— Florida Sen. Marco Rubio visits Oak Brook to support Congressman Peter Roskam – Craig Wall (DIERSEN: According to the Roskam campaign, if the campaign does not send a press advisory for an event to a reporter like me, the Roskam campaign does not want that reporter to attend. The Roskam campaign did not send me a press advisory for this event or for the Scalise event. What do you say to those around Roskam who blame me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for Roskam’s problems, for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems?)

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.)

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

In addition to her being a Jewish woman, they resented the fact that she was younger, she was attractive, she was wealthy, she was a CPA, she had an MBA from the University of Chicago, and she was Russian-American. They were furious when I got her appointed the board of directors of IIT’s Financial Markets and Trading Master’s Degree Program.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-trump-maga-rally-illinois-20181027-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner showed up at the rally despite years of actively distancing himself from the controversial president — at least until recently when the governor sought to try to unify core social conservatives angry with his signature on laws expanding abortion, immigration and transgender rights. Trump made no mention of Rauner, who sat off to the side in bleachers far behind the main podium. Wearing a motorcycle vest and a baseball cap affirming the pro-police message “Back the Blue,” Rauner did not address the audience. While Rauner was Downstate, Democratic challenger J.B. Pritzker was campaigning in the west and northwest suburbs while adding $10 million to his own already record-shattering self-funding mark, bringing it to more than $171.5 million since he launched his campaign fund in March of last year. In a campaign fundraising email appeal for other Democratic candidates, Pritzker said Rauner’s attendance at the Trump rally was a “final desperate attempt to save his failing campaign.”)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Trump ignores Rauner at southern Illinois rally; praises Bost, Hultgren, Davis – Lynn Sweet (DIERSEN: According to this article, Roskam is “wooing voters who are turned off by Trump’s divisive politics and scorched rhetoric.” What do you say to those who advise Roskam to woo anti-Trumps by dumping Trump supporting Dave Diersen and his GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails? Since 2000, those advisors have blamed Diersen and his emails for all the losses that Republicans have suffered in Illinois.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/trump-ignores-rauner-southern-illinois-rally-praises-bost-hultgren-davis/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who must reclaim the GOP base to win re-election, showed up in the audience at President Donald Trump’s southern Illinois rally on Saturday, though Trump never mentioned the governor in his remarks nor invited him to the stage. If it was a deliberate snub, it was a remarkable rebuff — a Republican president ignoring a GOP governor who is struggling to win a second term against Democrat J.B. Pritzker. Or Rauner’s team may have said it’s OK to ignore him as he continues to try to have it both ways when it comes to Trump. While avoiding Rauner, Trump did give a big boost to three of the four Republican Illinois House members facing tough re-election races: Reps. Mike Bost, Rodney Davis and, in a big surprise, Randy Hultgren. Hultgren traveled more than 300 miles from his Chicago area district to Murphysboro to plant his flag with the president in the unannounced appearance. I heard that Rauner’s team was trying to arrange a last minute private meeting with Trump, a move calculated to try to appease the GOP base he has alienated so much that he barely won re-nomination in the March Illinois GOP primary. I’m not sure that private meeting ever took place. I did see Rauner pictured in the crowd standing next to Republican National Committee Finance Chair Todd Ricketts, who did visit with Trump at the rally. It’s hard to see how this fence straddling will work well for Rauner. While he avoided being caught in the same camera frame as Trump — which would depress his support among the independents and moderate Republicans he needs — he still was not embraced by Trump. Trump is very popular with the segments of the Republican base Rauner knows he needs. Rauner on Saturday was trying to catch a ride on Trump’s coat tails without paying much of a price. The rally was billed as a boost for Bost. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., in a fight with Democratic nominee Seat Casten in the 6th district, was the only one of the four GOP targets who did not attend the Trump rally, which made sense since his re-election depends on wooing voters who are turned off by Trump’s divisive politics and scorched rhetoric. Hultgren is in a tight race with Democratic nominee Lauren Underwood in the 14th congressional district, in prior years safe GOP turf. Hultgren needs Trump’s help to turn out Republicans who otherwise sit out mid-terms. Hultgren may have decided to journey to Murphysboro, near Carbondale, because former Vice President Joe Biden headlines a rally for Underwood on Wednesday at the Kane County Fairgrounds in St. Charles, where blues singer Keb’ Mo’ will also perform. “We need your vote,” Hultgren said to the crowd, though he was hundreds of miles away from his voters. Bost is facing a strong challenge for the 12th district seat from Democrat Brendan Kelly, the St. Clair County State’s Attorney. Davis is running against Democrat contender BetsyDirksen Londrigan in the 13th district, anchored in central Illinois.)

— American anti-Semitism: It’s getting worse – Jennifer Rubin (DIERSEN: Many of my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were anti-Semitic. Many of the aforesaid did not want to supervise, work with, or work for the Jewish woman who I volunteered to work for in 1990 and continued to work for until she and my other Democrat superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In addition to her being a Jewish woman, they resented the fact that she was younger, she was attractive, she was wealthy, she was a CPA, she had an MBA from the University of Chicago, and she was Russian-American. They were furious when I got her appointed the board of directors of IIT’s Financial Markets and Trading Master’s Degree Program.)

— A quarter of college students could develop PTSD because of the 2016 election, a new study suggests – Isaac Stanley-Becker (DIERSEN: What might cause you to develop PTSD? For me, it is my Democrat superiors’ success in wasting my federal career and forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. The chances my developing PTSD because of that increases every time those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican make it clear that they side with my Democrat superiors.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/10/24/quarter-college-students-could-develop-ptsd-because-election-new-study-suggests/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are college students “snowflakes” — triggered, traumatized and altogether too delicate for the real world? Or are they apathetic — so unconcerned that they can’t be bothered to purchase stamps to send in their absentee ballots? The two characterizations of young Americans are in conflict, observed Melissa Hagan, an assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University. Her research has led her to believe that neither captures what’s going on in the minds of young people. Their intense reaction to political events runs contrary to the charge of apathy, she said, while the emotional trauma they report should not be dismissed as hypersensitivity. With a team of researchers, she surveyed 769 introductory psychology students at Arizona State University in January and February 2017, asking about their satisfaction with the 2016 election, whether they were upset about the outcome and whether the results of the race had affected their close relationships.)

She fears the number of military troops being sent is not enough. “We have no idea who’s coming through our borders and again, as far as I’m concerned it’s our government who’s responsible for the safety and security of our country first, our citizens first,” said Pulido.)

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.
