The election had results nationally and in Killinois that were in some ways entirely predictable. Both nationally and locally, Republican chances were hurt by Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner being self-absorbed, and not caring about the consequences of their behavior.
America's Hill of Offense is its thriving abortion industry. That industry was aided by Illinois' King Solomon, Bruce Rauner, through the signing of House Bill 40, which created taxpayer-funded abortion in Illinois. Governor Rauner has been a corrupting influence on the Illinois Republican Party since the day he was elected. Many representatives and state senators have been forced to make Faustian bargains to stay in Rauner's good graces. Rauner's personal wealth has made up for the decreased contributions by the bewildered and betrayed Republican voters.
Once the base of the Republican party was abandoned by Sci-Fi Bruce Rauner, J.B. Pritzker made short work of him, and the effect was felt throughout the Republican party in Illinois. Similarly, the self-absorbed Orange Blatherskite hurt Republican candidates, while making this election all about him. In Paul O'Keefe's biography of Wyndham Lewis (Some Sort of Genius) , Wyndham Lewis is quoted as telling Dick Wyndham, "People are only friends in so much that they are of use to you." Insolently thinking of himself as the personification of the Republican Party (an illusion reinforced daily on Fox News), Trump gloated about the defeat of great candidates like Mia Love from Utah, saying that the lack of adulation from them somehow made them undeserving of victory. Illinois congressman Peter Roskam also suffered from the toxic overflow of Trumpian egotism. Orange Blatherskite is a user in the same vein as Wyndham Lewis. People are tools for Trump.
With Trump's lack of loyalty and chronic self-centeredness, it only makes sense that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was let go in favor of a malleable cipher who will do only Trump's bidding. This obvious attempt to kill the Mueller Investigation will probably not meet with Senate approval. And Republicans need to get used to saying "Speaker Pelosi" again. So much winning!
