“Hey, it’s as easy as 1-2-3. First, amass a huge war chest. Second, never stray from general statements. Third, blame everything on Madigan. Almost forgot, go to Good Will and find an old watch.”

Little Brucie Rauner sat in a corner
Eating his Christmas pie
He put in his thump and pulled out a plum
And said “what a good boy am I”

When I do my fingers like this it will magically light up this fire pit, just like my magical plan to fire up Illinois’ growth.
Well darn, it didn’t work. Some magic just takes time. Just give me another term and I am sure it will work.

You see, first the Speaker wants you to jump through hoops…and then look what’s waiting for you once you do?
In some districts, the tree is even bigger. Others have thorn bushes.
