What Chicago needs is more gun control and higher taxes and a Mayor who knows that drug gangs are merely another form of social justice.

Is there something in the wings we don’t know about?

Rahm’s purse is full, so it’s sayonara.

But institutional Chicago — the banks and others of the financial sector, the foundations and so on — and those who write the big campaign checks, may now see Vallas as the only announced candidate who can run Chicago from day one.

That is the best option??? The guy who runs some of the worst public schools in the US?

I would also suggest a "bullet train", but Chicagoans might take the title too far.

We’re you thinking “Rambo/Liawatha 2020”? Or Rambo/ValJar?

"...and already my heart is full with gratitude,” Emanuel said."

Oh yeah! Old Rahmies heart is full of gratitude all right. He's profoundly grateful that he's getting out while the getting is good. Like the king rat getting off of the sinking ship that is the late great city of Chicago. You actually have to have a little pity on whichever Progressive Libtard Fool they get to take his place. The city will soon be ungovernable and the smart Marxist Rats know when to take a powder. To really put the icing on the poop cake they should select a person of color that will know just the right tone to take to set off the natives on the South side of town and drive out the last of the White Devils. Presto Chango you have Detroit West.

Definitely. Rahm is getting ready for something else. Durban's seat in 2020? Presidential run?

Well, Chicago finances are in horrible shape. I heard their bond rating could be dropping. Rahm has done some unpopular things such as closing and consolidating schools to save money. I hear there is huge pension debt to deal with.

Add it all up, and perhaps Rahm doesn’t want to be there when it gets ugly, doesn’t want to get blamed for things.

The next mayor is going to be a Dem-socialist at this rate.

Great, more refugees from Chiraq flooding into western Michigan. Hopefully enough get picked-off in Gary, In before they get here.

Rahm stood in front of the mirror and said to himself, “Well, I think I’ve done all the damage I can do.” And the rest will be history...

Retiring, running, or preparing to serve his prison sentence?

Exactly! He’s getting out of Dodge, before the whole thing burns down, ‘cause that’s about all that’s left.
