She is giving her concession speech now.
Vallas must bring to mind the good old days when the Daley machine ran everything and the whole city was corrupt but safe.
Having Brandon Johnson as the other runoff candidate will open up the opportunity to cheer him on, the slogan is already there for the taking...
What? With 16% of precincts left?
No miracles for Groot?
“ Vallas must bring to mind the good old days when the Daley machine ran everything and the whole city was corrupt but safe.”
The mob took their 20% and everything ran like clockwork.
It will be interesting to see where the democrats promote her to next.....................
There’s some sanity left in Chicago. Good riddance to Beetlejuice.
GREAT NEWS!!!
A crack in the clouds?
