Billionaire Bruce channels George H.W. Bush

Dreamed it was 1988 and George H.W. Bush was running his racist Willie Horton ad to garner the white racist vote against Michael Dukakis. Woke up and realized it was just my sleeping brain processing the 2014 version of the Willie Horton ad we're being bombarded with by Billionaire Bruce Rauner against a candidate with class and honor: Pat Quinn. Lee Atwater was the lowlife behind Bush's cheap shot. Bush rewarded him by appointing him to head the Republican National Committee for a job well done. Less then two years later Atwater was struck down with a virulent form of brain cancer that killed him in a year. Poppy Bush said Mr. Atwater "practiced the art of politics with zeal and vigor," and added, "I was very proud of him, proud to serve with him." Atwater had a bit of a spiritual awakening before departing and apologized to Dukakis. My question for Billionaire Bruce is: "To get to the mountaintop, how low must you stoop?"
