Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel advised Democrats to “take a chill pill,” and warned them it’s not going to be a “quick turnaround” when it comes to regaining power in Washington, D.C.
From the Daily Caller:
“It took us [Democrats] a long time to get this low,” Emanuel said Monday at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. “It ain’t gonna happen in 2018.”
Emanuel took a shot at some members of the Democratic Party, blasting them for sometimes taking a position that they feel is morally right, even if it costs them an election.
“Sometimes you’ve just got to win, OK?” the mayor lamented. “Winning’s everything. If you don’t win, you can’t make the public policy,” Emanuel said. “I say that because it is hard for some people in our party to accept that principle.”
