So who are you going to vote for in the primary for Governor?

[vito]

I am not overly enthusiatic about any of the Republican candidates, but if I had to vote today it would be for Richard Irvin. What about you?

I don't know if he's a RINO... but his tough on crime boast is opportunistic?

 

“In my first year in office, Aurora homicides went down by 40%. While crime is exploding under anti-police politicians, I have suppressed crime in Aurora. Send me to Springfield and I’ll do the same thing across all Illinois.”

 

If Aurora murders decreased by 40% in his first year as Mayor, they increased by 200% in his second year. With such low numbers, neither claim is valid.

There's a difference between being a Republican of convenience and being a Republican.
Irvin is a democrat.

He maybe a RINO but he's the only one that has a chance in heck to beat JB because he's bbbbbbbbb......, anyone is better than JB (or how could they possibly be worse) 

Anyone that thinks some white guy is going to pull the necessary votes out of Chicago and Aurora needs to wake up and smell the real world illinois.

Exactly.

I'm quite sure he's a dem, but he's less of a dem than BJ.

Bailey.  Irvin talks a good game, but don't know enough about him and thought I've heard on here that he might be a bit of an anti 2A candidate.  

[Wideglide11]

Bailey !!!!!

[Rangerdeepv]

J. Sullivan

[Lou]

At this point it’s Bailey 

[mauserme]

I vote gun rights, and Senator Bailey has always stood with us on that.

 

In recent examples, before Mr. Irvin applauded the ISRA's FOID Modernization, private sale registration/ammo background checks mess becoming law, Senator Bailey voted against it.

 

When Irvin's running mate Representative Bourne voted for the Willis child indoctrination bill, Senator Bailey voted against it.

 

In my view, Bailey has been a reliable defender of our rights. He has my vote.

[Vern in IL]

Darren Bailey is as close to an "American First Republican" in the field....and is a farmer.  This is a farmer state.

 

Who else stood up to JB's unconstitutional emergency mask requirement?

Everyone who backstabbed Rauner's state shutdown showdown for the balls to stand up to the Madigan's is a RINO... and no we will not vote for a RINO, (Republican IN NAME ONLY)

[sctman800]

   Bailey is a long time and active member of Guns Save Life.  I am in the free state of Indiana now, but he would have my vote if I was still in Illinois.   Jim.

[jim123]

I'll vote for Bailey but Jelly Belly Pigster will get re-elected.

[Dumak_from_arfcom]

Bailey is the strongest pro-gun candidate.  Irvin won't get my vote because he supported fix the foid.  

[spanishjames]

I've seen so many ads for JB on YouTube, im ready to vote for him. 

NOT!

[mab22]

Bailey.

 

[top_notch]

If Bailey is the biggest supporter of 2A he'll get my vote.

[RECarry]

Bailey and Trussel.  The argument that Irwin has millions in campaign funding to "challenge" JB says just one thing - those two will burn through your tax dollars as wastefully as they print lies to voters.

Show me another candidate willing to pose with a gun.

Yes, it's not an AR.  But he uses his AR to blow up a copy of the budget with tannerite in a TikTok video.

It's time for us to have our usual election-time argument here -- about who could best represent our values versus who might actually have a chance to win.

 

For the best chance to get rid of Pritzger, I'd vote for Irvin. Even though he may be less than ideal in many ways, he has the best chance of even modestly disrupting the Democratic power hold in Illinois.

[Retiredguns]

Travesty that we have to consider the best route to ousting Porkster. Same crap the dems did to get rid of Trump. Bailey seems and acts like someone who cares. Irvin talks the talk and checks other boxes. I don't trust him. Sullivan is probably a great man, but the game is too dirty for Richie Cunningham.

It is a real shame that money has become such a big issue in politics   
JB bought the governors job with his billions of inherited dollars.

Irvin seems to have the best chance of beating him only because he is being backed by a guy that has even more billions of dollars than Pritzker. 

[vito]

Accepting reality is necessary if any progress is ever to be made. In a state where a Pritzker and a Duckworth can be elected, electability is critical and I agree that Irvin as a Black man with money behind him is the best bet to beat the fat boy.
