Peter Roskam's Jack Benny moment

Robber to Jack Benny: "Your money or your life."

That iconic Jack Benny gag on his love of money is being channeled by my Illinois 6th District Congressman Peter Roskam regarding his deafening silence so far on whether he'll support racist, xenophobe, misogynist GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

I can imagine a conversation like this in the unlikely chance Roskam would engage his constituents in a Town Hall meeting before the election.

Voter to Peter Roskam: "Are you voting for racist, xenophobe, misogynist GOP Candidate Donald Trump or will you vote on principle againt him?"

Unlike Benny, Roskam's dilemma is not a love of money; it's a love of a lifetime in Congress.
