Rahm Emanuel...for President...?

Would [Hillary] run? Maybe, if her health and vigor remain strong. But is she holding a place for someone else? Could be. The take-away suggestion: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is seriously being groomed as a White House contender.

(snip)

It would be ironic and fascinating if the pair ended up opposing each other in the 2016 race.

Meanwhile, it is interesting to note that Mr. Emanuel is now being showcased in CNN’s gritty new weekly documentary series “Chicagoland,” which is produced by Robert Redford and began Sunday.

(snip)

"Chicagoland"? That's the crime corruption capitol of Amerika, isn't it? And Emanuel's record there hasn't been exactly stellar.......schools, city hall corruption, taxes, the South Side shootings, crime, etc.

I can't see Rahm as a serious contender. He has pissed off liberals with his war on unions, even though he is only doing part of what is needed to stave off the wolves at the door.

Yeah, not likely to happen.  He's too far to the right of center to please many too many of the hard-core moonbats.  But I would never say never, this is politics after all.

At best he would be a sacrificial lamb on the Hillary altar, just token choice for the Democrats.

Seven years ago I couldn't see Obama as a serious contender either.

I would like to see his family ties in Irgun come to the surface, as much as they could with a DNC-controlled media, in a national setting, though..people would still probably sit there thumbsucking while this parade of anti-American turd's procession, into the highest levels of office, continues unabated...

None of which will be mentioned by the press. Its not a scandal if they don't report it.

You never know. It is after all 2014 and back in 2007, everyone thought Hillary Clinton would be running for President in 2008. She would be the one. Guess what? Barack Obama came and he ran and won in 2008. Anything can happen.

Emanuel is just a place holder for the dhims in case something comes up in Hilarious' baggage that would make her a loser. Past scandals? Health? Age?

He has the personality and charm of a rabid badger, there is no way in Hell he would be a viable candidate...it would be all of Hitlery's personality flaws squared, and without her 'in' with the E!/Oxygen/Lifetime/Oprah constituency.

What I got from that....he isn't giving them enough free stuff and he's forcing the crime to move out of the city by doing away with their cheap housing.
