Some facts of Chicago:

The area’s recorded history begins with the arrival of French explorers, missionaries and fur traders in the late 17th century and their interaction with the local Potawatomi Indians. There were small settlements and a U.S. Army fort, but the soldiers and settlers were all driven off in 1812.

The Cook County suburbs grew rapidly after 1945, but the Democratic party machine kept both the city and suburbs under control, especially under mayor Richard J. Daley, who was chairman of the Cook County Democratic Party. Deindustrialization after 1970 closed the stockyards and most of the steel mills and factories, but the city retained its role as a financial and transportation hub. Increasingly it emphasized its service roles in medicine, higher education and tourism. The city formed the political base for national leaders of the Democratic Party, especially Stephen A. Douglas in the 1850s, Adlai Stevenson in the 1950s, and Barack Obama in recent years.

Emanuel and Clinton, who grew up in a nearby Chicago suburb, have reportedly had their differences over the years. Clinton played a key role in Emanuel’s demotion during his time in the Clinton White House. And early in President Obama’s time in office, Emanuel, then serving as the president’s chief of staff, was the one to tell Clinton she couldn’t hire Sidney Blumenthal, her longtime political confidante, as an aide at the State Department.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders rolled out campaign ads in Illinois this week that are sharply critical of Chicago mayor — and longtime Clinton ally — Rahm Emanuel.

Emanuel was a top official in former President Bill Clinton’s administration and also served as President Barack Obama’s first chief of staff. In 2014, Emanuel announced his support for what was then a potential presidential campaign by Hillary Clinton.

In December, Sanders said he does not care about winning Emanuel’s support in his bid to become the presidential nominee.

“If the question is do I want or need Rahm Emanuel’s support for president, with all due respect to the mayor, no, I don’t,” Sanders said then.

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre

Gang warfare ruled the streets of Chicago during the late 1920s, as chief gangster Al Capone sought to consolidate control by eliminating his rivals in the illegal trades of bootlegging, gambling and prostitution. This rash of gang violence reached its bloody climax in a garage on the city’s North Side on February 14, 1929, when seven men associated with the Irish gangster George “Bugs” Moran, one of Capone’s longtime enemies, were shot to death by several men dressed as policemen. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, as it was known, was never officially linked to Capone, but he was generally considered to have been responsible for the murders.

So you can see what a ‘hot bed’ of politics are being played here in Chicago, and the name that Chicago supports...it’s no wonder that there was such an ‘outbreak’ last night, both Sanders and Clinton knows if Trump gets a strong hold in this city, they would be knocked out of the running, and they couldn’t possibly have that..

And then there is Ted Cruz now being hugged by the Bush Clinton Crime Familys:

You can now see how all this works together, hand in hand, glove to glove...
