Newsflash: Yes, Chicago is a mess. Speaking from personal experience, so is Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco.
Let's move on. Maybe we can save the day.
EVERYTHING President Trump does or says from here till election day is going to be called "disqualifying." Every [valid] criticism he makes of U.S. foreign policy, Big City corruption, military unpreparedness, etc., etc. is going to be labeled insane and/or treasonous by MSNBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, N. Y. Times ....well, you know the list. I saw this tactic up close the entire time I was a prosecutor. The Public Defender would assign every statement I made as "misconduct" ---and call for a mistrial twice a session. I found the only way to deal with this was to call it out in advance --- warning the jury they'd be exposed to a litany of complaints from the beginning to end of the trial. The time is NOW for Trump to begin pointing this out at speeches and rallies --- he needs to alert his base to the fact every television interview, every debate appearance, every one of his defense briefs is going to result in fresh charges and a new round of calls for him to step down . If he can educate his voters to this tactic STARTING NOW he can blunt it. We all know his critics already have written the reviews of his coming debate performance ["confused, angry, terrifying"] --- voters need to be forewarned NOTHING they see in mainstream media over the next 2 years means a damn thing. It's time to focus on what they themselves see and hear ...and make up their own minds. No pretty boy or girl anchor's opinion means diddly.
My entire life I’ve considered Chicago my hometown, even though I’ve lived in the surrounding suburbs. I’ve spent so much time in the City. I Love Chicago. To see what has happened to it, is heartbreaking. I’ve traveled to other big cities and still I Love Chicago. Sadly, I haven’t been there for quite some time, it’s to dangerous and I never thought I’d say such a thing about my hometown. I’m hoping to make it back by the end of the year. I have high hopes.

The magnificent mile now has a 30 percent vacancy rate.
Thanks Steve - Chicago’s descent must be difficult for you to watch.
By the way, anybody seen the Obamas on the Southside bandaging the racial wounds?
