I’ll join the chorus of voices. This was a HUGE disappointment.
Young people believe this guy is the real deal. That he’s different.
You have to show he’s as dirty and skilled a politician as any on the scene. The facts deliver. He’s been swimming in the cesspool of Chicago politics for decades. He’s covered with the stuff.
Show how he ruthlessly took one office (destroying others along the way – including children of divorce) only to jump to the next higher one. Manipulating others to take credit for others’ years of work (thank you Emil Jones).
Show how he and his wife (she’s guilty too – the hospital) and political friends (Rezko’s disastrous housing – Grover? Parc) are the worst offenders when it comes to truly caring about the poor. They’re in it for themselves, to fatten their wallets and nothing else.
Show them he’s a phony. There’s plenty of material there.
