Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s deep financial involvement in his state’s U.S. Senate primary on Tuesday has angered potential allies for his possible 2028 presidential bid. Wirepoints’ Mark Glennon on AM560: Why We Need to “Relentlessly” Make the Blue State-Red State Case

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.
The ghost of Carol Moseley Brown is coming back to haunt Illinois!
I absolutely love it when they eat their own. No loyalty! No teamwork! No interest in their constituents! All about them and how much money they can grift while in office!
Saying you need a black woman on the ballot is just DEI and RACIST.
Sadly, all it takes is $30M in campaign ads to win the Democrat senate primary which is the ‘real’ election in a one-party blue state like Illinois.
POS can’t BUY the presidential nomination like he BOUGHT the governorship.
I don’t think he’s buying anything in a race where mail in ballots are counted up to two weeks after the election.
1000% this right here, its truly unbelievable.
On what basis do you say that he can’t buy the presidential nomination?
JB the Hutt’s acolytes will sail unobstructed to victory. Illinois elects its dumbest and Illinois Democrats have slated a full crop of completely putrid political animals.
You summed that up nicely! Couldn’t have said it better myself!
