* Mark Kirk on himself, the governor and Donald Trump…
Noting the two oppose Trump, Kirk, who was in a wheelchair, said, “I think the governor and I both suffer, forgive the humor here, from a form of PTSD: Post-Trump trauma disorder.”
* Heh…
Just stumbled Chris Farley style through the railing on my steps. I landed in my hydrangea and broke my labor union yard sign.

For that brief moment I became the living embodiment of the Bruce Rauner turnaround agenda.

* From the ILGOP…
Hi Rich,
A little fun for your Friday… Spotted in Kankakee. An upstanding citizen took it upon themselves to have this yard sign made. Thought you’d enjoy.
The sign…
* Um…
Is Chicago’s usually private first lady Amy Rule making an unprecedented sortie into the Illinois comptroller’s race?
Er, no — though Chicago City Clerk Susana Mendoza seemed to suggest so Friday morning.
“Join me and Chicago’s First Lady on 8/22 for an evening on the river,” tweeted Mendoza, who is challenging incumbent Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger in November.
Turns out that, in this case, “Chicago’s First Lady” refers not to Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s wife but to the name of the boat that Mendoza’s campaign fundraiser will be held on.

Dear Mendoza Crew.
Stop. Tweeting.
Seriously. No joke. Turn off “the Twitter”

At least the boat for Mendoza’s campaign isn’t called “Tiny Dancer,” or . . .

So, Kirk says Rauner opposes Trump. Can we get a comment from the Rauner camp on that? Haven’t heard that before.

Mark Kirk is trying to do the Governor a solid… That’s pretty cool, no snark…
… but unless Bruce Rauner publicly rebukes Trump…
Bruce Rauner supports Donald Trump

I think if I go Full Candy Crush Cloonen…
I have “candies” where the ridiculous stars are… and nog have Candy Crush in cursive.
The cursive is weak. The stars as candies would be delicious.
But… that’s what I would’ve done if I went Full Candy Crush.

I hope that come the day after election day, I will be suffering from PKSD as in Post Kirk Stressless Disorder.

Re-reading it in the context of the article itself, it appears Sen. Kirk was referring to Gov. Kasich, rather than Gov. Rauner. My apologies. Presume Gov. Rauner still supporting “the nominee.”

Kirk is referring to Kasich, not Rauner.

- Wensicia -
Yep. I was wrong, but it’s still true that Rauner supports Trump.
My bad.

At least the name of the boat isn’t “Donald Trump”

OW - You’re right about Rauner. Is this why Kirk is campaigning with Kasich rather than Illinois’ governor?

===…Kirk is campaigning with Kasich rather than Illinois’ governor?===
I’m guessing Kasich is a big draw due to his high national profile and the opportunity to see him.
Kirk can have a funder, (or just get checks, less the overhead) with or by the Governor anytime.
