“No.”

Lance, (Narrating): You know, we always called each other Raunerites. Like you said to, uh, somebody, “You’re gonna like this guy. He’s all right. He’s a Raunerite. He’s one of us.” You understand? We were Raunerites. Hard Core Raunerites. But Goldberg and I could never be outsider Raunerites because we we’re already in on the gag. It didn’t even matter that my tweets to Rep. Lang were epic. To become a member of the outsider Raunerite crew you’ve got to be one hundred per cent fooled… so Bruce can trace your conversion back to the ole campaign. See, it’s the highest honor Bruce can give you. It means you belong to a phoniness and that crew. It means that nobody can mess around with your talking points. It also means you could mess around with anybody else’s facts just as long as they aren’t easily refutable on the spot. It’s like a license to be disingenuous. It’s a license to say anything…

Security guy behind Rauner ready for the slightest provocation thinks “Feel lucky punk, well do ya?” while backup rushes around the corner pulling his shades out so he can look cool,too.

BVR to himself: Is SEIU in charge of mowing the lawn around here or something?

Hi, I am the guy spending $16 million to get out votes for Republicans in November, but not a single ballot for fellow bizbrain Donald J. Trump. Not one itsy bitsy vote.
Right. E’ville a good place to try this stunt.

You put your left hand in. You take your left hand out. You put your left hand in. And you shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey. And you turn the State around… That’s what it’s all about!

Seems a bit rude, I guess. I mean those two people actually took time out from their meal to listen to the Governor, the least he could do is face them while talking over them.

I don’t think this is what the social service agencies had in mind when they asked for a “helping hand”.
