Because red state legislature.

basically, Tom Corbett was the Bruce Rauner of 2014

Who is this^

Oh.

Alright, lemme say something about the ratios

I think we all agree that Bruce Rauner is doomed, not that we really care

You're trying to beat Tom Wolf?

now, as I said, it's not guaranteed

In the primaries, there were 2.2 Democratic votes for each Republican vote

In the general, that was 1.2

easy win still.

Lol

1.2

there's nothing magical about politics. Rauner can win. Democrats can win Mississippi. Will they? Probably not

Illinois has always had shitty governors, I know that many governors got sent to prison for Shit they did.

Illinois is just a shitty state now

yeah, pretty easy win

@FLanon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_gubernatorial_election,_2010

see if that ratio holds for 2010

Chicago runs it into the ground.

but it shows they have a major foothold in the primaries

>red Pittsburg

My dad is forced to work as an accountant for the state

lol yeah right

Youi need a Trump type of guy to get that.

And the GOP won't pick someone like that.

They're going to run

Saccone!

xD

Didn’t Rauner become Governor because the last Governor got in prison for some shit he did?

interestingly enough, in 2010, there were 857,142 votes in the GOP primary for the Governor race

in 2014, it dropped to 373,465

now that's because

1. There was also a Senate race in 2010 in PA

2. Tom Corbett apparently disappointed many PA Republicans after he got elected

In the primaries 2010, the ratio is 1.2 Dem votes for each R vote

@Rhodesiaboo I don't know.

In the general, that became 0.84

(R win)

@Rhodesiaboo Well also because 2010 was the year of the republican

wait

So, if we manage to make it slim, that's a good indicator

I pinged the wrong person

@FLanon yeah, the thing is, 2014 in PA was a mediocre time for the Republicans

now, they did well in other parts of the country, but it just goes to show what kind of an effect a shitty incumbent will have

If it's 2:1, it's a bad sign

@zakattack04 both 2010 and 2014 were GOP dominated years
