Is Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker running for president?

[lucas80]

In Illinois it's practically a historical fact....

So, you got nothing. Got it. He's a pretty wealthy dude, by the way. He didn't get into politics to scrounge up cash.

You that stupid to really not understand difference of gang, drug and/or criminal related and typically hand gun related shootings vs. people indiscriminately shooting up random strangers at a parade and 10 year old kids in class with assault rifles for giggles? Don’t have to answer, we already know the answer.

Well one of those in your description involves rich white people and the other doesn't. Racist

Sure plenty of politicians over the years have been corrupted in their play to enrich themselves. The Pritzkers however are so flush with wealth, there's little to no incentive to do so.

Progressive media, Majority Report, discusses Pritzker vs Biden. Includes a complete obliteration of Kamala Harris starting at 2:10.


Will This Democrat Primary Biden In 2024?

I suspect that Pritzker may consider it depending on what Biden's approval ratings are next year and how the midterm elections go. One thing that makes a Pritzker primary challenge different than someone else is that with a net worth of over $3.5 billion, he can completely self fund.

I would support Pritzker for president. We’re in a lot better shape now, he has a lot of crap to clean up after Rauner, possibly the worst governor of all time from any state.

This ghoul didn't care for Pritzker's comments after the mass shooting

 

[FlickShagwell]

Oh, I knew what you meant and your false equivalency. You dumb phuqs equate a shooting on the south side of Chicago to a shooting at a school all the time and it just makes you look stupid and racist.

FIFY

WTF are you talking about? He couldn't implement a tax change because he needed to amend the state constitution. It might be ridiculously easy to do that in other states, but not in Illinois. That is the only campaign pledge he made that he hasn't been able to successfully implement. He has brought the state from financial ruin to a balanced budget and being able to implement important infrastructure investments. He has also been able to do these things without cutting the education budget (albeit, he hasn't increased it either, but it's still better than many other states)

Man, Pot is such a valuable tool in reshaping economies for states. Bravo to him. He'll have my vote over any dumb F candidate the Cons put up.

He also got sports betting legalized and is taxing that as well, although I don't know how much money that has brought into the state.

Iowa does that and I can do it from my La-Z-Boy (which is good and bad). I assume Iowa taxes that? Still pisses me off CR doesn't get a casino. 2nd largest city in Iowa and can't get the nod. Let's put one in Emmetsburg though.

I have no idea what systems Iowa is using for it. It might also be the onsite betting at stadiums as well.

He was speaking in Florida recently

GOP is ‘naked and afraid,’ J.B. Pritzker says at Florida Democrats’ Leadership Blue Gala

The strategy for the GOP, he said, is division.
