Problem is the story misses the governorships that were picked up behind the blue wall and in Illinois. Republicans now hold 33 states. That creates a huge bench for republicans to choose a quality executive from. Also a very diverse group.

It also doesn't discuss the white vote steadily flocking to the GOP which can put Midwestern states in play.
Dems in the near future will need 2008 levels of minority turnout to make up for the loss of the white vote, and that's going to be hard to top with such an unreliable voting bloc
The article also fails to mention the gains among minority voters for the GOP I'm 2014. We won the Asian vote, the Hispanic vote went from 27 percent in 2012 to 37 in 2014, and we got over 60 percent of the white vote.
If those numbers stay the same or increase into 2016, Dems are in trouble

He covers that in the body of the article.

I'm still shocked that happened.
Just to be clear though, Rauner is a major businessman well embedded in the Cook County machine, much like Quinn was.
