Some Advice for Illinois Republican gubernatorial Candidate Darren Bailey Here is a commentary on Illinois' Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey's campaign strategy, which attacks Chicagoans and, well, anyone, not white, Christian or Trump-embracing. I zero on on Bailey's "hell hole" comments to characterize Chicago and his comparison between the Holocaust and abortions. Additionally, I use the piece as a springboard to Republicans' national campaign's scorched-earth strategy .

What Would Seymour Do? In this essay I comment on the recent couple in the Minnesota Wal-Mart wearing swastika masks as well as the protestors earlier this year in Chicago who displayed symbols of hate. Seymour was my late Jewish stepfather who served courageously in WWII. In the piece I wonder what he would have done if he had beheld these events.
