She celebrated the anniversary of her inauguration by being openly racist. She's a pandering clown who is in over her head. What's somewhat ironic is that she's been a cop her entire life and she believes that appearing to hate cops is good for her political future.

“We cannot turn away from this truth in this election, putting patriotism ahead of partisanship is not an aspiration —it is our duty.” -Liz Cheney

then you should vote for her

I don't get that is the feeling among even the non (((reagan democrats from the north and south sides))). I assume her opponents will point to yearly labor unrest with CPS, little movement towards the pension crisis, unpreparedness for riot control, lack of solution to non protest criminal activity, Emmanuel level lack of transparency on multiple police incidents and she lost the Bears.

A rich guy from Princeton being smart enough to realize that taking that job is a loser from Day One. Go figure.

Many just stomach him. Except for the guys that used (?) to hoop with him at Lab on Saturdays.

What a couple of pieces of shit.

Arne Duncan is certainly a piece of shit and has been for a long time.

Obama

I never got the impression Obama liked anybody aside from himself.

I don't like these reluctant candidates. It's like he would only jump in on the election if the path was completely cleared for him. He's already pretty old to be making a first time run.

It probably would be pretty much cleared for him if he wanted that. But assuming he just cakewalks to election, then what? How do you fix the City? It seems utterly impossible. It's not even that Lightfoot has set such a low bar that anyone will look good. I don't think anyone can look good after so many years of malfeasance and mismanagement by Daley.

Vallas is a guy who cares about the City and deserves a shot. He's a competent guy. You probably aren't going to find anyone better to take that job. Pretty much anyone else I can imagine running would be doing it strictly from a standpoint of runaway ego.

Assuming everything you say is true....Vallas should know better to even want that job. You can't win.

I think Vallas is truly a civic-minded guy. Probably not as smart as Rahm or Duncan. Maybe not even as smart as Lightfoot. But very likely much more competent.

Vallas was was a complete failure here and his only "success" was turning the New Orleans school system into a charter filled beaurocracy.

And back when I listened to progressive radio he sounded like a waste.

The democrats went from defund the police to denying it to refund the police, smh.

I don't think you are reading his interest correctly. I think it's apparent he wants it. He just doesn't have the fortitude for a tough race. That's why he has been a lifelong back bencher.

I've said it about others as well in the past. A guy like Tom Dart was poised for high office a decade or more ago. He was constantly being recruited but deferred when he saw the competition...unless you believe he always dreamed of being Sheriff for life.

A guy like Obama is the complete opposite. He was underexperienced for just about every office he ran for but he just kept running. As Matt Damon but not the Roman's say "luck favors the brave"
