JB Pritzker President Kamala VP

He has kicked ass in IL and he's not afraid of the rich white old men. He gets a glimmer in his eye debating them! He's a winner!

I've lived all over this country and no one is tougher than Chicagoans. We need tougher than nails now.

at his beck and call.

Pritzkers know everything about Trump, and have for 6 decades. I expect he’s a top pick for VP.

we deny Harris the top slot. How do you sell "well, she was good enough to help us win in 2020, but we can't have her as the Presidential candidate." Depressing the minority or female vote is a sure recipe for disaster.
Pick a swing state VP - Kelly of AZ, Shapiro of PA, or one of the popular red state Dem Governors like Beshear of KY or Cooper of NC.

It's an unprecedented shake up, we keep the VP the same, and fill the front end Position goes over easier for the masses.

Biden got ill, and had to be replaced.
Move forward and win against the masses.

JB HAS A PROVEN RECORD OF FIGHTING THESE GUYS!

I'm also a MichDem and have been since 1988. JB was a fantastic POTUS but he just doesn't have the age or energy for another 4 years. NOW we can flip the script on Trumpler....HE'S too old for office and it's an absolute fact.

Joe ran in 2020 without a lot of campaigning due to the pandemic. The landscape has changed! I'm in tears. but we need energy and excitement!
