By taking himself out of the running for a third term as governor next year, Pritzker could position himself as a leader with big ideas rather than an official forced to explain why Illinois keeps losing taxpayers and businesses.
"He’s a bold presence in a party that often seems hesitant to wield power as aggressively as the GOP. But his record in Illinois is also a liability. If he runs again, he’ll be forced to defend an ugly reality: Illinois remains a state with some of the highest taxes in the country, a poor business climate, anemic job creation and an ongoing exodus of companies, wealthy residents and middle-class families. That’s not the kind of resume a presidential hopeful wants."

The dilusional continue to march on.
If they can make maxi-size diving gear, Prickster could be useful as a plug to prevent Lake Michigan from draining into the subsurface.
Waddle, not march.
He reminds me of Chris Christie. Can’t control his appetite. yet wants to be President of the US and tell us how to live our lives.
Problem is today we have television. President Taft probably wouldn’t have been elected if people had seen exactly how obese he was.
I’d say that he needs to bid adieu to about 3500 calories a day first.
I’d forgotten that the capitol of Illinois is Springfield. That explains a lot. The dude is like a cartoon character.
If they both showed up at a Golden Corral at the same time it would look like Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.
You’ll still see “Pritzker Sucks” signs all over the red part of Illinois. Even the democrats don’t bother stealing them.
makers fleeing and takers flooding in puts increasing tax burdens on the remaining makers, thus causing even more makers to flee: the very definition of an economic death spiral ...
No kidding. Fat slob white guy to get the rat nomination? I think not. Now if he was at least gay, that would be different. If Mrs Pritzker is willing to make an accommodation, he’d be in
Sure… the American left wants an oligarch for president. A jumbo elephant who can’t even manage one state, or his appetite, to be in the most important office in the world? Not gonna happen.
He's one more for the long list of indictments Bondi should be looking into.
Yeah him and kamala on the ticket
Puke
I think Tim Walz has a better shot that Prickster.
He has been a miserable governor who hiked taxes on gasoline and spent like mad. Pritzker also used his wealth to buy both of his gubernatorial elections. He massively outspent his opponents.
He paid 46 million of the family fortune to buy the governorship. Since then our state has been a disaster. If he ran for president he may not have enough money.
Vote for Pritzker, might as well vote for Harris. I’m not certain which would be worse. Voting for Pritzker would give Illinois residents a break, maybe. With Harris, it would give California residents a break, maybe. It’s pretty much a loser either way, except for Illinois maybe. If either of them got elected president it’s a sure loser for the whole country.
Pritzger is classic billionaire bubble money delusion.
The truth is, Gruesome wouldn't throw Chubby so much as a Dept of Transportation (whatever is left of it) bone.
