As Donald Trump prepares to announce his third campaign for the White House, Illinois GOP leaders spoke on 'Chicago Tonight' last night to discuss the future of the Republican Party and exchange a few words about the former President.

“I think there’s a Trump-effect hangover north of I-80 that probably had a lot of people that might have voted Republican who voted Democrat,” said Brady, who also pointed to money being misspent on consultants rather than helping candidates as an issue. “They have run good campaigns in the last two cycles and as Republicans we’ve got to figure out how we are going to work around them because they are pretty effective,” said Brady.
Republican state Sen. Jason Plummer agreed that the Republican Party in Illinois simply does not have the electoral infrastructure to compete effectively.
