POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Republicans and conservative supporters had the makings of a pity party at a (private) holiday luncheon yesterday. Then Richard Porter took the mic and whipped the crowd into shape. The Chicago attorney and Republican National Committeeman who supported Gov. Bruce Rauner to the bitter end of the midterms, rallied the 200-plus guests at the (Westin) Hotel in Lombard. . .The crowd of notable names erupted in cheers. Among those in the crowd: Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, House Leader Jim Durkin, former Illinois state Sen. Kirk Dillard, DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, Petco founder Jay Bergman, Kirkland & Ellis’ Sandy Perl, Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service President David Hill III, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Commissioner David Walsh, former state Rep. Skip Saviano, and Kim Godden, who led a discussion with guest speaker Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner. – Shia Kapos

NBC NEWS
— Help wanted: Trump needs new chief of staff for ‘the worst of times’ Analysis: If the president doesn’t empower his next top aide, he could encounter serious problems, experts say. – Jonathan Allen
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/wanted-trump-chief-staff-worst-times-n946146
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Experts on White House operations say Trump’s desire to run his own operation has been an impediment to him and could make the job less attractive to potential candidates. Chris Lu, who served as Cabinet secretary under President Barack Obama, told NBC News that part of the problem is that Trump hasn’t shown much willingness to let his chiefs of staff, Reince Priebus and Kelly, do their jobs. That includes managing the policy process, limiting the number decisions the president has to make, controlling access and telling him “no” when he needs to hear it. “It doesn’t seem like Trump really wants a chief of staff, and that’s just not an efficient way to run a White House — to have the president calling all the shots,” Lu said. “You don’t need a yes-man as chief of staff. That’s a recipe for disaster.”)
