Dick Durbin has endorsed Paul Vallas

And I’m disappointed in him for doing so. It’s not like he’s lost my vote for ever for this misstep, but he’s gonna get one hot email from me.

Paul Vallas has shown tendencies toward being a closeted Trumper. I don't get it.

The Blackhawks games seem to be wall-to-wall Vallas ads and I was heartbroken to see Jesse White endorsing him.

I'm an active democrat in Southern Illinois, but none of my Democratic Party friends & acquaintances have ever shared a good story or warm memory about Mr. Vallas.

I don't know him, but the folks who do never bring him up around me.

Do with that as you will.

(radio i think)

i wasn't really paying attention and then i thought i heard durbin's voice -- and thought WHAT?? WHY??

googled and yep.

ugh!

i'm in a western burb so neither candidate will be my mayor but i admit i'm disappointed that he's backing vallas (but not surprised). he should've stayed out of it like it seems pritzker did.
