I mean, sure it’d take a mira…
A survey of 739 likely Chicago voters commissioned by the online Illinois Observer found Rahm Emanuel’s job approval at only 18 percent, with a disapproval rating of 67 percent. Slightly more than half those polled thought the mayor should resign, and nearly 64 percent said they thought Emanuel lied when he said he did not see the Laquan McDonald video during settlement negotiations last spring.
…OK, that’s close enough to one for government work. I mean. Wow. Good God.

You really want it to happen?

I have always favored the ‘reform ‘ ticket : the goo-goos go for it in a big way .
“Maybe we should get us some of that ree-form.”
Who do you hate enough to send to their death that way? Pretty sure the Chicago machine can’t afford to have a Republican find any of the many, many bodies……
The Illinois Combine has plenty of Repubs.

Okay, historical parallel .. remember how the South used to be solidly Dem, but they’d vote for Repubs for federal offices?
.
Think of Chicago (and other urban centers) as a sort of .. developmentally delayed South, circa 1960.
.
There are opportunities for Repubs to endorse *DEM* candidates who hold more conservative positions .. run ’em as “fusion ticket” candidates…
