Will Rahm Emanuel run for president? New Hampshire bike ride fuels speculation

While Emanuel hasn't made any formal announcement about his plans, his New Hampshire bike ride gave him a chance to introduce himself to the state's notoriously picky voters before the rest of the field swoops in after the November midterms.

Don't think he'll be my candidate. I get the feeling he's willing to step on some vulnerable people to elevate himself and we've historically seen too much of that in the Democratic party.

For example,

“We did things that were really ridiculous,” he said of Democrats on an episode of Couric’s podcast that posted last week. “Rather than worry about classroom excellence, we were worried about bathroom and locker room access.”

He doesn't acknowledge why people get worried about bathroom and locker room access. It's because the right makes an issue of it. Are the Democrats supposed to say, "Oh! Ok, trans people aren't worthy of dignity." Of course not, because that's not what the Democrats are. These issues arise in the course of campaigns because the Republicans use the underprivileged as pawns. Any Democrat not acknowledging this and speaking and acting accordingly isn't going to get my support.
