The State of Illinois is a Political circus. Our politicians are best at keeping political reporters employed.

This guy beats anything else nationaly. He put a knife to his ex wifes throat. He has/had prostitute girlfriends, his family sued him, he owes child support, he was a pawnbroker...
Too much to list,

Cohen has taken a shady politician to a new level, or low.

That guy did not pay a whole host of bills.

The Democrats deserved this, for not paying attention or doing anything about it up front. They did not think he would win. That should not matter. A creep like this in their party makes the thieves already in Illinois look even worse.
