Insane Chicago is going to elect the guy who ran to the left of Beetlejuice.

Or perhaps, entirely predictable.

Brace for a massive corporate evacuation from Chicongo, eclipsing the one already taking place.

Vallles who lost is somewhat of a moderate guy. The guy who won literally makes AOC look like Pat Buchanan I’m not joking.

Brandon probably won because of all the dummies who had been exposed to all the “Let’s Go Brandon!” signs and flags.
They thought, “I’m going to vote for the one everybody likes, BRANDON !!”

Stupidity knows no bounds...

>> Chicago Mayor Runoff Election Results [Democrat leads] <<

Given that BOTH candidates in the runoff were lifelong, card-carrying Democrats (as were ALL the candidates in the first round election, as well), I'm SHOCKED to learn that a "Democrat leads"

You mean to tell me Chicagoans didn't cast write-in votes en masse for a random, unknown Republican?

Stunning outcome! In other astonishing news, it appears the front runner to be the next Prime Minster of Saudi Arabia is a member of the Saudi royal family.
