"Two credible presidential campaigns launched from Chicago would inevitably put the city into the center of the national conversation, and the history of the rise of Barack Obama teaches us that we always do better when we land there, even if dirty laundry inevitably gets aired.... Today’s Chicago must fight against decline and marginalization. Those are the greater enemies than any local skeletons in a politician’s closet."

Rumor has it that JB’s private polling re support outside of Illinois is not great. He is hard, hard left. He is short and fat which doesn’t make for great visuals. And in too many states– even battleground states– it is not a popular position to have “fight the President” as your battle cry.
Rahm is smarter, and much more moderate. But when he gets broader exposure and his rotten personality becomes exposed, he will drop like a rock in polls also.

Credible ? A bully with a penchant for ballet run out of office for trying to hide a police shooting and a Marxist moron trust fund baby? That’s some chronic weed being burned in the newsroom at the Trib!

JB must be convinced had can win a third term, I’m not as sure.
He loses the Governor race, not only the presidential is over but so is his career in politics.
JB MUST be defeated!

Two terrible choices for da Dems.
If Pee Wee Herman were still alive he would be a better choice!!
I couldn’t agree more. The race would put the spotlight on all the failures in Illinois and Chicago, which would be enormously educational for both Illinois and the nation.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
