With the much-anticipated race between Governor Bruce Rauner and J.B. Prtitzker coming down the stretch run for November’s election, voters everywhere are looking forward to . . .

Watch—even with all the excitement over the mayor’s race since Rahm threw in the towel and announced he wasn’t going to run for reelection—when it finally comes around to electing a new mayor, everybody will be talking about who’s the best Democrat to beat Trump in 2020.

Then you can look forward to voting for Sean Casten, his Democratic challenger, provided you live in the Sixth Congressional District, which covers parts of DuPage, Lake, and suburban Cook Counties.

But so what? This is an existential crisis for Illinois voters. Rauner has spent the last three years attempting to do to Illinois what Scott Walker did to Wisconsin—turn it into an anti-union one-party state that helps put creeps like Trump in the White House.
