[Peace-discuss] Primary election day

[David Green]

My first speculative reaction to the close race between Rauner  & Ives is
that a lot of Ives supporters will probably sit it out in November; Rauner
has offended the Trump base. My non-empirical prediction is that Pritzker
will win handily as a result.
