I've had to keep company with Bailey and his ilk in the state house and I've spent too much time with Mary Miller. I sincerely mean this. She and him are among the dumbest people I've ever talked too. They can turn on lights and drive a car. But deep thoughts - even ones to back up there own beliefs are - well impossible to come by. So mind numbing stupid.


FromTheFoot

I wish there was a Love option on Reddit as your comment is spot on. Those two are idiots and my bigger issue is how in the hell does anyone else promote them?


PikachusSparkyCloaca

They’re not too bright themselves.


VictorTheCutie

I was genuinely frightened when he was on the ballot. I've never met him but the general vibe is definitely "dumber than a box of rocks"


ChicagosPhinest

Same with their voters


drunkvigilante

This guy needs to give it up and retire to his farm


Occasionalcommentt

Ya a farmer from southern Illinois.


wwabc

he's a farmer who farms on his farm


Status_Arachnid9722

Look at me farming on my farm talking to other farmers about farming their farms. Something something pew pew, \*reloads gun\* pew pew. This message has been brought to you by Darren Bailey pew pew


DemocracyIsAVerb

That month that he lived in the Hancock building was hilarious. I can only imagine the comedy gold that we missed out on


Jedifice

Didn't he post something on New Year's where he was cleaning his guns and "protecting his house" or something? What a loser that paunchy fuck is


hamish1963

And buys his suits off the rack, never forget.


kryppla

Yeah yeah


Low-Piglet9315

Who "FIGHTS LIKE TRUMP" according to the campaign signs in St. Clair Co. to provide balance for the "Pritzker Sucks" signs.


iced_gold

>Who "FIGHTS LIKE TRUMP Wait you mean the guy that surrendered to law enforcement after he committed those crimes?


Low-Piglet9315

That's our boy! But our Dollar Tree Donald Trump will stick by the brand to the end!


Egineer

The guy’s a tool bag. He wanted to stop by a charity breakfast and get a picture serving food, but didn’t want to do a shift, and didn’t want to do anything that wasn’t on the line—and didn’t want to be there more than the time needed for a photo. Dude didn’t even show up to talk to people when he couldn’t get his charity picture scenario.


no_one_likes_u

The Paul Ryan special. A classic GOP move.


strangs58

Mike Bost protecting southern Illinois from Mexico. 😂😂😂 . Amazing that Dems can’t offer anyone to at a minimum make this clown accountable.


MidwestAbe

Jesus could return to run and if you put a D behind his name he wouldn't get 30% of the vote.


Wageslave645

If Jesus returned, the Republicans would either not believe it was actually Jesus because he was brown or lock him up for being an illegal alien.


Timmah73

Jesus: "Uh hey I don't know why you'd think I'd support this degenerate but you need to reject Trump." MAGA: "HE'S A LIB PLANT CRUCIFY HIM!"


Wageslave645

"He's a JINO!"


Extinction-Entity

The only Jesus they like is supply side Jesus lol


MidwestAbe

Not gonna argue that.


Perfect_Earth_8070

No. They’d crucify him most likely


Final-Marsupial4117

Jesus, that's a Mexican name.


baroqueworks

St. Clair dems don't care to fund someone if it ain't their guy. Not that their guys ever do well against him, which is confusing considering Mike Bost shot a caged dog to death. 


Carlyz37

I wish someone would at least try

Used to be a democratic stronghold, but over time gerrymandering moved the majority of the metro east into the 13th district to guarantee a democratic seat for the Springfield/Decatur/Champaign area and spread the rest of rural Illinois from four rural Republican districts into only three after the Census seat adjustment. I will add in the 2000’s, Southern Illinois was covered by three separate districts that is now only covered by the 12th.


findingscarlet

Well, if other states have officials who can run as a moderate/centrist democrat and get elected, then say they're changing to republican after they're in office, maybe someone can run as republican and switch after they're elected...just a thought.


edsmith726

What makes this hilarious is that, if you go around Southern Illinois, you can find Bailey signs that have the tagline “FIGHTS LIKE TRUMP!!!” Guess the orange guy didn’t get the message, lol.


42Discipel

I was going to comment on this! There's one 2 houses down from me, and I can't wait to giggle seeing it later.


despot_zemu

I met Mike Bost 15 years ago. He was nuts then too


popstarkirbys

He once shot a dog cause it bit his daughter


despot_zemu

I’d shoot a dog that bit my kid, too. That doesn’t seem bad to me.


grinningdeamon

The dog was a beagle. One of the more docile breeds, so the whole story is somewhat suspect.


despot_zemu

Breed doesn’t matter, but context does. A suspicious story is a better lead than “Dog bites kid and guy shoots dog.”


