Yeah, those damn Republicans.

That's your myopic perspective. The myopic perspective of most Chicagoans is that downstate is anything outside of the 6 Illinois counties in metro Chicago so Rockford and Carbondale are both downstate.houndawg wrote:So is Hillary, possibly to an even greater degree. If you look at the county by county map of the Democratic primary, Hillary lost a large majority of the counties outside the Chicago area and would have lost the State without the Machine's thumb on the scale.UNI88 wrote:
Trump is definitely a polarizing candidate who will bring out many Democrats and Independents to vote against him. But IMO many of the remaining blue dog type Democrats and Independents will support him. Trump's appeal to the more conservative rural Democrat has been underestimated. This is especially true if Hillary is the Dem candidate. Trump will do much better in Houndawg's backyard of downstate Illinois and similar locations than recent Rep candidates.
John, I share your distaste and distrust of Trump but I don't understand how you could support Cruz instead. That guy is even more wackadoodle than Trump.
And "downstate Illinois" is I-64 and north to Chicago. My backyard is Little Egypt.

The extent he went to drive people out of their homes, including an old lady with cancer, is insane. It's actually terrifyingly insane. Describing him as a slumlord is putting it mildly.
Trip is getting to dback levels of stupidity and ignorance.

Those people had unbelievably great deals...and they did everything they could to keep them. Most Democrats would demand that those people pay more rent for their luxurious apartments...but if Trump is involved, the story gets changed.
Their lawsuits failed...meaning the law didn't agree with them. The poor, old, helpless cancer lady? Even her neighbors asked her to relent.
And bad, uncaring Trump?
"Trump put out newspaper advertisements in 1982 and 1983 offering to shelter homeless people in the apartment building. The move was seen by tenants as a ruthless attempt to drive them out.
Trump denied that, telling The New York Times: "Some people think I'm just doing a number on the people in the building. That's not true. I just want to help with the homeless problem. It'll take two or three years to get everybody out, and in the meantime I'll have more and more vacant apartments for the indigent."
He even offered to pay for nurses and medical supplies to treat the homeless."
Trump helps the homeless, and offers to pay for medical expenses, and yet Democratic InfinityMan takes the side of the wealthy elite who don't want to have to suffer walking past, and seeing, the downtrodden masses.
JFC...what a tool for the Democrats.

True. Despite Northwestern and the University of Illinois' claims, the University of Iowa might really be Chicago's Big 10 school.houndawg wrote:So is all of Iowa.UNI88 wrote:
