Irony, Tim...irony. I’ve been to each of those cities. I have to admit,
though, that indiana is worse.

Odd, people and businesses are leaving Illinois for Indiana (and surrounding states) because Indiana has a better economy and lower taxes not counting jobs.

Harry, you like joblessness, poor economy, and higher taxes?

People are probably being sucked into Indiana by the vacuum created
when they move here.

You never said flyover “areas� it was always fly over “state� and even
flyover “Illinois�. Of course you like Chicago. As long as like Rahm,
you can turn a blind eye to the the ghetto.


I don't like or dislike Rahm. I do like Chicago, and I have for nearly
50 years, as long as I have been visiting there.

I am surprised. Chicago is one of the most segregated cities in the US
but I bet you didn't notice that from your North Shore hotel. Hop on
the Lake Street El and look out the window. Just be sure you don't get
off at the wrong stop. We would miss your comedy.


You keep forgetting i work with organizations that finance and build low
cost housing and have done so for decades

I know you write for them but that doesn't mean you spend a lot of
time there. No doubt the CPD clears out a place so you can get a photo
op but you are not there after dark.

I know how disappointed you'll not be if that piece of **** Trump wins,
but...

Offhand, I see a number of possibilities that will interfere with his
re-election, assuming he hasn't quit or been impeached or imprisoned, or
fallen over dead from a stroke. Any of these possibilities would put a
smile on my face and on the faces of a majority of 'Merikkkans.

Elizabeth Warren
Joe Biden
Kamala Harris
Cory Booker
Kirsten Gillibrand
Deval Patrick
Sherrod Brown
Mitch Landrieu
Steve Bullock


.............

Nobody there looks inviting. None of them. And 80 yr old Bernie doesn?t have a chance either. You look be Trump. You even told people to vote for him.



If the Dems nominate Warren for the 2020 presidential election it will
be a very short election night. Trump would win about a half hour
after the polls close. Warren's popularity only exists among her pals
in Washington and a few ultra liberals in Boston. Overall, nobody here
in Massachusetts has any trust in her.

Cory Booker? He and Deval Patrick are like John Kerry. Been running
for POTUS since they were 17 years old. Patrick isn't really very
popular in MA other than in the highly populated liberal areas in Boston
and the North Shore.

Don't know much about the rest other than Biden but he's too old. Have
seen Harris a few times. Seems smart but again, has swallowed too much
of the DNC Kool-Aide.

Isn't Kirsten Gillibrand one of the nutcases who has joined the
"abolish ICE" crusade? Yup. That will really reign in the votes
among level headed voters.

My preference would be Sherrod Brown or Mitch Landrieu.
But any one of them would do to get that disgrace of a
President out of the White House.
Going after ICE is a big mistake. They're just "following
orders." But that mistake can be easily rectified in the
next couple years. Your opinion as a Trump supporter is
basically meaningless, as is mine as a patriotic Trump hater.
As far as Warren goes, she should buy a DNA test from
Ancestry.com and make the results public. That gets that out
of the way. I am only slightly disappointed that I "myth-
busted" my family myth. She should find out the truth.
Of course I don't know what other skeletons are in the
candidates' closet, but they should all be thoroughly vetted.
In the end, it's all about getting rid of the stain on our
glorious Republic. Out damned spot!



I know virtually nothing about Sherrod Brown or Mitch Landrieu. I'll
do some reading and see if I can learn something about them.

Warren is a fraud. It's beyond me how she has supporters up here.
I don't think I've met anyone who can say anything positive about
her other than hard core Democrats who support anyone with a (D)
after their title and name.

Odd you laugh about iillinois but you sure had your eye on Tammy Duckworth in the elections. Pull out Illinois and all you’ll have a deeper sinkhole.

It figures that an urban dweller like you would blow off the beautiful
parts of a state to embrace the crime ridden, bankrupt, murder capital
of the midwest.



I've been in many parts of Illinois on various campaigns going back to
the 1970s. The part of the state bordering "the lake" is nice. What are
the other beautiful parts of Illinois? Joliet, East St. Louis? Kankakee?

(That's a rhetorical question)

Your problem is you don't get out of the city and don't have a clue
what you would do in a small town out in the country.
You really remind me of people I know from New York City who can't
imagine why anyone would want to go anywhere you couldn't get to on
"the train".


Your problem is that you keep projecting your ignorance into areas in
which you have almost no knowledge. I spent seven years living in and
exploring Kansas and Missouri, with many long side trips into the small
cities and towns of Oklahoma and Nebraska, and shorter trips into Iowa
and South Dakota. I was the AP Bureau Chief, stationed in West Virginia,
with coverage responsibilities for parts of Ohio and Kentucky. I lived
in Michigan for three years and extensively explored the state,
including the UP. Lived in upstate New York and spent lots of time in
dippy little towns there. Lived in Florida for some years, explored a
lot of it. Been to Colorado, Montana, Washington State, California,
cities and towns.

I know enough about "small towns out the country" to conclude I wouldn't
want to live in one. Yeah, I prefer living near a major city, with
first-rate museums, restaurants, doctors, theaters, shopping, schools,
et cetera.

That doesn't negate a thing I said, it just confirms that you do not
have a clue about small town life or are simply too of a citiot to
appreciate it. I imagine if your wife did not enjoy the rural
community you are in, you would be living in an apartment or row house
downtown, next to a Metro stop.

When we lived in Illinois we visited Chicago on weekends
going to museums and even a "speakeasy" place that was fun to visit.
This is back in the early 70's. Probably won't be visiting again soon.


I lived there for 2 summers and a winter (2-3 months at a time). As
long as you understand where you are and where not to go, a young
person can have a real good time there. It is certainly more fun if
you drink tho. ;-)


I'll bet I go into neighborhoods in Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, and DC
that would make a white bread boy like you pee his pants.

Not likely, Remember I grew up in "Souf'ese" DC. Not much scares me.

I remember driving by Cabini-Green many years ago and noticing a lot of
boarded up windows where the brick above and around them was black from
an obvious fire. Sometimes people don't respect gifts that are handed
to them.

I guess we are just smarter than you. I worked nights in downtown Oakland
50+ years ago. Lots of bad areas then also. I was smart enough to stay
out of trouble, and now smart enough to stay out of a lot of neighborhoods
at night.

The only thing he's really concerned about are those "first-rate" doctors. After pumping through 300+ pounds, the old ticker ain't what it used to be.
