    Jeet Heer Retweeted Corey Richardson

    Rahm Emanuel is, to repeat, an epic failure and his "just get it done" approach was most famously applied to covering up a police murder of a Black teen. Not, maybe, the message Democrats should embrace.https://twitter.com/vexedinthecity/status/1325687282075127808 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Corey Richardson @vexedinthecity
    If you want high speed rail in America, a “just get it done” type guy like Rahm at DOT who will have you from New Rochelle to Boston South in 45 minutes on high speed Amtrak. This isn’t about ideology, it’s about results. https://twitter.com/ballesteros_312/status/1325686477016109056 …

        100%. Democrats really need a clean slate of top end players without this baggage.

        I have no strong opinions about Rahm as Obama’s chief of staff but as a mayor, he was singularly awful.

        Somebody who has successfully wrangled bureaucracies into being more efficient and effective when it comes to building up transportation should be elevated to DOT. Assuming there is such a person, he or she would be a far better choice than Rahm Emanuel.
