* Apparently, a red tie doesn’t clash with a motorcycle vest on Cinco de Mayo…

* Speaking of awkward…


Thanks governor @BruceRauner for helping me out. She said yes! #promposal pic.twitter.com/cW4QYYRqbR

That’s just… I… Nevermind.

  1. Bruce won’t fund a university system that Illinois finest high school seniors want to attend, but he can get one senior a date for prom.

    Leadership.

  2. Hello and welcome to Cracker Barrel. My name is Bruce. Can I bring y’all somethin’ to drink, or maybe an appetizer?

  3. Brian Daly. Representing.

  4. The Cubs hat, Olympic sweater combo is from the quintessential Brian Daly weekend-wear collection. I assume that he has ear buds in with U2 on.

  5. Bruce needs a fez. But otherwise, fabulous Shriner’s git-up.

  6. I thought the promposal was well done. Bruce actually looked relaxed for once.

  7. –Hello and welcome to Cracker Barrel.–

    Tchitchkes. He’s way beyond the minimum for flair.

    But the vest just isn’t the same without the cowboy hat or motorcycle helmet.

    Tom, young man, please, make quick use of the delete button. Trust me on this.

  8. Are you sure that’s from a Cinco de Mayo event? Looks more like Polish Constitution Day to me.

  9. We really need to talk about Bruce’s pieces of flair. 15 is the minimum, I’m counting maybe 20 there, he really should have at least 37.

  10. If the top picture is for Cinco de Mayo why are the guy and the girl holding the flag of Poland?

  11. Tommy, she may have said yes, but she’s not allowed to go with you until the turnaround agenda is passed. #promposalhostage

  12. Let’s hope that it becomes a race to the bottom for votes this fall. Can’t wait to see what tops the promposal…

  14. With Brian and Mary Kate all the way there

  15. does that dude have a double billed, two sided cubs hat on?

    Comment by Anon Monday, May 7, 18 @ 2:50 pm

  16. Rauner fails to respect the role of governor and patronizes citizens by dressing the way he does, how he speaks to us, and by how he ignores anyone he can’t use.

    Every politician does this, it’s just that Rauner’s really bad at it.

    Comment by VanillaMan Monday, May 7, 18 @ 3:36 pm

  17. Cullerton’s a Cubs fan?

    Comment by Leatherneck Monday, May 7, 18 @ 3:37 pm

  18. To Rauner,

    This seems to be a hybrid look for the costume wearing Governor. You get the phony vest and all the flair… and a tie too. It appears the governor can’t find “who he is” anymore. When you lack a constituency, those things tend to happen.

    I did wonder aloud if it was a gift. Maybe even given that day?

    The protocol for the Rauner costume wearin’ seems to be off, which makes it even more awkward then it already looks.

  19. “I don’t go to Springfield for the people that live off of investment returns”…….”that’s who I serve with my property tax law practice.”

  20. “Are you sure that’s from a Cinco de Mayo event? Looks more like Polish Constitution Day to me.”

    It was here is the link to the original instagram pix

    The confusion is understandable. The parade was held on May 5th.

    Wonder why 1.4% could squeeze in a Cinco De Mayo event.
