Lance tweets pictures of Election results with sad emojis to Lou Lang, “ck” takes out “super-majority” in the Rauner Word Jumble vocabulary. Goldberg writes a letter to Jay Cutler. Comedy, 63 minutes.

  30. The Governor attempts to appeal to Illinois Democrats by donning a Jimmy Carter outfit. This may cause both Madigan and Cullerton to put their own politics aside, and support the Governor’s political agenda. Alternatively, it might convince them to lower the thermostat in their offices.
