(146,288 posts)not "RHAM." Now, I could be wrong, but that's based on a little thought. Whether either candidate calls for anyone in Illinois to resign is irrelevant. The primaries are not about Rahm Emanuel. They are about something else. Do not expect either candidate to call for his resignation. It's not going to happen.

(146,288 posts)The primary is not about Rahm Emanuel. Therefore, it will not be brought up by either candidate.
As I understand it, he was duly elected. The people can unelect him. Neither candidate is going to call for his resignation.

(388 posts)This primary is all about crappy corporate Democrats like Rahm. his ilk are disgusting and they need to go. Hillary is made of the same mold.

(146,288 posts)My comment is about the primary candidates, neither of whom is going to make any suggestion that Rahm should resign. I assume you live there. Campaign against him the next time he runs. He may be your mayor, but that's all he is.

(146,288 posts)I can't imagine that Bernie Sanders would go on the attack against Chicago's mayor, for pete's sake. Why would he bother with such a thing. He called for a governor to resign, but that's another level altogether. Even a big city mayor is not someone worth attacking by a presidential primary candidate.
It simply won't happen. It's just an attempt to tie Clinton to Rahm Emanuel, and that's a waste of time, too, even in Illinois.

(58,785 posts)Rahm's resignation out of nowhere did make me laugh, though.

CreekDog
(46,192 posts)do you think Sanders needs you to lie in order for him to win?
because you just did.
We owe it to the families of young men, like Laquan McDonald, and the other names we know all too well.

(30,481 posts)Let's see if Clinton agrees with Sanders on something I just know he is going to say.

(146,288 posts)Since it will not occur, in the first place, it's just an attempted slam at Hillary, based on nothing substantial at all. It fails on all counts.
