Solomon cannot get elected Mayor without making the exact same deals with the corrupt JC power brokers that Fulop did. As a councilman, Fulop was exactly the reformist gadfly Solomon is.

I wouldn't say he would not be able to get elected. After all, Fulop became mayor without establishment support.

It's just that if he does get elected and refuses to play within the existing power structures, he won't be able to get anything done because he'll have enemies at every government level.

He was opposed by the HCDO, but made lots of deals with other power brokers like Sandra Cunningham. Deals brokered by seasoned political operative Tommy Bertoli. That's how the sausage is made.
