Dick Durbin has endorsed Paul Vallas

[Cadfael]

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.

[blm]

1. Shameful.

[PortTack]

2. That is very shameful! What are you thinking mr. Durbin??

[nevergiveup]

3. Please say it ain't so.

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

4. i was really disappointed Jessie White endorsed vallas, too

[Cadfael]

6. Me too

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

7. i get the sense vallas will be another Mayor daley

[Cadfael]

10. J or M?

[RandySF]

5. WHY, Dick?

[live love laugh]

8. Shocking. He could've remained neutral. Telling.

9. What the hell Senator Durbin?

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.

11. My my trump voting cousin is all Vallas.

She's a DeSantis fan, too.

[ShazzieB]

12. WHAT?

Wtaf, Dick? UGH.

[orleans]

13. i just heard an ad for vallas

(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.
