All I can say is that when Emanuel started becoming a dick as DCCC Chair to Howard Dean who had a great 50-state strategy vision as DNC Chair, that’s when it was over for me.
Also, Emanuel was possessed the wrong tone as Mayor of Chicago and behaved arrogantly towards teachers unions. He’s likely going to get serious pushback from such unions if he runs for DNC Chair.

No it’s not. Being forced to phase out stop and frisk when it’s politically expedient without leading by principle means Emanuel’s opinions on anything politically mean nothing anymore.

Didn't he support police brutality and/or stop & frisk, too?
Stop and Frisk may have happened under Emanuel’s watch as Mayor.
However, he fought against Trump when he argued stop and frisk should be returned.

OK, quite late, though.
Politically, Emanuel had no choice. However, it shows that he was never an ideal Mayor.
That's no excuse.
