#1 "he was accused of abusing his ex-wife and holding a knife to the throat of an ex-girlfriend"

So this was a secret until after he got the nomination?

Who ratted him? More importantly, since this sounds like actions the police would have been called for, why didn't the media investigate the candidates' backgrounds and find this out before the primary? In the tank for the Dems, I know. But what changed?

#2 ..and holding a knife to the throat of an ex-girlfriend.

I thought cut-throat politics was what it is all about in IL. You know the Chicago way. Girlfriend should have been packing heat, in a Colt way too.
