The Weekend Desk ReportI dare Bruce Rauner to claim this under oath. From Doug Finke for the Springfield State Journal-Register: Monday's presidential debate between DONALD TRUMP and HILLARY CLINTON drew a Super Bowl-sized viewing audience. * The governor of the country's fifth-largest state refuses to discuss presidential politics, but public radio's Amanda Vinicky reminds us that "Earlier this week . . . Rauner also affirmed he would support the Republican nominee." * Attendees at a Trump fundraiser in Bolingbrook this week: Todd Ricketts, Dan Hampton, WeatherTech CEO David MacNeil, and Mayor Roger Claar. May their names be inscribed in the history books of life. * "Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump was headlining a fundraiser at the home of Bill and Shelley Farley, attended by a group that was 2 to 1 women, according to a Sneed source - as well as legendary Bears coach Mike Ditka and his wife, Diana; comedian Tom Dreesen; Barry and Tracy Mansur; Ron Gidwitz, Todd Ricketts and Sugar Rautbord." * Trump also spoke at the Polish National Alliance here this week. * "Trump was at the Alliance for two private meetings at the invitation of the Polish American Congress, PNA official Alicia Kuklinska told the Chicago Sun-Times. "After the meetings he spoke for 18 minutes in what a pool reporter described as 'very muted, if not hushed, tones.'" * "Will County Board member Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen, said the polling information Trump shared was encouraging," tronc reports. "Garry Slabaugh, of Romeoville, said he was excited the candidate he supports was appearing so close to home. "'I heard about (the fundraiser) last night, and I could hardly sleep,' Slabaugh said. 'My wife wishes she was off today so she could be here.' "He said he supports Trump because 'he's tells the truth.'" * "We're just taking advantage of our time to see him since we couldn't see him at the rally when he was in Chicago," Trump supporter Judy Gardner told WBEZ. "'I don't know why he bothers with Illinois to be honest. I really don't. They're all losers here,' said Gardner, referring to Illinois' history of voting in favor of the Democratic presidential nominee." - Beachwood Photo Booth: Party Store Worst Place On Planet To Be On Thursday Night Announced Gary Johnson Fails To Clear Exceptionally Low Bar A Journey Into The World Of Chicago's Feral Cats 24 Hours With Baby1 The Week In Chicago Rock - Beachwood Sports Radio: Cubs' Fall Spring Fling - The Sound Opinions Weekend Listening Report: "September is bursting with major new album releases.
