If the Democrat’s political machines are ancient history why are 45 out of 50 wards in Chicago predominately Democrat?
Because Chicago is predominantly Democrat? I don't see how this correlates to Democratic "political machines".
The wards were run by Democratic political bosses. If your ward didn't vote for and contribute to the machine your ward didn't get services from the city. The snow wasn't plowed, the garbage wasn't picked up, the police & fire departments were slow to respond. Then to get a job with the city you had to vote for and contribute to the machine. If people do that for 70 years or so it becomes a habit. That is why 90% of the wards became and stayed Democrats.
The state can never straighten the crooked timber of humanity. I'm a conservative because I question authority. Conservative Revolutionary
