Newsome + Pritzker (we can flip flop on who should be at the top)

is the way forward.


Both can say they took on Trump
Newsome runs a top 5 economy in the world
Pritzker has done great things for Illinois and raised the standard of living there


Both are proven in various ways.

Anyone that cried for Kirk is suspect.


He is, among plenty of other reasons. But I'm done with being idealistic when it comes to presidential elections. None will ever be perfect so the lesser of two evils it is, for me at least. I've seen too much damage that can be done when handing the keys to a rethuglican out of spite this last decade or so under trump.

I dont disagree, however Newsome is one of few that seemingly knows how to push back and stand tall.

His crying for Kirk needs to be scrutinized though, also weird when his son was a fan of his.


Two massive red flags that he needs to speak to.


Still think he and Pritzker are the best option going forward

Gavin sounds like whatever he thinks will play at the time. I appreciate the fact that he's one of the only guys swinging his nuts around right now (he was 100% right about the gerrymander stuff, for instance) but lets be real. It's easy to see through him and his biggest advantage right now is that he can curate how people see/perceive him. He's not out there every day making headlines because there is no race/election going on. That changes when he's forced to campaign in Iowa or attend debates in early 2027. At that point the carefully crafted shyt goes out the window and people are met with a guy who has had more power than most governors over the last 8 years and hasn't really done anything with it. Especially compared to his predecessor, arguably one of the best governors in American history.

He could have taken on the state's anti-housing insanity but didn't until it became a major focus nationally. He could have taken on the homeless issue but didn't until it became a major right wing talking point he couldn't ignore. He could have done all types of shyt but didn't. Now he wants to veer between being a truth telling everyman and competent leader who gets shyt done and....is he either?
