Bruce Rauner was likewise was a "moderate" who was successfully "elected" in Illinois. He governorship ALSO resulted in LOTS of RED policies in Illinois!

The more the GOP keeps saying these RINOs will make their states "red", the more they get communists in power who prove their point!
Elect RINOs: Get RED Stalinist totalitarian governments!
