I had the misfortune of meeting Bruce Rauner last summer while working the Democratic table at a county fair. Bruce Rauner came swooping down on our table, where I was arranging things inside and my co-worker was arranging things outside. With no warning, he suddenly enfolded my co-worker in his arms, looking down mockingly from his 6-ft+ height, rocking the poor man back and forth while crooning, "MMMM, if only I could hold you in my arms like this long enough to make you start thinking the right way." I stared in shock, SO GLAD that there was a large table between us. Apparently unaware that he had just been incredibly RUDE (and, in fact, legally guilty of assault), he then stuck his hand out at me and said jauntily, "I'm Bruce Rauner, and I'm running for Governor as a Republican."
How could this case of overprivileged arrested development fool anybody? Talk about a sense of entitlement! Clearly he has lived his whole life in the fantasy world of IOKIYAR. He reminds me a lot of Mitt Romney (and that character Michael, the socially clumsy office manager on that comedy show The Office). I really think the Democratic organization should just have people follow Rauner around with hidden videocams. They will certainly capture many moments like this one. Clearly, Rauner had NO IDEA that he had done anything wrong.
