IL primary elections mid-march: know who's running in EVERY Dem race? Trump.

Close second: that guy who's named ICE. ;-)
Progressive Dems are running as kinda "name" even if they're not organized as a separate party: is that a good thing?
Mostly amusing: current Lt Governor to Fatazz Pritzker is Juliana Stratton. I guess she's got a commercial where a number of people just say "fuk Trump" as their only message. (Bleeped out, of course.) I mean, do they think Dem voters are going to be swayed to her by that message?
And as a follow up, US Senate race to succeed the retiring Dick Durbin (age 81 as of today) features Raja K, a guy who has worked his way up from local races to US rep (skipping Springfield), against Stratton (backed by billionaire Pritzker) and Robin Kelly, another congressman (backed by NYC billionaire/politician Michael Bloomberg).
