If Pritzker keeps acting like a boss without actually being one, well, he could end up like the guy he replaced. One term and done.
Illinois Republicans are already mocking the governor for his string of politically embarrassing losses while quietly preparing to skewer Pritzker for what the latest "L" means: Even members of his own party won't give him the power he wants.
Not even at the promise of access to inherited money in Pritzker's piggy bank.
"It shows that J.B. Pritzker has continued to make enemies in the party, and that's no good for the governor or his agenda," state Rep. La Shawn Ford said. "He goes in with knives, and people don't forget feeling the cut. … That's going to hurt his ability to get things done and keep people [in the party] from wanting him to be successful."
