If Donald Trump really intends to punish his enemies and reward his friends now that he, gulp, has all the power in the land, I think we should consider moving to the 54th precinct of the 19th Ward.
That’s the very same number of votes that I got from that west-side precinct.
In this case, I was in step with Chicago. Hillary Clinton won about 84 percent of the Chicago vote, while most of the rest of the country was igniting the Trump revolution.
So perhaps the pro-Trump tally was a classic case of a Chicago white backlash vote.
In 2012, Romney got 148,181 votes, or 14.5 percent of the Chicago vote. Trump got 132,308, or 12.5 percent.
Guess things are really looking up for Republicans with black voters.
