Gov Rauner Gives Trump Luke Warm Embrace

The Republican nominee for president will have Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner's support ... no matter who he is. Back when Rauner was running for governor, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was often in Illinois, helping him campaign. Rauner didn't return the favor when Christie tried to win the White House. Despite having millions of dollars in his campaign fund, he has stayed out of the presidential primary. Rauner made no endorsements, and has generally skirted questions the race. But this time, when a reporter asked the governor "If Trump is the nominee, will you support him?" Rauner had an answer. "Um .. uh … I will support the Republican party's nominee for president. I'll do everything I can to work with that, uh, nominee." Some of Trump's campaign promises match Rauner's. Both men say government needs their business acumen, and that their private wealth keeps them free from insiders' influence.
