The Chicago mayor has raised questions once again about his limitations.

The issue this time is his reaction to the Bring Chicago Home initiative, which was a campaign promise to address homelessness in the city. This initiative after legal wrangling about its ballot legitimacy was rejected by Chicago voters.

Johnson suggested after this vote that ethics rules prevented him from prevailing and that his signature issue had been defeated by Trump supporters. He also promised to proceed with his progressive agenda of investing in individuals.

Johnson’s reaction is understandable, and even predictable. It also attests to his limitations as a politician and even a person.
