14. If I live to 100 I'll never understand how Quinn just stood there and took those insults.

In the last debate Rauner called Quinn a "failure" over and over and in a very insulting "in your face" manner. Almost bordering on disgust.
It was painful to listen to and I'll never understand why Quinn just stood there at the podium and took it.

It seemed the more stoic he was the more personal abuse ole Rauner poured on. I had once heard that Quinn had a well known volatile temper so was Rauner trying to get him off message and into a red faced tirade before the tv cameras so he could run and make even more tv commercials?

It was totally bizarre. Quinn feebly tried to defend his record but he seemed defeated. It was like watching someone being beaten up by the school bully and totally unable to defend himself.
