Should President Trump describe himself as a proud white heterosexual?!

That would be bigoted, anti-homosexual hate speech.

Chicago is controlled by drug lords. Do you really think they let the gangs shoot it out in the streets for any other reason?

NEW BOSS!!! SAME AS the OLD BOSS...

My spin is:

Meet The New Boss, Worse Than The Old Boss (if you can believe it!)

Chicago's decline will really accelerate now. Is this a female version of David Dinkins?

Chicago's elite, you got what you voted for - now get ready for tax and spend, worse government, moar graft, moar crime, you name it.

May God have mercy on her immortal soul.

She is walking into hell, a den of malicious inequity.

The candidate of Madison/Milwaukee is up 52-48 with 59% in. I didn't need to know names nor party affiliations, the geographic returns reliably say I want Mr. 48 to catch and pass.

Yep, either way would have been an awful marxist dictator. Chicago was screwed in the runoff. Actually, they were screwed in the first round as well, hence the dismal turnout in THAT election.

I voted in the Crook County suburbs today for our local offices. Turnout was also dead here. Of course every race on the ballot was uncontested so people just can’t get excited about re-electing an incumbent with no opponents.

What does she think of Juicy Fruit’s fake hate crime and getting away free as a bird?

Her city. Her problem. She owns this mess.

600? That's not even 2/3 of hizzoner Richard J. Daly's 1974 record of 970 (per heyjackass.com).

But I'm sure she'll give it the old Stalinist try.

Because Chicago was tired of Baltimore, St Louis, Detroit and New Orleans winning the per capita murder race. In 2 years they shackling of Chicago law enforcement will see murders top 1000.

Chicago is such that the people there are almost lucky that anyone wants the job. Then again, is Rahm any the worse for wear?

Too late for that now. You think Chicago’s white mayors were a disaster? You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

That seems to be true in most places now. Productive people want nothing to do with running for office, so they leave it to those like these people who actually want the job. That's the number one thing that is killing this country. White Flight from Government!

I fear they’ll invite almost anything in there except Christianity. Christianity will get the round boos.

A government that invites corruption then threatens to “gotcha” anyone who dares step out of line.