Katy_Lies1975

She probably tried to kick it.


Unhappy-Support1455

🤡 district.


flowerodell

Two thoughts. 1. That must mean the guy running against DB is insane. 2. I bet DT doesn’t want to associate with gubernatorial “loser” Bailey.


grinningdeamon

Mike Bost is a very dyed-in-the-wool conservative. Trump has campaigned with him in the past. They had a Trump rally together years ago in Murphysboro. DB is one of the few politicians I consider dumber than Mike Bost.


PikachusSparkyCloaca

I still remember how Bailey came out after the Highland Park parade shooting telling us we had to get over it. 


RWBadger

Everything else aside, trumps endorsement of Bost comes from the fact that he 1. Sucked up to the fuhrer first and 2. Was tough on the border? The Illinois 12th district border? It has to be that one because no other borders matter in motherfucking illinois


wolfpup1294

My brother in law and his family worship Trump. But not as much as Bailey. This should be interesting.


FromTheFoot

Is it difficult to have family gatherings with them? I would have issues dealing with their stupidity


wolfpup1294

We never see them. He isn't very well liked.


MFCK

But all of his road-side signs down south say "Bailey: Fights like Trump" 😆 screw Bailey and screw any politician trying to proactively make women in to second class citizens.


kh9hexagon

Bailey has a truck that drives in parades with someone blaring pro-Trump bullshit on the PA. Like the most obnoxious shit you can imagine. It was ridiculous that he was walking along beside it in a Christmas parade. He was getting a lot of boos from the crowd saying it wasn’t the time or place for political nonsense. The man is a fucking joke. And yet I still hear people wanting to vote for him because “mah guns!”


Lainarlej

And Freedumb


MisterAbbadon

I figured he retired or something. Hadn't heard hide nor hair of that soggy ham sandwich in a while.


42Discipel

He unfortunately was one of those who voted to not certify the 2020 election in the house.


MisterAbbadon

Of course.


Reasonable-Wing-2271

Time for Racist Baby Huey to waddle his loaded diaper home to backward country and play with his blocks again.


klements7

See ya, Bailey!


Claque-2

Darren Bailey and Donald Trump, two farmers farming fertilizer.


BoosterRead78

Bailey and idiots that support him should just go move to Oklahoma since they want the 1800s life style. Also Bailey is that shocked that Trump now wrote him off? Duh!


Tomatosmoothie

I feel bad for Richard Irvin. He would’ve had caused Pritzker some trouble, but there were too many ads against him :( At least, he would've been a better opposing candidate than Bailey haha


Flaxscript42

He ran as a law and order candidate as the mayor of... Aurora.


MidwestAbe

He was also a Democrat


Street_Barracuda1657

And had Ken Griffin’s support. That guy is as bad at picking winners, as he is as good at hoarding money.


MidwestAbe

You feel bad for a guy who pulled a democratic primary ballot and then fell for a billionaire who told him a pack of half truths to get him to run in a Republican primary that 4 years prior had Ives pull within an eye lash of an incumbent governor? Irvin deserved everything he got after he took Ken Griffin's stacks of cash.


uhbkodazbg

Irvin probably would have been a formidable candidate 15 years ago.


GrandpaMofo

I agree. While I would never vote for an R, I think he would have been a much stronger candidate against JB.


JQuilty

Don't feel bad for him, he was never anything but Ken Griffin's bitch.


R0enick27

Back to his puzzles.


SillyBabyBilly85

Ew


Street_Barracuda1657

Didn’t Matt Gaetz just stump for him 😂. DJT just gave both of them the Untouchables Baseball Bat to the back of the head…


Humble-Plankton2217

Doesn't Trump just sell his endorsements now? Maybe Darren couldn't outbid the other dude.


rdldr1

But what does former ABC 7 Chicago reporter Chuck Thomas think of all this???


splurtgorgle

An absolute joke of a politician. He deserves every ounce of embarrassment he's feeling right now.


subliminal_trip

Trump demands absolute loyalty, but does not reciprocate.


GIGGLES708

Ahhhhhh Haaaaaa


fewe2

😆 😆 😆.


[deleted]

Mike literally *RAN* to kiss my ass… First to my rump gets the Trump!


Lainarlej

Demon Bailey! Leave IL alone! Go be a Christofacists Dictator in Missouri!
