      Based on thos speech he seems like a stand-up guy! But many of the best people reject running for President...they do not want all the beating they and their family will endure. They don't want to deal with the cutthroat hostile congress critters who are there for their own benefit and won't hesitate to throw everyone else under the bus...including their constituents. That being said, I he does seem like just the kind of guy we need...someone who would put the country's best interests over his own.
      And whether he'd have the name recognition and Party support is another question. But who knows!!.Obama went from a relative unknown (giving a speech at the Democratic conventionpresidentn) to President in an astonishingly short amount of time! Anything can happen!

      Pritzker locked down Illinois and his family went to the open state of Florida.
      Illinois is one of the most corrupt states in America according to its own University of Illinois.
      Democrat politicians go to prison for fraud and bribery and extortion every 6 months, and that includes governors!

    Hi, I live in Australia and first read this in the Guardian news today. I have never heard of Pritzker or the university before but I have to say even though i live a world away I can relate to what he spoke about and as a family man having worked and looking back on my past 40 plus years he is amazingly spot on. It made me think and really realize that life throws very similar curve balls to each and every one of us throughout our lives.. We should all realize we have more in common with each other than we think. The best part I liked was being kind. Great speech by a top bloke. Cheers.

    I wonder why he skipped the war on terror (9/11, ISIS, etc.)? Just straight from Vietnam to Covid.
