DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE: Amid frustration over election, suburban campaign volunteers fight on – Marni Pyke
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20161024/news/161029429/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It’s important to get involved,” said James McCluskey, a 63-year-old Naperville Republican volunteer. “If you’re not informed … that’s the way government blows past the voters and if that occurs you have an uninformed public.” . . . 11:30 a.m. — Naperville Tables are laden with coffee, doughnuts and campaign literature at the Lisle and Naperville townships’ GOP base in a strip mall. DuPage County District 5 Republican candidate Janice Anderson is distributing bags full of fliers to volunteers before walking precincts in Aurora. Anderson’s favored strategy is to find someone doing yard work and “connect with that voter. Tell them who I am. Look at them in the eye and talk about my race.” Voters aren’t happy, the Naperville Township trustee finds. “They’re angry about the mess in Springfield and what’s going on in the presidential race. I bring it back to what’s important to them … how to fix the roads and making sure we’re running the health department correctly.” When conversation turns to the presidency, Anderson, who backed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in the primary, says, “I’m for whoever can balance the budget.” Among the township foot soldiers is McCluskey. Monday to Friday, he’s an attorney. On weekends, he’s making closing arguments to voters. “You just have to be able to speak to them and present yourself,” McCluskey said. “You’d be surprised … some people just take your materials, a lot of people get engaged.” In fact, McCluskey enjoys the campaign trail so much, “I wish I’d done this at a younger age,” he said.)

To keep their jobs and to get promoted, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates focused on getting rid of federal employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

DAILY ILLINI
— Illini Republicans fractured – Adam Kaz
http://dailyillini.com/news/2016/10/24/anti-trump-post-leads-scandal-resignation-illini-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Trump “Tipping Point” But all this came to a head on Oct. 8, when Piper published a post on the Illini Republicans’ Facebook page denouncing Donald Trump’s lewd statements about women. Piper said he and the executive board agreed to post about the topic, but the executive board took issue with Piper’s actual post, which went live without their approval. While he noted some members thought the words against Trump were too harsh, Piper disagrees. “We could have gone much further and could have said many other negative things about him up to this point,” Piper said. “Donald Trump’s recently revealed comments towards women are reprehensible,” the post stated. “On a campus that struggles to fight sexual assault, we find it absolutely necessary to condemn his words and actions. The Illini Republicans stand for the equality of all women and for all people to be treated in a fair and respectful manner.” The post has since been taken down. Correll credited Piper’s post as the tipping point. As the club was split on supporting Trump, Correll said it was inappropriate for Piper to bypass the executive board’s approval. A few days after the post, Menezes received a petition from the executive board asking her and Piper to step down. Menezes alerted Piper that the executive board accused him of withholding funds from the board and the treasurer by holding club money in a private bank account. Piper said these accusations were brought forth by executive board members Bernal, Brown, Elena Ahasic and Jonathan Heideman among others. All four declined to comment.)

I bring campaign literature for all Republican candidates to all the homes in my precinct that have one or more Republican or Independent registered voter. Because of that, I encounter far too many nasty Democrats and nasty Democrat plants, nasty Libertarians and nasty Libertarian plants, nasty Greens and nasty Green plants, and nasty RINOs. Because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, they blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. They are filled with hatred against Trump and against Trump’s supporters. They make it clear that they are going to punish me and punish all Republicans because of Trump. They “feel free” to be nasty to me and even worse things because of my terrible demographics – Republican, conservative, White, male, older, German national origin, Protestant, gun owner, non-veteran, non-poor, ancestors who have been in America for a long time, overweight, childless, pet-less, etc. Many of them know of those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout who want to get rid of me.)
