CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Who’s on Pritzker’s Springfield team? As the election draws near, insiders are beginning to chatter about who the Democratic nominee might put in his government and his kitchen cabinet. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: What do you say to “Republican” candidates who do not want those on their team or in their kitchen cabinet who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and the Republican Party platform? What do you say to “Republican” candidates who want those on their team and in their kitchen cabinet who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and even worse things?)

As everyone knows, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE FINANCIALLY if you are not solidly on track to have at least $1,000,000 in today’s dollars saved for your retirement. Further, if you are not very wealthy, if not extremely wealthy, “he who pays the piper calls the tunes” applies all the more. Who do you want to be calling the tunes of elected officials?)

POLITICO
— The Democrats’ Culture Divide Energized progressives are thrilled with their momentum in the Trump era. But the party’s blue-collar base might not want what the new left is delivering. – DAVID FREEDLANDER (DIERSEN: To vote for Democrats is to not only shout that you are anti-Trump, but also to shout that you are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

I should write a book about those who have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned a) the jobs that I held and b) me as being a horribly failed member of the working class. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

After further investigation, I discovered the requirement to be considered on the top 100 list is only one week of paid leave. I was shocked.)

DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTOS OF CASTEN AND ROSKAM: Where Casten, Roskam find support as election approaches – Marie Wilson
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20181029/where-casten-roskam-find-support-as-election-approaches
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The district in the past two elections has handily gone to Roskam. In 2016, he beat Democrat Amanda Howland, 59 percent to 41 percent. In 2014, he did even better, winning against Democrat Michael Mason with 67 percent of ballots cast. Roskam’s closest call was his first House election, when in 2016 he claimed 51 percent of the vote to edge out now-U. S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth. This time, early political analyses called the race a tossup. Fox News still does. So does political news website FiveThirtyEight, which Sunday night gave Roskam a 50.5 percent chance of winning. But now, at least three other sources — The Cook Political Report, Sabato’s Crystal Ball from the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics and Inside Elections nonpartisan analysis from Nathan Gonzales — say the race “leans” or “tilts” Democratic.)
— How outside groups help in 6th Congressional District ‘where votes count’ – Marie Wilson (DIERSEN: There are seven 4X3 Roskam signs and two 4X4 Roskam signs being displayed in my precinct.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Immigration may be on the national stage, but in Illinois it’s also a key issue in the governor’s race – Elvia Malagon and Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents NOT want you to talk to political reporters about? My critics/opponents do NOT want me to talk to political reporters a) about my support for the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party and Republican Party platforms; b) about my support for Trump, Roskam, Rauner and all the other Republicans who have won primary races; c) about my wanting the $10,000 SALT cap to be increased to $20,000 for married filing jointly; d) about what I have done to help elect Trump, Roskam, Rauner, and the rest of the Republican candidates on general election ballots in my precinct; e) about the seven 4X3 Roskam signs and the two 4X4 Roskam signs that are being displayed in my precinct; or f) that both Roskam and Hultgren endorsed me when I first ran for Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2000.)

— Gov. Bruce Rauner went to Murphysboro to see President Trump, but didn’t get a meeting or a shoutout – Rick Pearson
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-morning-spin-monday-20181028-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Rauner got no mention from Trump, it’s unclear if the governor was present for what might be considered an ignominious shoutout that the president gave to a onetime Illinoisan who is a Republican gubernatorial candidate — John Cox. Cox is running for governor of California though he is viewed as having little chance in the heavily Democratic state. Cox took on perennial candidate status in Illinois last decade in unsuccessfully running for a variety of offices, including Congress and U.S. Senate. In his quest for public office, he mounted a 2008 bid for president, which also ended in failure. “He should win. John Cox. He should win,” Trump told the Illinois audience. “He’s so good. It’s a hard place to win but he should win.”)
— No time for questions: Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti was at Trump’s rally in southern Illinois on Saturday. She entered the airplane hangar venue through the entrance used for VIP invitees and the media a few hours before Trump spoke. Asked by a reporter about the rally after going through security, she said she wasn’t allowed to give interviews. – Mike Riopell

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— Because We Live Here – Pedro Gonzalez
https://www.amgreatness.com/2018/10/27/because-we-live-here/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: What surges toward the United States from the south is not a “caravan,” it is an invading force. Mothers who take money from leftist activists to drag their children on for thousands of miles in front of cameras are not brave, they are mercenary. Men who tear apart metal barriers and cry, “Donald Trump is the antichrist,” are not “just looking for work,” they are looking for a fight and are daring anyone to stop them. Just as well, I would refer the “free market” fearmongers, who insist that America needs a constant influx of fresh “diversity” as tribute to satiate the Invisible Hand, to Chilton Williamson Jr.: “You could ‘prove’ to me that, without the immediate transference of the entire population of Hong Kong to the state of California, the United States would be in a major economic depression by the middle of next year, and I would still be against transferring it there.” Yet even as we scramble to address the threat before us, another rears its head. There is now a second mob 2,500 strong organizing to march on the United States.)

