|    IL governor    |

      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A49       MSGID: 1:342/200 0e2bf44c       TZUTC: -0700       The Illinois governor had some fascinating answers to Kristen Welker's       questions on "Meet the Press."              1) "I'm a billionaire."              I didn't know that about him. So what's a billionaire doing in the governor's       office? Is he solving problems left and right just like Trump does in the Oval       Office? (Not that I'm aware of.)              2) "We've got to have a free public education available to every kid in this       country."              Why is he trying to appeal to illegal immigrants? Why would any Democrat       governor want to appeal to illegal immigrants?              And something Welker said was interesting too, for the first time ever:       "Despite President Trump winning 44% of the statewide vote in 2024,       Republicans hold only three of Illinois' 17 districts."              The governor didn't offer an intelligent response to that question, but he       used the old "don't make any sense at all" technique:              "We held public hearings, legislative hearings. People attended them. They       spoke out. There was a map that was put out. There were actually changes made       to the map and a map was passed, and it was done at the end of the census, the       decennial census, so that's how it's done in this country."              (Or was that "evade, distract, and cloudify?")              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64)        * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/200)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 114 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 470 700 705       SEEN-BY: 266/512 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 342/200 202 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 342/200 229/426           |
