Rahm The Boss: More Reaction

I checked in with John Lapp, who ran the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee under Emanuel.

"Rahm never stops pushing you and himself. He wants the best," Lapp said.

"And will accept nothing short of it. From those above and below him. He never gives up. One thing that is rarely discussed is Rahm's intense loyalty and friendship. I think he worries it would be seen as a weakness. But he cares deeply for his friends and family. He always had my back. And I had his. I pity the Republicans and Democrats who get in his way. It isn't pleasant. Tough love is who he is."
