I like J.B. Pritzker, but a morbidly obese man is not going to get elected president in this era. No, it's not fair, but it's just the way it is. In a presidential campaign, his overweight frame would drown out all the messaging and suck up all the attention from the lame-ass news media we have in this country. The late-night comedy show jokes would just write themselves. I'm sorry, but I want to win, even if it means having to not be politically correct when selecting a nominee. Wish it wasn't this way.

Sorry JB is great. We have a morbidly obese president right now. And that’s the best thing I can say about the current occupant of our White House.

He’s been a good, clear, strong voice. I would like to see that continue.
