CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform has always been conservative. But anti-conservatives and conservative-haters have dominated the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) since at least Big Jim Thompson. Of course, they blame the conservative IRP platform for the November 8, 2022 losses that Republican candidates suffered in Illinois. While they say that the IRP has “no platform,” they want young anti-conservatives and conservative-haters to craft a new IRP platform that will water down, if not strike, the conservative planks in the platform. I served on the 2008 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. The IRP platform has changed little since then. Of course, I want to serve on any committee that crafts a new platform. Because Ron Smith appointed me to the 2008 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee, because I promoted conservative planks, and because I promoted direct election of IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members at that convention, anti-conservatives and conservative-haters threw him off the IRP SCC. Of course, my requests to be appointed to the 2012, 2016, and 2020 IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committees were denied.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Second, rebuild the Illinois Republican Party by coming up with a coherent platform about how to “Make Illinois Great Again.” . . . This will need to be crafted by younger Republicans. I could see moderate former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar leading a task force, joined by co-chairs such as conservative downstate U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood and pragmatic suburban state Sen. Sue Rezin.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— COMMENT: Illinois Democrats say “After big losses last week, Illinois GOP vows big changes with new legislative leaders: ‘We certainly have a lot to rebuild’
House Republicans chose state Rep. Tony McCombie as their leader. The former Savanna mayor told the Sun-Times last week that the election showed “those that are on the extreme” are “not what Illinois wants.” Senate Republicans selected state Sen. John Curran of Downers Grove to guide their caucus.” The more planks in the Republican Party platform that you support, the more extreme that anti-conservatives and conservative-haters call you.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Like it or not, the Illinois GOP is now grappling with Candidate Trump.”
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/juice/donald-trump-presidential-campaign-not-welcomed-illinois-gop-juice-greg-hinz
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One leader who’s departed the Trump orbit is former Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, a member of the state’s GOP central committee and a major Trump backer against Joe Biden four years ago. “I certainly believe in some of the things he did as president, but I don’t particularly like what he’s said afterwards . . . or what happened last Tuesday,” when Trump-backed candidates such as Pennsylvania Senate hopeful Dr. Mehmet Oz or Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake got beat, Claar told me in a phone interview. “His endorsement certainly got in the way” of GOP victories. Added Claar, “I’m a big fan of DeSantis.” Jeanne Ives, a strong social and economic conservative who almost unseated then-Gov. Bruce Rauner in the 2018 GOP primary, welcomed the idea of a competitive GOP presidential primary. “I think it’s a great idea for Republicans across the country to have a debate over where the party should go,” she said. But, Ives continued, Trump overall is “a mixed bag.” Asked if his running would help the party, she replied: “Not in Illinois.” Other officials more to the GOP center were harsher in their comments. “Trump lost the last two elections in this state by (roughly) a million votes each,” said former state GOP Chair Pat Brady. “If people don’t wake up and see that Trump is slowly killing the party, they didn’t watch what happened on Tuesday.” “There should be a quick repudiation of Trump by every Republican leader in the country,” said outgoing Illinois House GOP Leader Jim Durkin. “He’s a narcissist on steroids.” State GOP Chairman Don Tracy, who rarely courts internal Republican dissent, insisted in a statement that he’s neutral for now, but seemed to welcome DeSantis or others to the race. “President Trump’s policies led to a booming economy and respect abroad. We appreciate his service to the country,” Tracy said. “The field will undoubtedly evolve over the coming months and we look forward to an open, engaging, and respectful competition.” But the most interesting comment may have come from outgoing DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, the former head of the county’s Republican organization. What might be best for the party is for Trump to run—and lose to another Republican, Cronin said. “That may be exactly what the doctor ordered. We as a party have to somehow get past Trump.” State Sen. Darren Bailey, whom Trump endorsed for governor in last week’s election, failed to return messages. Along with downstate GOP firebrand U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, Bailey is considered a potential leader of any Trump Illinois campaign.)

— COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The Republican Party exists to defend and advance conservatism. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Ever-increasingly, anti-conservatives and conservative-haters use the Republican Party’s “BIG TENT” policy to destroy conservativism, to destroy conservatives, and to destroy the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO). I should write a book about how the aforesaid has played out in the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO since 2000.

MORNING STAR
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Mitt Romney calls Trump an aging pitcher who keeps losing games.” What do your critics/opponents blame you for? My critics/opponents stress my age (74) and my being conservative. Since 2021, because of Republican losses, they have stopped me from serving as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks. Since 2012, because of Republican losses, they have stopped me from serving as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman. Since 2010, because of Republican losses, they have stopped me from serving as a Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster. Since 2007, because of Republican losses, they have stopped me from serving as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member.

NEW YORKER
— COMMENT: Democrats say “How Math Became an Object of the Culture Wars. As was true in the nineties, today’s fights about math are not entirely about what kids actually learn in their classrooms.” High-level math was never one of my strong points. Democrats would have me blame that on the following: a) my parents who never attended college, b) my mother who never attended high school, c) my math teachers at Trinity Lutheran Grade School in Crete 1953-1961, d) my math teachers at Hope Lutheran Grade School in Park Forest 1961-1962, and e) my math teachers at Crete-Monee High School 1962-1966. Never-the-less, I was able to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997 when I was 48 years old. Many of the courses required high-level math.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Hey Donald, if they don’t like you, form a new party.” Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, Independents and Independent plants, and RINOs a) crow about their success in making the Republican Party anti-conservative and b) want conservatives to leave the Republican Party and form a new party. In your precinct, in your municipality, in your township, in your county, in Illinois, and in America, how many would vote for Republicans if the RNC, Illinois Republican Party, your Republican county party organization, and/or your Republican township/ward party organization officially dumped conservatism and officially dumped conservatives?
