Sean Morrison (Cook County Commissioner, Republican)

The thing about politics is that we have very short memories, but people don't remember who the big culprit was, along with the then Governor Blagojevich. It was J.D. Pritzker that was trying to buy the U.S., the Barack Obama vacated U.S. Senate seat. There is copious hours of undercover tape because it was all taped by the government. Plagojevich went to jail for it. But it was J.B.

Pritzker who was on the other side of that phone negotiating to buy it, to buy the U.S. Senate seat back then. People need to take a look and remember that. That was some interesting dialogue. He disparaged the minorities. He disparaged African-Americans. I'm talking about Governor Pritzker did. His own words. Go back and review some of that tape. It would be very surprising.

So what do you know, Vince, as far as Durbin himself, 44 years, 44 years between U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate. And what does the state of Illinois have to show for it? Much further in debt, much bigger bloated, terrible infrastructure in our roads and bridges. Mental health again was gutted. Veteran home was gutted. He's a U.S. Senator and Tammy Duckworth is still there.

What have they done for the state of Illinois? What have they done for the residents of Illinois? When he announced, you should have seen the local media. It was as though the Pope himself said that he was going to step back.

all platitudes all platitudes and i said hey that's great 44 years but what have you done in those 44 years yeah so if we're going to just put the same ideology the same the same preset into a new senator what's the point nothing's going to change so okay last one on this what are the chances that a republican can actually prevail because last time illinois had a republican senator was mark kirk uh what what are the chances that a republican here could take that seat do you think it's possible

As it pertains to Illinois, it's a great question because there's two ways. We've had mass gerrymandering. In fact, there's a current lawsuit going on. But gerrymandering really affects our state house, our state senate, and our U.S. Congress. A lawsuit was filed with the federal court six weeks ago. I have very high hopes that they're going to change that.

But as it pertains to statewide offices, here's another interesting thing. And I'll tie Governor Pritzker to that as well. Governor Pritzker in Illinois politics has spent roughly about $600 million of his own wealth. on his own races, on trying to defeat those that were running in the Republican primary two years ago against him.

Governor Pritzker in Illinois politics has spent roughly about $600 million of his own wealth. on his own races, on trying to defeat those that were running in the Republican primary two years ago against him.

He spent nearly $75 million alone to knock out strong candidates that could challenge him. And he spread the same amount of money around throughout all many different local races, senators, state reps, all that kind of stuff in Illinois. So nearly just under $600 million of his own money, okay? Donald Trump has never spent a penny in Illinois because it's a flyover state.
