This is what I generally thought when it got announced originally. Beyond using the airport....I’d have no desire in entering the county or city....nor going to any game of the Cubs, Bears or Bulls. Watching some nightly walk by cops on patrol and having ambulance drivers discuss how they saved so-and-so from a shooting death....there’s just no interest in this for me.
Beyond the city limits....I doubt if CNN has more than 400,000 people nationwide that view the show on a regular basis, and that really doesn’t pay for real advertising (my humble opinion).
I think Rahm has some idea that he can pull enough numbers to be VP or attorney general. So this is a game to show his strength. Frankly, it’s a comical effort and he’s a marginal executive if you view all the problems that Chicagoland is demonstrating.
