Not to be rude but can go out to Halloween parties as Bettlejuice without the need for make up or costume.

This should have a significant impact on the runoff:

 

For those who aren’t familiar, White is the closest thing you can find to a consensus candidate in our polarized environment. 
 

In his last election (2018), he won 68% of the vote in an election where the Dem governor and AG candidates each won 55%. The next closest statewide candidate that election was the Comptroller who won with 60%.

White carried a lot of downstate counties that are equivalent to the upstate and western counties of NY. 

 

He’s recently retired but this is a significant endorsement for Vallas. 
 

Here’s how the state voted for Governor in 2018:

 

And here’s how it voted for Secretary of State (Jesse White’s race):

Even After a Historic Landslide Defeat, Lori Lightfoot Doesn’t Seem to Realize It Was All About the Crime.

Wonder how the “it was all about the crime” narrative is going to go if Johnson ends up beating FOP-endorsed Vallas.

 

If only someone had pointed out that it was more complicated than that…

Chicago deserves what they vote for.  
 

Vallas was their chance.  Good luck.

So, Chicago voters are smart because they got rid of Lightfoot because of crime but they are dumb because they didn’t vote in Vallas because of crime?

 

Is that where we are? Everyone was so certain about the facts on the ground here a month ago…

Lightfoot was toxic.

 

Many thought they’d actually vote to, attempt, to have a safe city.  Silly us .. hope it works out.

No he's saying Chicago voters are stupid and deserve what they get.

The national ratio of cops to population is 2.4 officers per 1,000 people, but in Chicago, we have 4.7 officers per 1,000 people.

 

If more cops was the solution to crime, Chicago would be the safest city in the country.

It’s not all about cops, but it is about DA’s and politicians allowing them to effectively do their jobs.

Chicago has been under complete control of democrats forever. Is there something in their governance that just doesn’t work?

Well, it only ended the machine like a decade ago. Since then, the city’s been going through a lot of changes with different constituencies valuing different things and vying for power. 
 

One of the major problems is that Chicago borders Indiana and is fewer than a three hour drive from Wisconsin. Those states are funneling guns into the city that are being used for crime. There isn’t much a mayor can do to fix that. 

It’s been a national punching bag for gun violence, but actually has a much lower homicide rate than cities like New Orleans and St. Louis. Some years, the homicide rate is within a point or two of Buffalo, but it’s a bigger city so the raw numbers look worse. 

 

Additionally, until recently, the state was run very poorly. In addition to the Chicago Machine, there was a Springfield Machine under Speaker Mike Madigan that was in effect until a couple of years ago. Madigan is now on trial for corruption and bribery. We also kept having governors go to jail. There was a famous clip years ago that you had a higher percentage chance of going to jail if you were the governor of Illinois than if you committed murder. 
 

The previous governor intentionally tried to tank the state’s finances to the point where his own party revolted and secretly negotiated a bipartisan budget behind his back. 
 

Because of all of that, Chicago couldn’t rely on the state for help when it needed it. 
 

Despite that, I think the city is actually doing pretty well despite its challenges. It was actually voted Best big city in the country for the sixth year in a row. The neighborhoods are great, the people are friendly, and the food is incredible. 

 

Take it from someone who lives there, life here isn’t anything like what you see on the national news. It’s actually a great place to live. I’m fairly optimistic about the future. 
 

Come visit some time. You’ll love it!

I want all the receipts from leftists here saying the Democrats have not moved left.  
 

It is as laughably stupid as their policies on law enforcement, economics, and biology claim otherwise.   
 

 

How you can be a white personal in 2023 and be told by someone that white supremacy is the problem, and not have that be an insult to your intelligence and everything this country has stood for - you’re one of the worst humans on the planet.  
 

Let alone have it be an excuse for why Blacks are murdering blacks every day in majority black Chicago - only 36 percent of the city is white.  
 

 

The policies this moron supports are the result of Black leadership failures.  They just can’t take accountability.  It’s going to still be the White persons fault.  And Trump.   
 

Now the school policies and tests the very liberal and Democrat NEA has supported for decades are white supremacy.  They apparently agree - indicting themselves as racists.  That’s freaking hilarious.   

 

You can btw, support less resources in law enforcement - but you have to preach PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY in order to raise respectful well behaved intelligent and responsible children.  
 

How’s that working out America home of non existent genders and standards that by design leave our young men of all races and ethnicity feeling toxic and useless - I can’t imagine why.

Insanity personified, we’ll watch Chicago crash and burn more and more everyday, yet the liberals will sit there and wonder why it’s happening and vote another leftist into office. They are insane, get out of the cities. Let them burn, what else can you do? Can’t talk any sense into them.
