— Those who are pro-life feel betrayed by Rauner after signing of abortion bill – Mike Flannery (DIERSEN: From what I see, any candidate who runs against Rauner or against any Rauner-backed candidate in the Republican primary next year will be called a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The governor has no path to victory. Bruce Rauner is done. He cannot win,” said State. Rep. Peter Breen. He’s the Republican floor leader in the Illinois House and he’s now leading a revolt of social conservatives against the party’s governor. It’s political fallout from Bruce Rauner’s surprise decision to sign into law an abortion rights bill he previously promised to veto. But the governor’s Republican critics are now offering other reasons to reject him. Lombard’s State Rep. Peter Breen claims that only after Gov. Rauner was excluded from the face-to-face bargaining did other Republicans finally achieve the most basic agreements with democrats in the state capitol. “When you look at everything from the budget negotiations and a range of other issues, he is at the point now where he can no longer be in the room where they are negotiating agreements with the general assembly,” Breen said. An outspoken pro-life Republican, Breen insists his unhappiness with Gov. Rauner’s leadership goes far beyond the abortion issue. Some party activists were stunned by Rauner’s decision to sign the so-called “Trust Act.” They complain it made Illinois a sanctuary state by prohibiting local law enforcement from working in some cases with U.S. immigration and customs agents. Others are offended by Rauner’s public posture on President Trump. “He won’t say President Trump’s name. Won’t even acknowledge his existence,” said State Rep. David McSweeney. A former state party chairman, though, says Rauner’s unorthodox approach has worked for other Republicans in heavily Democratic Illinois. “We see what model actually works in this state with Jim Edgar, who was three terms who was pro-choice. Judy Baar Topinka, Mark Kirk. I know a lot of the people on the right get angry with that. But we’ve gotta be realistic about the state we live in,” Pat Brady said. Those leading this Republican revolt against Gov. Rauner know they face a tight timetable and time is not on their side. They need to find a candidate for governor, a running mate for Lt. Governor and collect thousands of signatures by Dec. 4th. Not to mention raising the several million dollars needed to run a credible campaign. Although Gov. Rauner has not yet announced whether he will seek re-election, allies are collecting signatures on his nominating petitions.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner’s left turns on abortion, immigration put his political base in doubt – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: From what I see, any candidate who runs against Rauner or against any Rauner-backed candidate in the Republican primary next year will be called a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-abortion-bill-fallout-met-1001-20170930-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rauner used his money and power to rebuild the Illinois Republican Party and ensure loyalty to him. Still, it’s unclear now whether Rauner’s wealth will be able to keep rank-and-file Republicans in line. Writing “big campaign checks,” Breen contended, is “the only unique feature left in Rauner’s favor” and something that may make others reluctant to criticize the governor. That means “we’re going to have to find alternate sources of funding,” he said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many of us dream of having enough money to shrug off the workaday chains and embrace freedom. (Or so we’re told.) Wanczyk, the Repsels, and other lottery winners face similar choices: Splurge or invest? Keep working or quit? We imagine many readers just took a nanosecond to make their choice. They may be shocked to learn what researchers have found: Most American winners have kept working after winning the lottery. Some started their own businesses, or scaled back to part time. Most often they haven’t changed employers. From the Department of Timeless Quotations: “Certainly, money is important, but there are a lot of other aspects to work that play a big role: relationships, achievement needs that people have, status needs outside of money,” Bowling Green State University psychology professor Scott Highhouse told The Christian Science Monitor back in 2004.)

https://www.wbez.org/shows/wbez-updates/illinois-republicans-split-over-abandoning-rauner-after-abortion-bill/e6e2ffb5-5397-4029-91d9-7a8b5237550b
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republicans are split as to whether they should abandon Governor Bruce Rauner after he signed bill into law on Thursday that expands Medicaid to cover abortions. GOP State Senator Dan McConchie says Rauner’s signature underscores grave concerns Republicans have with him as their party’s nominee in next year’s election. He says a Republican primary challenger is very likely. But Rauner heavily funds the Illinois Republican Party — and the chairman of the state party says there’s no daylight between Rauner and the party.)

http://www.wirepoints.com/this-face-will-appear-prominently-in-the-books-about-rauners-and-perhaps-illinois-last-gasp/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just a short and simple prediction, offered for now without the factual backup that exists: The overbearing role of Diana Rauner, a liberal Democrat, in her husband’s administration will come to be recognized as a primary reason for his failure. And since Bruce Rauner was perhaps Illinois’ last hope, she’ll have a place in the history books.)
