Trump and Rauner appear to be made from the same cloth. Rauner still thinks the government can and should be ran like his venture capitalist business.

FAQs for Poker Night at Bruce Rauner’s
1. Will you be given any chips?

–Only Bruce will be given a hand to play. You will watch. If Mike Madigan shows up, and we have no information on that, he will get one card.
3. Will refreshments be served?
–Yes. To Bruce. You bring your own, commie.
