Nanook Posted September 4, 2018 at 04:10 PM Share Posted September 4, 2018 at 04:10 PM One can only imagine who will replace him. My goodness, the mind reels. I'm pretty sure whoever it is will be even worse, much like he was worse than his predecessor. There must be more lawsuits coming down the pike, so he's going to take his campaign money and exit, stage left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod Posted September 4, 2018 at 04:20 PM Share Posted September 4, 2018 at 04:20 PM 'He knows that he won't get the black vote so he has no chance of winning. He's a natural born liar and crook and when the going gets tough, he gets going the other way. I never believed a word out of his mouth from time he was obama's dough boy. I told the wife back when he had to face the run-off last time that he was done. Now if I could just get those damn lotto #'s right ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Fife Posted September 4, 2018 at 04:32 PM Share Posted September 4, 2018 at 04:32 PM If Daley comes back he can blame everything on Rahm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipshot Percussion Posted September 4, 2018 at 04:36 PM Share Posted September 4, 2018 at 04:36 PM He's fallen a long way. There was a time when he was thought to be in the running as the VP pick of Hillary Clinton. Imagine a worst case scenario where Hillary wins and Rahm is one step away from ruining -oops, running - this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT is something I've been bitching about since that fool left office. They should take his pension away and charge him with stupidity beyond a reasonable doubt ! He, probably more than anybody else is responsible for Chicago's problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2A4Cook Posted September 4, 2018 at 07:33 PM Share Posted September 4, 2018 at 07:33 PM Little Louie and/or Valerie-NoQualificationsForANYTHINGElected Jarrett are going to be pushed on the hapless residents and businesses of Chitcago. I'd say I don't care which underqualified, tax and spend left wing idealogue it turns out to be, except that every time they screw up, the rest of the state is expected to ante up and bail them out.

Nod Posted September 4, 2018 at 09:05 PM Share Posted September 4, 2018 at 09:05 PM I'm wondering if he's dropping out because if Van Dyke gets acquitted, there will be riots and he can't afford anymore blemishes on his record if he wants to run for something else.

And God help Chicago if the FALN terrorist does get in....or heck anyone else that may jump in.
