decisions on pragmatism rather than ideology. They've gotten along better than any Rahm alternative or predecessor would have in the circumstances.

[Mr. Illini]

Weren't we supposed to believe that Baker was this great moderate? I never bought it and this just proves it.

Atlas is seriously comically deranged on what it takes to be a moderate Republican.  You're f^cking crazy if you don't think Baker is a moderate, and doing something that a DEMOCRATIC governor next door did doesn't strip him of that label...

He's actually to the right on this issue of several Republican governors that we would not consider moderates

[Mr. Illini]

Maggie Hassan "jumped the crazy train," too.  But I doubt you'd phrase it that way, because she's a Democrat.

"Maggie Hassan jumped on the crazy train"

Happy?

[Mr. Illini]

"Maggie Hassan jumped on the crazy train"

Happy?

Since John Bel Edwards is standing for governor of Louisiana this week, and, supports a moratorium on Syrian refugees, it would be more appropriate to note that he "jumped on the crazy train." It is a lot easier to show the courage of your convictions when the election is months out rather than a handful of days.

Yep, "Edwards jumped on the crazy train." Now are you also happy?

Doesn't mean the other guy isn't crazier.

Any other conservatives want me to say someone is crazy?

[Mr. Illini]

Rahm, City Council to Rauner: F*** Off

So much for Green Line's claim that the crazy train is bipartisan in Illinois
