jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 28/09/2026yeah i am reasonably sure that i have a better chance of winning the democratic primary for president than rahm emmanuel@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social@jakemgrumbach.bsky.socialWhenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far).

New Jersey Liberal Premier @njstopwonk.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netHow is he gonna get over the fact that *everyone* hates him. Even moderates, even centrists, who is his base? And does he really think he can win a primary against people like Kamala or Newsom through money alone. He can ask Steyer how that went 1340
jeblucas.bsky.social @jeblucas.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netRahm will struggle when he learns “look just give me the fuckin’ money” isn’t the message big donors want to hear. 180

mrg / greg v goebel / NAFO @gvgoebel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.net*Oh the SHADE!* But not wrong, either. Latest poll: Kamala top Dem candidate at 29%. Newsom at 12% -- that's what he gets for his sharp-right veers. Pete at 9%. 010

BygoneBegotRisk @bygonebegotrisk.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netI find it odd that with all of the fascinating things going on in the Democratic Party in 2026 the New York Times has chosen to devote resources to a long expose on... Rahm Emmanuel (with comments turned off) 030
Jeff Norman @jeff2ffs.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.net"Message" is a verb meaning "lie plausibly." So yeah. 060
Auntie Beak @auntie-beak.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netBecause the base is just crying out for a smarmy elderly centrist politician. 1444
Brendan @bpdiamond.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netYou'd at least have a constituency. Who besides Democratic Party consultants has either a) a positive view of Rahm, or b) any idea who he is? I get the cases for AOC, Ossoff, Pete, JB, etc. What argument can Emanuel possibly make that vaults him above them + Harris and maybe Newsom? 1151

Bonesito @bonesito.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netHeard an interview with him a while back and my takeaway was that he wouldn’t win but could prob do a good job of elevating his pet issues and now for the life of me I, someone who affirmatively chose to listen to him, can’t remember what his pet issues were… seems like therein lies the problem. 2220

andrea-buehman.bsky.social @andrea-buehman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netWorst possible option at this point in time, with all the wrong credentials. Read the room, Rahm. 010
The Dapper DM @jarrettsullivan.com · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netThe rhetoric is so distasteful as well. Big boomer talk that doesn't resonate with anyone under 50, maybe 60? It's the same nonsense Cuomo used in his pathetic mayoral campaign. 110
Andre Green @andregreen.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netI have a better chance of being the *REPUBLICAN* nominee, much less the Democratic one than Rahm does of being the Democratic nominee. 000

Kats Peterson @katskitchen.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netThe only tiny sliver of satisfaction would be to see him drummed out on his ass with less than 1% in a primary. 000

Pedro Sandoval @pedro-sandoval.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @jamellebouie.netHe's aggressive enough, but not progressive enough & too abrasive. Mamdani's progressive, aggressive & smooth. Sayed's progressive, aggressive, mostly smooth, but at times abrasive. I voted Sanders in the 2016 Primary, but I knew he was probably too abrasive to win. That's my 2 cents worth. 010
