Chicago Tribune: little guy got fed up and thought for themselves.

quote:

---

She had Wall Street and K Street lobbyists, and the former Republican Iraq War planner neoconservatives, and the GOP nevertrumpers, the hedge fund guys. She had everything. She had Obama propping her up. And yet she lost.

Why? Because Trump kept saying "Jobs, jobs, jobs," a phrase once used by former Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago during a campaign.

It used to irk me, this chanting of "jobs." But it was simple. And that's what people wanted then and now. They don't want a handout. They wanted to work and to be left alone.

Yet they were shamed by elites and a relentless barrage of news stories, columns, all illustrating how deplorable they had become.

They finally had enough. Not just the unemployed or the underemployed, but even, to the surprise of the Democratic elites, those with educations. And women and minorities in numbers unforeseen.

And they voted.

This is beautiful coming from a liberal rag organization.

Wait, the Chicago Tribune?

I mean I know every newspaper that has ever printed anything that has criticized a member of the Republican Party is a liberal rag, but I never knew the Chicago Tribune was a liberal rag.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
