Well friends
This is what happens when the tyrannical left gets their powers over our bus. Once we get her fixed we’ll have our friend Tom DeVore file a lawsuit against Pritzker for this. That tyrant.

Maintenance, Darren. It’s all about maintenance. Bailey seeks to run the state of Illinois yet can’t keep the campaign bus on the road.
Maybe a loan from his buddy DeVore will solve his cash flow problem.

Here’s an idea…lease a working bus from a company. Stop groveling for $15 donations from the fan base.
Truly embarrassing.

These damn modern busses. They got so much extra junk on them that a shade tree mechanic can’t do nothin’. A sensor for this, and a sensor for that. The next thing ya know a 35 cent O ring blows and nobody’s got the part.

Wonder if AAA membership includes towing the campaign bus.

When the bus was in for it’s last oil change, did they change the air in the tires?
Comment by Huh? Monday, Mar 21, 22 @ 1:51 pm
Why are we looking in the trunk? Isn’t the engine in the front of the bus?
Comment by Huh? Monday, Mar 21, 22 @ 1:52 pm
=Stop groveling for $15 donations from the fan base.=
He learned it from the former Grifter-in-Chief, who was on a plane not long ago that lost an engine and had to land. The Big Orange then sent a fundraising email so he could buy a new plane, but here’s the thing - he wasn’t even flying on his own plane, he was flying on a donor’s.

What was the metaphor? Was it that we all face bumps in the road but we fix ourselves and move along? Is it a metaphor for how Darren Bailey is going to win the primary despite setbacks?

If the breakdown was on MacArthur or on South 5th or 6th Streets (south of South Grand):
“Jim Langfelder and the potholes he controls.”
Comment by NonAFSCMEStateEmployeeFromChatham Monday, Mar 21, 22 @ 5:02 pm
If this happened anywhere between Springfield and Chatham:
“This breakdown is brought to you by decades of Springfield Infrastructure Planning Incompetence. It wouldn’t have happened if there would have been an intersection of MacArthur and both Woodside and Iron Bridge.”