— Suburban Republicans struggling to survive Trump – David M. Drucker (DIERSEN: Too many of those around Roskam want Roskam to run as an anti-Trump. Of course, because I support Trump and because many opinion leaders in Roskam’s congressional district read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, too many of those around Roskam want Roskam to dump me completely.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/suburban-republicans-struggling-to-survive-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: BARTLETT, Ill. — The Republican Party is on the ropes in America’s upscale suburbs, usually friendly territory that is poised to rebuke President Trump and deliver the House majority to the Democrats, in the final days of a volatile fall campaign. In suburban Chicago, Rep. Peter Roskam is battling to survive amid political headwinds Republicans last experienced in the late 2000s with dual blue waves that booted the GOP from power in Congress and elevated Illinois Democrat Barack Obama to the White House. Roskam always beat the odds, overcoming challenges more daunting than his Democratic opponent this year, businessman Sean Casten. None of these hurdles were Trump. In galvanizing a loyal coalition of conservative populists that won an unlikely 2016 victory simultaneously drove moderate Republican women and independents in the suburbs into the arms of the Democrats, putting the House in play and the GOP majority in serious jeopardy. In Roskam’s district, Democrat Hillary Clinton defeated Trump by 7 points; similar results played out in nearly two-dozen traditionally Republican seats. “I’ve said early on in this presidency that the president should stop tweeting; just throw the Twitter feed away and there’s really nothing good I’ve seen that has happened as a result,” Roskam said Wednesday in an interview with the Washington Examiner, after a campaign swing through the 6th Congressional District. “When it’s been appropriate for me to stand up to the administration, I’ve done that, and I’ve been vocal.” Putting an “independent check” on Trump is a big theme of the Casten campaign. This is “something that Peter Roskam has failed to do as he’s voted with Trump 94 percent of the time,” Casten spokesman Greg Bales said. Casten declined a request for an interview. The Trump revolt in suburbia is fueling the Democratic Party just down the road in the neighboring 14th Congressional District, a roughly half-rural, half-suburban seat drawn to protect Republican incumbents and that voted for the president over Clinton by nearly 4 points. Republican Rep. Randy Hultgren is in measurably better shape than Roskam, according to the available polling data and the analysis of party insiders on both sides of the aisle. But the congressman’s dynamic Democratic challenger, Obama administration veteran Lauren Underwood, an African-American woman, is forcing Hultgren to fight for a fifth term. The rise of quality Democratic candidates in usually sleepy GOP districts like the 14th is a key component of what House Republicans are spread so thin as they labor to defend their 23-seat majority. Early Thursday morning, more than two-dozen Underwood supporters packed a meeting room at a local community college for a round table on climate change and the environment. This sort of fresh energy in GOP districts on the margins of competitiveness is boosting Democratic prospects, putting even more pressure on Republican incumbents in battleground districts that are on the frontlines of the Democrats’ assault. “You are finding a lot of women, in particular, that are motivated and angry and upset and are actually taking that next step to actually get involved, not only through traditional routes in terms of the county party structures or the county parties, but also just kind of forming their own pop-up groups,” said Kristina Zahorik, chairwoman of the Democratic Party in McHenry County, in the 14th District. “In previous cycles, we didn’t see that,” Zahorik added. Democrats less than two weeks before Election Day are maintaining a generic ballot lead of between 7 and 8 points, just enough for them to win the House but not enough to guarantee victory. Some Republicans, though still in danger, have seen their numbers improve as GOP enthusiasm has ticked up in the aftermath of the explosive confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Roskam, hard-working and battle-tested, is beginning to feel a change in the tide that the sixth-term congressman said reminds him of past hard-fought finishes in tough environments. On Wednesday, a relaxed Roskam accepted the endorsement of a local chamber of commerce before assembled dignitaries and employees at an automotive repair shop in Crystal Lake, a leafy community of 40,000 in his district, as he talked up tax reform and its impact on the economy. The $1.3 trillion tax overhaul has been a tough sell in affluent blue-state suburbs, as voters calculate the loss of the federal deduction for state and local taxes. Roskam, as member of the House tax-writing committee, has come under fire for the legislation in some quarters. But signs of pressure were nonexistent as he traversed the district, asking voters to talk about how the law improved their finances. The Roskam campaign is hitting Casten for supporting a hike in the gas tax, an issue that could offset blowback for his support of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Backng a gas tax is a curious position in an area where voters are so dependent on their automobiles for transportation. Roskam said his opposition is “common sense,” an approach that he believes has helped him weather past storms, and will do so again. “I love campaigns like this — because campaigns like this are about worldview. This is not donkeys and elephants; it’s not shirts and skins, it’s about how do we view the economy ultimately,” Roskam said as he accepted the chamber endorsement.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Hatch Act restricts federal employee participation in certain partisan political activities. The political activity restrictions apply during the entire time of an employee’s federal service. Certain rules prohibit both on-duty and off-duty conduct. Partisan political activities are those activities directed at the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group. While most Federal employees are permitted to take an active part in partisan political management and partisan political campaigns, the Hatch Act does prohibit certain participation by all Federal employees. Federal employees may not seek public office in partisan elections, use their official title or authority when engaging in political activity, solicit or receive contributions for partisan political candidates or groups, and engage in political activity while on duty.)

