I’d rather listen to another 1,000 Kars for Kids radio jingles than see another picture of Bruce and Diana.

Tommy, I am right with you. And Real Captain, I thought it was Moses too.

Not sure who he is dressed up as, but it’s more believable than his Biker costume.

1.4% - I’ve been wavin’ my wand for the last 4 years, tryin’ to make my personal turn around agenda appear. I’ll have to take it back to Ollivanders for repair. Maybe try to get that 2014 magic back.

Bruce sporting his final costume
Comment by beach panda Wednesday, Oct 31, 18 @ 2:17 pm
One half bucket of misplaced holy water and those two would melt into the sidewalk.
Rauner teases that if re-elected not only will he step up his costume purchases, but wife Diane will join in the hilarity of what are Bruce’s most relaxed and happiest years as an unregistered tax free munibond salesman to the wealthy.

Considering that costumes and pretending to be someone he isn’t was the priority of his administration, is it any wonder the Guv and Di do Halloween so well.

I like the biker costume much more than this costume. With Big Brain Bruce he has so many costumes it’s hard to pick a favorite. I like the Carhart costume line as well……this is just so ordinary.
Comment by Old and In The Way Wednesday, Oct 31, 18 @ 2:28 pm
I thought he was wearing his halloween costume last Saturday at the Trump rally.
Comment by G'Kar Wednesday, Oct 31, 18 @ 2:29 pm
Honestly this picture can go so many ways.
But…… I can’t believe he’s not a biker! I’m disappointed.

Nice to see the Rauners in a moment of levity most of us can relate to.

So Bruce is Moses? I wonder why Diana decided not to dress up in a costume.

Comment by Wensicia Wednesday, Oct 31, 18 @ 3:24 pm
I know that the costume is supposed to be a wizard from Harry Potter, but man does he look like “Old Father Time 2018″ looking to step aside on New Year’s Eve. Maybe Pritzker could be the “Baby” for “2019.”

“Caption?”
HBO - “Dad’s Home State” - Season 4, Episode 39
Bruce returns from Murphysboro, burns his costume at the mansion while playing “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” on his phone. Diana emails all her contacts that she told Bruce not to go to Murphysboro, so don’t be mad at her. Diana’s state employee starts a scrapbook of Bruce and Diana’s time at the mansion. Hud argues with Anne over which costume Bruce should wear giving a concession speech, the Looch takes all the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups from the mansion candy bin. Comedy, 71 minutes.

Still looks younger than Madigan, though.

Hearing that ABC’s the Conners show is not doing well, Diana and Bruce pitch a new show, The Rauners.

===Diana and Bruce pitch a new show===
They can’t. HBO has media rights until 2022, and we have right of first refusal…
The Rauners will haunt me for all eternity, Halloween costumes, other costumes not withstanding.
We now know why they asked for a raise in the costume allowance for the “Halloween Spooktacular”

Close, JB is teaming up with Kevin James, dressed as an ad for Weight Watchers. Kevin is the “Before” guy, and JB is the “Way Before” guy (credit to “The Sopranos”).

Why isn’t Diana wearing a costume?
