Though I have never been a fan of Rahm, your column makes me think I need to read The Thumpin’, for two reasons: 1) The fecklessness of the Democrats ticks me off, and if Rahm managed to get them going in the right direction, that’s nontrivial. 2) If he really does run for president in 2028, I need to know more about him.
As a Chicago native l often found Rahm as mayor irritating and lackluster. He probably could have won a 3rd term, but he just didn't seem to really like the job.
That said, I would in a heartbeat vote him in as president. I think the bigger stage would suit him, and I think he has the right mix of ethics and ruthlessness to play with the big boys, and do a good job

Agree with Keeler and Brisben. I'm with Rahm too. But he can't win. Too many enemies, especially the Dem left and AIPAC.
