"The case for Pritzker is easy to make." However, in a podcast setting, Pritzker "was an amiable but not especially compelling guest. The coin of the realm on such shows is small-talk riffing and discursive, big-ideas bullshitting, and he excelled at neither. He does not have the podcast juice, or at least does not have it yet."

Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
“… He does not have the podcast juice, or at least does not have it yet.”? Yeah, but he has bunches of money that he can “donate” to you to convince you otherwise.
Same way JB “donated” Millions to Black Community Leaders and their initiatives after the JB/Blago tapes came out with Pritzker saying that Jesse White was the “least offensive” Black candidate running for an Illinois office. :-/
Hopefully the odds of him winning are slim.
America’s Worst Governor being the Dems best hope lightens the heart of many a Republican.
The Case for Pritzker is easy to make if you are willfully ignorant of his drawbacks.
He loudly and proudly governs according to what leftists believe His “drawbacks” are the inevitable consequences of following those beliefs. The left needs to learn that they can’t have the ideas without the “drawbacks”.
“The case for Pritzker is easy to make.”
Sure. By desperate Dems who haven’t had to live under JB the Hutt’s gross mal-management of Illinois.
The taxpayers of Illinois beg to differ.
