* Sounds like somebody’s fee-fees are hurt. Maybe it was today’s Daily Herald story. Whatevs. Not like he’s got much of a path to victory anyway…
When I'm elected governor, if the major news networks and media of Illinois do not poll with a high degree of confidence as being trustworthy, they will be excluded from major press conferences until they do. Stop with the agendas and just report the news. #ilpolitihub_

* Nice response from Hannah…
Would love to know what "poll with a high degree of confidence" means. https://t.co/XqmUrkOi8a

If there were reporters covering him regularly I would suggest “I poll with a high degree of confidence” shirts.

What a goof. Desperately trying to achieve relevancy.

Big Lebowksi is in theaters this Wednesday (and was on Sunday) thanks to Fathom Events/TCM, check it out if you’ve never seen it on the big screen!

By confidence he means confidence interval. A statistical term.

Won’t matter.
He might be in jail for not paying child supprt by then.

Spiritualized, I think we know what he means. Doesn’t make his threat any less goofy.

If the poll for Governor lists Bruce Rauner, J.B. Pritzker, Sam McCann and Grayson Jackson, how will we know how much support Benjamin Winderweedle has if his name isn’t included?

It’s probably not a good idea to exclude media from Press Conferences.

===It’s probably not a good idea===
It’s probably not a good idea for a guy who’s polling at 1 percent to be threatening reporters. lol

If the press is excluded from a press event, did the press event ever really occur?
Comment by Pessimistic Tuesday, Aug 7, 18 @ 4:13 pm
Better still:
If Kash Jackson say a bunch of cray cray at a press conference — and the press wasn’t there to cover it - would his rantings really be crazy?

He should start with the student council then work his way up being a “master of the custodial arts”

Rich - the Rick Lesser announcement press release that you linked to leads off with a glaring factual error. Drury was on the primary ballot . . .
Nothing says I don’t know what I’m doing like pushing out a launch press release with a factual error.
“LAKE BLUFF - Incumbent State Rep. Scott Drury tried to run for attorney general rather than re-election in the 58th House District, but he was tossed off the Democrat ballot before the spring primary. Independent and feisty Drury, who has been a thorn in House Speaker Mike Madigan’s side for the last few years, won’t be on the General Election ballot in November.”

“You want a poll? I can get you a poll, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me… Hell, I can get you a poll by 3 o’clock this afternoon — with cross tabs. These @#$%& amateurs…”

That poll really tied the room together.

If I were polling at 1% and the poll is +/- 1%, I’m not sure I would want a more accurate poll.

Younger Cop: And what do you do, sir?
Kash: I’m unemployed.

Are you employed sir?

Does the guy who does not pay child support really want to be anywhere near the media?

Kash, you are entering a world of pain

Walter Sobchak: No Donny, these men are Libertarians. There’s nothing to be afraid of unless you procreate with them.

Johnson?

I can’t vote for a candidate who doesn’t recognize the absurdity of their own candidacy.

===Johnson?
Jeff Trigg. Headed the Illinois Libertarian Party
Comment by Archpundit Tuesday, Aug 7, 18 @ 5:04 pm
No snark, if this guy continues on his current trajectory, it’s not inconceivable that he will withdraw from his ballot spot before November.
Certainly some possibilities for intriguing shenanigans if that comes to pass.
Comment by wordslinger Tuesday, Aug 7, 18 @ 5:09 pm
Oh please, dear. For your information the supreme court has roundly reject prior restraint.

===he will withdraw from his ballot spot before November
Or his court appointed guardian will do it for him.

Arch, after he approaches Angie Dickinson?

Has the Supreme Court ever encountered anyone named Kash Jackson? Try to restrain him, and he’ll round on them.

I took a poll…and 98% of persons polled laughed out loud…and 2% laughed louder.

Do you see what happens, Larry?! Do you see what happens when you don’t pay your child support?
Comment by Humboldt Boulevard Wednesday, Aug 8, 18 @ 8:15 am
This was much needed today. Am I wrong?
Comment by bamatthews Wednesday, Aug 8, 18 @ 12:36 pm
I support Kash Jackson and feel family court in Illinois is super corrupt sewing as they profit millions in federal funds from SS based on child support orders. The guy should be allowed 50% custody of his kids with no child support as he is not violent and has no crimes against him.
As for a name change, people do it all the time. He’s been more than open about it from the start.
How can people be okay with people choosing their gender but not their name?
Policy wise Jackson and the Libertarian Statewide Ticket is way better than Rauner and the GOP and Pritzker and the Democrats.