The higher that the cost of living is where you live, the more income and the more net worth that you need to be “middle class.”)
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/17/how-much-money-you-have-to-earn-to-be-in-the-upper-class.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Of course, there’s more to class than income: Class can also encompass net worth, education, background and occupation, for example, as well as other factors. For these purposes, however, Pew refers to income and class interchangeably. What it takes to be upper-class also depends on where you live.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— After Rauner: Ricketts, the IMA and the future of the Illinois GOP The shift of millions of dollars in dark money suggests the fight for control of the Illinois Republican Party is on, with implications for Chicago’s mayoral race, too. – GREG HINZ (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. As everyone knows, anti-conservatives have always a) dominated the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) and b) blamed conservatives for all losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois. Those anti-conservatives want the IRP a) to officially demonize, denigrate, condemn, and banish Trump, b) to officially banish Trump supporters from the IRP, c) to officially strike the traditional family, right to life, immigration, and Second Amendment planks from the IRP platform, d) to officially promote LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the Second Amendment, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, etc., and e) to officially banish conservatives, that is, Republicans, from the IRP.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/after-rauner-ricketts-ima-and-future-illinois-gop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: All of this is occurring as Republican chatter builds about what will happen after Rauner and the tens of millions of dollars he’s plowed into the party are gone. Ricketts reportedly is interested in stepping up his activity, perhaps with Griffin as a partner, insiders say. The Ricketts clan does have quite a political pedigree, with Todd Ricketts’ brother, Pete Ricketts, now the governor of Nebraska, and his sister, Laura Ricketts, a leading national Democratic donor. Chairman Schneider, in an interview, said his term has well over three more years to run and “at this point,” he expects to complete it. But he conceded that considerable concern about the future is being raised in a party in which conservative activist state Rep. Jeanne Ives almost defeated Rauner in the March primary, and conservative activist Dan Proft, with help from wealthy businessman Dick Uhlein, has been running millions of ads on behalf of Illinois House candidates he says will be independent of both Rauner and Democratic House Speaker Mike Madigan. “I definitely think there will be a change in leadership of the party after Rauner loses,” Ives says. “I expect to sit with all parts of the party after the election,” Schneider told me. “We’ll put our collective heads together to try to sort out things should work together.” As for Ricketts—a spokesman denied to Politico that he or his family are involved in dark money activities—I wish we had a lot of people like Todd,” Schneider said. “He’s a great guy.”)

My vision cannot be corrected to 20/30, let alone 20/20. I need cataract surgery on both eyes. I have partial red/green color blindness. I do not get enough exercise. I sit in a chair 10+ hours each and every day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out. Because I am a federal retiree, my wife and I pay only $6,000/year for $24,000/year worth of health, dental, and vision insurance. Knowing that federal retirees and their spouses have lifetime membership in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program (https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healthcare/) helped me endure the many negatives associated with being a federal employee for almost 30 years.)

— Americans are divided over everything except division Across a broad collection of groups – Democrats and Republicans, Clinton voters and Trump voters – more than 70 percent say the nation is divided. – Dante Chinni and Sally Bronston (DIERSEN: What do you say to those who say that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican AND who ever-increasingly blame Trump and blame his supporters like me for their problems?)
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/americans-are-divided-over-everything-except-division-n922511
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The poll asked respondents who they blame for the nation’s disunited state and when you look at their answers through the frame of Donald Trump’s presidency, sharp divisions emerge. Among the 30 percent of respondents in the poll who strongly approve of President Trump’s job performance, there is a pretty clear line of blame for the nation’s divided nature. The “Democratic Party/Liberals” lead the way with this group, as one might expect. Next on the list is former President “Barack Obama.” Trump’s supporters also cast a somewhat wider net. They give some blame to “Godless”ness, “The Media,” and “The People/General Public of America.” Some even go as far as mentioning “Donald Trump,” but on the whole, there is a distinct partisan cast to the list. On the other side of the Trump divide, the 43 percent who strongly disapprove of President Trump’s job performance, we can see an even clearer picture. Donald Trump’s name stands apart from every other option on the list of potential causes with this group. Following behind the president is the “Republican Party/Conservatives” but no other answer rates very high. This is a distinctly blue view of the nation’s disunity. And among the 27 percent of respondents who neither strongly approve nor disapprove of Trump’s job performance, the president takes most of the blame, but his opponents take a hit as well.)
