Gov. Pritzker’s vice presidential aspirations – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about Gov. Pritzker’s dismal showing in swing state polls for Harris’ VP pick, the latest on the battle over EV battery-maker and CCP-linked company Gotion’s efforts to build a plant in Illinois, the billions in tax dollars lost as residents flee Illinois, and more.

I almost wish Pritzker gets the nod. He would then have the national media asking him questions that the local media avoid. Removing toilets, offshore accounts, IL outmigration, IL pension debt, no limit abortions, IL corruption, etc. I would also wonder about his support for Israel and how the pro Hamas Democrats would react. Vance would hold his feet to the fire since he’s never had to debate an opponent.

I did see JumboBelly participating in the Zoom call last week or whenever it was of the White Dudes for Harris. Judge Brown gives a good breakdown of Harris’ ethnic makeup in this Twitter post. https://x.com/SpartaJustice/status/1816983739047801316

Poor Pritzker. I am sure his goal is to be #1 and a #2 slot is sure a nice stepping stone for the path to his goal. Now however he has a problem as old as mankind itself namely time. . No matter who wins the Presidency my guess is that a lot of Pritzker’s massive tech/ev spending programs, designed to tickle the fancy of the leftists, will have lost their early luster and yielded dismal results. Many of his former “pie in the sky” headlines will become unearthed to be just unrealistic plans coupled with massive spending that generated… Read more »

I remember an hilarious episode of “Seinfeld” where Kramer sold the events and stories of his life to J. Peterman who had none of his own. Perhaps JB could purchase an appropriate personality from someone who doesn’t need theirs and be more appealing than he is currently. Life does imitate art!

Can’t believe people would entertain kackels kamala with what she did to California and the Border…….plus JP who ruined Ill. to be Pres. and VP……..this is like comedy hour!!! If they get installed……..TAKE COVER!! No wonder some of the considered VP’s have pulled out……maybe they take an election seriously

I think it fits her perfectly…

Although I doubt the Culture Club or Boy George would let DJT’s campaign use it…

She’s not even a US citizen. It’s terrifying that the Dems are going to try to install a foreigner into the office AGAIN.

She a US citizen. She has birthright citizenship.

debtsor, I’m not sure you have the right understanding of what “birthright citizenship” means or how it is attained.

Reply to  John

I understand perfectly. She was born in Alameda County, CA. Therefore, she has birthright citizenship. Now if you want to dispute that she is a natural born citizen as required by the constitution, because, her parents were not citizens at the time of her birth, that’s something different. There’s a minority legal argument that says otherwise. But Cathy above said Kalama is not a citizen, to which I replied, yes she is. “Birthright citizenship in the United States: United States citizenship can be acquired by birthright in two situations: by virtue of the person’s birth within United States territory or… Read more »

Debtsor can you cite your source on this? Because your definitions are correct but Kamala fails to fit the definition of either of those situations.

I can’t tell if I’m being baited here LOL

Sources, sources?

Look it up yourself. Her birth certificate is floating around the internet. She was born in California. She’s an anchor baby. Most constitutional scholars agree that birthright citizenship meets the test of ‘natural born citizen’ to be qualified to be POTUS. I’m not engaging in unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.

Do you really believe she was born in California? lol

There’s at least a plausible argument that Obama was born in Kenya given the moving around of his parents during that time. However, his mom was a US citizen and he would have gained her citizenship even if he was born in Kenya. He called himself a foreign exchange in college student to make himself cooler, even though he wasn’t. He was a liar back then just as now.

I haven’t any seen argument that Kamala isn’t an American citizen. If there is an argument, its likely in some obscure corners of the internet, some nonsense somewhere.

Kamala has enough bad policies, bad baggage, bad personality, bad intelligence, bad speaking ability that we don’t need another crackpot “she’s not a citizen”. There is already more than enough negatives about this candidate that a tinfoil hat on top is unnecessary.

Pritzker can’t runaway from his abysmal record as governor of IL – He has made near everything worse. Although the legacy media thinks they can gaslight Democrats to victory, most voters are informed.

“most voters are informed” – not really, their idea of being informed is believing everything on CNN and MSNBC. Talked to one yesterday and she just went on and on with the “Trump said we never have to vote again if he’s elected”. However they do face reality sometimes. She moved out of her Cook County suburban home because the crime was migrating there from the west side and she knows that’s the fault of the Democrats. In addition since she receives government benefits for her son she really doesn’t like the illegals cause she worries it will affect her… Read more »

This is correct, they are informed by those legacy news media that flat out lie to them and create carefully curated fake narratives repeated by every news outlet as if it is the truth. And the problem is that these people don’t even know they are being lied to. They believe these lies. One guy I know in the neighborhood, a fiscally conservative but very socially liberal guy, during the covid-19, said outloud not knowing my vax statuts, “I don’t even want to breathe the same air as the unvaccinated scum”. I mean, that’s insane.

Well, KAmala finished dead last in the only election primary she was ever in and lets face it, the only reason she is there is because the DNC can’t figure out how to get the money away from her. So, she is it. God help us if she is actually elected to be the President of this great Country. From George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, JFK, Reagan….Harris? This has become a popularity contest and everyone wants a seat at the Cool kids table. Hollywood and the media will make sure KAmala looks cool and try to make anyone with… Read more »

He has the ability to self finance if he wants to. Even though Harris is pledged almost $200M now JB spent over $323M just to get the governorship twice. Money is no object to him. Question is will he do it now or 2028?
