Rauner campaigning to be Gov. 'Next Question'

Has Illinois ever had a major party candidate for governor more obtuse and less candid than Bruce Rauner? During both the Primary and now in the Big Show, Rauner dodges the tough questions. His interviews with reporters go something like this

Reporter: Mr. Rauner, as governor will you support a legislative attempt to rescind gay marriage?
Rauner: Next question.

Reporter: As an opponent of Medicaid expansion in Illinois, will you support its elimination?
Rauner: Time to move on.

Reporter: Can you tell us what critical services to the needy you will cut to reduce taxes on you wealthy base?
Rauner: My spending cuts will be revealed when it's appropriate.

Candidate Rauner is likely not a crook, but when it comes to straight talk, his is about as crooked as it gets.
