Rauner's pandering benefits Quinn

Instead, he drives that ridiculous van. Everyone I’ve talked to today smirked at the idea.

People who have bills have cars with dents because we don’t want to spend the money to fix them when we have other, more important costs, like college tuitions. The dents in our cars aren’t part of our costume. We don’t like the look. We deal with it.


But what does playing Joe Schmo do for Rauner?

Not much. It annoys voters. They don’t like being talked down to. It seems dishonest, as if Rauner is playing a role.

And it’s handing Illinois back to Quinn.
