He doesn't need to lie, he doesn't need to victimize, he doesn't feel the need to brag. he doesn't need his ass kissed by everyone in his view, he doesn't deflect, no bullying, no gimmicks. He understands the issues and looks for reasonable solutions.

No drama, no late-night online meltdowns, no bombast, no cringy "jokes", no hate speech, respect for the laws and institutions and ideals that will make this country great again.

Flawless, in fact. I'd hate to lose him as governor, but I think he'd make a great potus.

My favorite moment was when he brought up his involvement with the Illinois Holocaust Museum and used that as a springboard to talking about authoritarianism and how Schlump is using the same playbook as the Nazis.

Love my gov! 💙
