  52. I wish it was my victory they were celebrating. Mmm, maybe I do a ‘House of Cards’ thing. I start by saying mean things about Senator Kirk until he steps aside. I count on Schock to self destruct, prod Bruce into a debilitating stalemate. They will beg me to take high office. A few more machinations and these people will be cheering for President Ron Godwitz.

    Comment by Quizzical Friday, Jul 31, 15 @ 2:46 pm

  53. Why? Because you need Rauner, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That’s why I did this, to save you from yourselves. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a State to run.
