In reply to the discussion: Sen. Kirk: Re-elect Rahm or Chicago could end up like Detroit [View all]guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)The Sun Times, like the Chicago Tribune, is a right wing paper for our area. I would expect nothing different from either paper. Rahm Emmanuel made $18 million in a very short time as an investment banker. His good friend, newly elected GOP Governor Bruce Rauner, AKA Baron von Carhart for his habit of wearing a Carhart jacket to show he "understands" workers, helped Rahm in his rapid climb to financial success. Rahm is the prototypical DLC Conserva-Dem. He is no friend to working class people.
Rahm is in trouble because he assumed that massive campaign spending could fool enough people in an off-year election so he could win. He will spend the next 6 weeks at countless meet and greet opportunities to try and fool people into thinking he really cares about them. He probably also hopes the voters will forget about all the schools he closed in black and brown neighborhoods.
Way to go Mark Kirk, telling people that the white vote is the right vote.
