Which is a good deal. And yes, time to coalesce around the Dem candidates. We don't want a repeat of the 2016 presidential election. This means supporting Lipinksi - which should be a NO BRAINER given his opponent. Let's hope Arthur Jones is used in Dem ads across the nation as Jones is not alone in his thinking. He just says it out loud and in print.

In my (small) precinct, Rauner only beat Ives by 1 vote. And some voters must not have picked either of them as the totals for our congressional candidate were higher than the total for the governor.
