Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Failed Presidential Candidates Try to Rescue “Underdog” Bruce Rauner
As political observers declare Governor Bruce Rauner the “underdog” in the race for Illinois governor, two presidential has-beens are desperately swooping in an attempt to rescue his flailing campaign.
Yesterday, both Scott Walker and Jeb Bush expressed their support for the failed governor; ‘Winless Walker’, who just lost another high profile race in Wisconsin, made news for an upcoming fundraising trip to Illinois and Bush defended Rauner’s disastrous record. Together, the failed presidential aspirants are an underwhelming one-two punch for a candidate who has been dubbed an “underdog,” the “most vulnerable incumbent,” and “The Worst Republican Governor in America.”
“Underdog candidate Bruce Rauner’s desperate campaign is scraping the bottom of the barrel in the surrogate department with two failed presidential candidates,” said DGA Illinois Communications Director Sam Salustro. “Jeb! and Scott Walker may be asking Ives’ Republicans to ‘please clap’ for Rauner’s failure, but it’s clear they’re not interested.”
