I would hope that Pritzker would consider taking a leadership role in the shadow cabinet that the Democrats better get organized, and soon.

Only vacationed in Maine, but "I'm a Mainer", too. The clip of the governor standing up to T**** was priceless. Why doesn't Senator Collins have that kind of backbone?

My governor (MA's Maura Healey) probably wishes she could give a speech that powerful. Pritzker's oratory should be put verbatim on the front page of the Boston Globe, as an object lesson.

If only there were more members of Congress willing to take a stand. And I’m not talking about the Democrats.

I tried to watch the video, but I abhor seeing or listening to that man. 😠

He's pretty impressive, and perhaps he can lead the Democratic governors, but I'm not sure I'd want another billionaire in the WH. Maybe he can prove that $Billions don't have to be made at the expense of others.

The Pritzkers aren't a bad crew as billionaires go which admittedly isn't too far, most of their money came from decent real estate investments that supported pretty good hotels and they turned over management to people who largely knew what they were doing and let them do it. My initial doubts about J.B. were based on not having much reason to expect the kind of performance he's delivered.

I can see President J.B. much better now than when he was first elected.
