Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel is in big trouble. In the wake of the scandal surrounding his police department’s execution of teenager Laquan McDonald, local columnists have declared that he has permanently lost his grip on the city. More than half of Chicago residents in a recent poll said he should resign. His teary apology for McDonald’s killing got him nowhere.
The mayor of the third-biggest city in America—whose stewardship of Chicago was dire enough before you even got to the police—is on the ropes. He is a former right-hand man to both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, whose wife, you may have heard, is now running for president.
Why isn’t any of this a bigger deal in the 2016 presidential race?
Hillary Clinton—who goes a long way back with Emanuel— has gotten away with saying very little about the crisis unfolding in Chicago. She backed the Justice Department investigation into the Chicago Police Department and said that she continued to have confidence in Emanuel. And that’s about it.

Biden: “ A big f’n deal ?”
Hillary cover up Benghazi Terrorism to get Obama elected.
Because Trump isn't the Republican nominee yet. If anyone else is the nominee, this still won't ever be a big deal.
JMHo
Who will it be this time?
Sounds like it’s a “Vince Foster Momemt” for someone ... soon ...

Lives in a white enclave sends his kids to religious schools, basically his chickens have come home to roost, f*ck him.
Not to worry. Obama will make him a czar of something.
Cruz would have fun with this.
[Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel is in big trouble.]
See, there CAN be good news once in awhile!
I laugh at his trouble. He helped creat this kind of stuff. Then got caught hiding information. Enjoy, Rahm.
I don’t have any pity for you.
Maybe, I’d like to see that but I have my doubts.
Well he learned the fake tears from the best, Bill and Hillary. Of course he should be forced to resign, he's as corrupt as Hillary.
Rahm’s troubles prove that the EXTREME left-wing radical Marxist faction has officially taken over the Democrat Party.
All Democrats, ALL, are corrupt to the core. They are liars who dare not tell the truth about their end game. The rest of the pack are just too f*cking stupid to look at facts instead of emotions. globull warming, gun control no terrorist here.
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”
So Soros’ Co. is paying to encourage 1m foreigners to become citizens to be eligible to vote in 2016. The ‘Progressives’ already have 234 electoral votes. You do the math.
He’s dead, Jim.
He might have survived this had he not apologized.
To the Left, an apology is an admission of guilt.
Is Rahm up for reelection in 2016? It's possible Rahm's problem might tend to suppress or even swing the dem vote coming from the "Chicago Machine".
I doubt it, though it might make it more expensive. Black activists will threaten to leave the plantation, but come election day they always line up to get paid.
Rahm was supposed to handle the Chicago vote delivery apparatus for the Clintons. It looks like the Jarrett/Obama race bolsheviks are going to take it away from him.
