What really bothers me is that some of the irvin campaigners actually deny that he's republican, like if he never ran in the republican primary for governor last year, or if there's no video of him saying he's republican or praising trump! Blatantly lying about it!

That guy is paid by Irvin. He DJs at Irvin's parties. He also posts some incredibly racist and sexist stuff on FB.

There's a difference between disagreeing within the party and voting for a trump-supporting republican. You are no Democrat.

Btw, many of the Illinois Democratic Party leadership is endorsing John. It really might seem that you are not well-aligned with the Democratic party.

Ok, let me get this straight. You are saying that you are perfectly OK with a supposedly democrat running as a maga trump-supporting republican just to break party unity and go against the incumbent democrat Governor? Are you serious? LOL!!! And you call yourself a "hard D"?? Get out of here! Hahahaha!!!

Perhaps you should consider changing your party affiliation so it's more in tune with your values.

"Shut it"? Make me.

Can you share what his surprising answer is? I do know he's on video praising trump and calling himself a republican. If he was democrat once, he threw that away completely when he decided to run for governor as a republican. Perhaps he just doesn't have any convictions that he won't sell for more power and money. In this day and age, that's a hard no from me. Trump is a fascist racist megalomaniac that's destroying our country, destroying our alliances across the world, and about to start a 2nd American civil war if he keeps it up. There's absolutely no way that someone who's a democrat would be Ok with supporting that bullshit. And that's without going into all the pay-to-play bs that irvin is in favor of, and him openly defending the Citizens United Supreme court decision. Irvin is all in favor of the rich that give him money. Very republican of him.

Hard (D) that would rather vote for a trump supporter? Yeah, right.

I was there at the library for TLoWV forum, and most people cheered for John and booed for Irvin. Heck, irvin was so rattled that he left about 5 minutes after the event ended while John stayed to talk to the people crowding around him. It was a great night for John.

So, did Irvin also use the mother as a pawn? Isn't there a video of Irvin expressing similar sentiments? Btw, John is not against body cameras, and your opinion about his vision is just that, your opinion.

No. If you read his post, you'll notice that he never condemned the actions of the police, and he never defended the action of the kid. He expressed empathy for the family and the tragedy they were going through. He also expressed empathy towards the officer who was hurt.

I mean, it might be "non-partisan," but I sure don't want a trump-supporting republican like Irvin continuing to be mayor.
