I can see Pritzker in the back of the room jumping up and down pick me pick me please. Pritzker your only in the position of the political theater because of one thing and one thing only your families money. Democrats like you for that only, qualified nope, if it wasn’t for money you would be selling used cars.

The earth hasn’t shook yet or I didn’t feel it so JB probably hasn’t been jumping up and down. Maybe waving his hands in the air with a greasy turkey leg in each hand but jumping……now that’s funny.

Shoud JB become VP he would be in the perfect position to prevail upon Kamala to bail out all failing pension funds nationwide. That could be coupled with “forgiving” all student loans. Pushing the federal debt >40T could be her legacy.

The fact that Illinois is 100% guaranteed to support whatever ticket the Dems engineer makes it less likely that JB will be a VP candidate. The Dems are in bad shape and they know it, so they won’t miss the opportunity to flip a swing state by selecting someone who can help them one.

Nope, he wouldn’t have to resign as governor unless/until he actually gets elected VPOTUS. He’s not up for reelection this year so he doesn’t have to choose between running for governor and running for any other position.

Probably mostly self floated with help from the usual IL suspects and few others.

Example #2:

Mark,

Is this the kind of respondent you want, one that chooses denigration over substance? He’s hardly the only such low-life Wirepoints fan.

The remarks show how strongly a persons feelings and views are on issues.
The attempt to restrain such views are not in keeping with free speech within

Let them speak their mind.

The liar Jay Robert makes his move. Illinois will take decades to recover from the toilet bowl kings screw ups.
Please do not use his prefix JB he does not deserve this to try and make him sound more important, he is NOT!

Stop using his moniker ‘JB the Hutt’? Unthinkable.

You could call him Baron Harkonnen if you want to make him sound really important. Fun fact: “Dune” author Frank Herbert picked the name “Harkonnen” out of a California phone book because he wanted a harsh, “Soviet” sounding name (it’s actually Finnish) for his antagonist character.

He’s not really being mentioned as a serious contender other than in a handful of articles in passing. There’s several people higher up on the list than him without the intersectional baggage (religion, girth, wealth, gender). The party has gone crazy over Genocide Joe and then they’re going to nominate a joosih pro-israel VP? Come on! That’s malarkey.

LOL listening to Ben Shapiro right now, he says there is ZERO chance they will nominate a joosih candidate for VP given the massive anti-semitism problem in the Democrat Party…He claims that Democrat members of the house have all said the same thing in private and CNN has essentially said the same too.

At least they stand firm on their principles, no matter how abhorrent!

The best he can hope for might be a Cabinet position in the next Democrat Administration.

Make sure Newsmax and Fox have data on Pritzker scandals in advance:
Gotion
Jenny Thornley
Improperly low property assessment
Superior Bank
Covid
To name a few

It’s shocking that Pritzker is even mentioned. Do we need Illinois corrupt politics seeping onto the White House? It’s like a cancer!

The White House and DC have been filled with corrupt politics for decades.

This is the Obama Administration II. The first was right out of The Chicago Way and Grifter Joe’s has only gotten worse, since no one is at the helm.

Porky Pritzger anywhere near the White House should strike fear into every person who cares about the future of America
