|successor = Please literally anyone. Can we bring Blago back? We at least had a budget under Blago. I mean yes, it took two months but that's better than EIGHT.


|spouse = Elizabeth Rauner {{small|(1980–1993)}}<br>Diana Rauner + |spouse = Elizabeth Rauner {{small|(1980–1993)}}<br>Diana Rauner, who is apparently so special she gets a $100,000 chief of staff while the rest of the state gets LITERALLY NOTHING.

There is a lot of strain and even Mayor Rahm E. has turned on him. I guess they won't be hangin out together at the plutocrat wine club.

Just a few months before announcing plans to become Chicago’s next Democratic mayor, Rahm Emanuel strolled down the gravel path to a Montana resort restaurant with Republican businessman Bruce Rauner, both men smiling as they carried bottles of wine.

In his hand, Emanuel carried a bottle of Napa Valley Reserve. The wine — which a spokeswoman says was not Emanuel’s — is so exclusive it is available only through a private vineyard whose members pay six figures to join the club.
