Rauner should dump phony 'Bruce Sixpack' duct tape shtick

By day Governor Rauner relentlessly degrades Illinois' education, social welfare, infrastructure, and state supplier networks with refusal to do Job One as governor: provide a budget. By night he barrages us with insulting commercials that appear aimed at clueless ten year olds. Foregoing his thousand dollar suits, Rauner dons earthy flannel shirts of a 'gee whiz' good ol' boy. Then he uses the infantile prop of duct tape on the camera as a metaphor for his specious claim he's in charge to remove the temporary solutions of the 'politicians' who have ruined Illinois. But Bruce Sixpack conveniently omits that by every measure he's ripped apart the sensible start his predecessor made to improve education, improve social welfare, improve infrastructure, improve state vendor networks and begin paying pension obligations again.

Rauner wore out his phony down home outsider shtick before his 2014 election but not before conning a gullible electorate to give him a narrow victory. Now entrenched in an unprecedented campaign to diminish Illinois as an educational and investment state to extract his anti worker, pro rich man's agenda, he's stuck with the flannel shirts and duct tape to mask the utter failure of his administration. Rauner still hasn't recognized even a billion dollars worth of flannel shirts and duct tape can't save his exit from office next year.
