Democratic Donors Packed the House for an “Actual Billionaire”

When she introduced Governor Illinois JB Pritzker to launch a series of new speakers in the Center of American Progress (CAP), Neera Tanden – CEO and President Demortic Think Tank – went on his turnout. Looking at the crowd in the palace cap, which collected the place, she exclaimed, “Look – three stories!”

The atrium, which holds the meetings, really stretches three stories at the DC DC headquarters, usually in the center of the city, a glass building containing eloquent testimonies of the Democratic Democratic Democratic Donor database filled the entire available space. Her conversation with Packer’s seat, Tanden Astreised, was “one of our biggest events”, considering both personal and online registration.

But the reaction was not so much in loving the capsa as it was a reaction to its unsuccessful agenda. Even the publicity for the appearance of the Packer gave a gloomy testimony to the failures of the Democratic Party leaders. Own slogan cap – “boldly forward” – myself unhappy echo one of the A lot of slogans of the company “Duda” Adopted by Hillary Clinton in its presidential launch of 2016. However, the Packer’s conversation was called “the best way”, perhaps unintentional recognition that few valuable democratic strategists and donors have the first hint in what direction it could be forward in the current republic of authoritarian desk.

By his credit, the Packer began his comments, subtly abandoning the banner under which the captete called him. “I didn’t see that the title of my conversation was the best way,” he said. “I think about it and I think the only way out is.” His comments were pleased with Plainspaken, unlike the intricate performance of the event, and the broader inclination of the party, these days, the restless reaction to horrify your own shadow. The Packer spoke about how “Elon Musk and his fellow Dago” “intentionally demonstrates” the Baluki government and “give themselves powers to restore it to their advantage.” He sincerely spoke about the strong cruelty of Trump’s White House deportation and the doge attack. “People’s life is a game for them,” said the Packer about “Memelod and the White House”.

Such a rhetoric begins another reason for the overflow at the CAP event: Pritzker is already positioning itself as probable By competitor for the democratic nomination of the president In 2028. Thus, in this shrine, the governor conducted test key conversations and listened to his state gravity in this shrine.

And again, the performance was closely spilled to refer to insider policy, and the depositors of the big tickets that sore them. If the Packer cited his entry in Illinois on reducing college costs and providing reproductive freedom ahead Oak The decision, the crowd broke out, eager applause; When he later asked, in a conversation with Tanden: “Why are we all screaming about $ 7.25 in the county?” The answer was definitely deeper.

This is also at least partially the problem of optics. The sight is perhaps the most famous for his hometown of 2024 a democratic national convention speech where he dressed Donald Trump in terms of “Actual billionaire“Herod Hyatt Hotel Fortune, Packer is obviously located in the” Good Billionaires “camp, recently appointed chairman of the new Democratic National Committee Ken Martin, but a billionaire who is crossing from the fight against working families may refuse Clear Vibration Charles Foster Kane. To be sure, Trump, The Pseudo-Billionaire Pritzker Castigates, uses an arsenal of demagogic bigotry to pose as a people’s tritzker is going to be a populist lead of today’s. Off as a Class Traitor in the Mold of Franklin Roosevelt, who Famously Thundered Derving The 1936 Campaign that he welcomed the hatred of the nation financiers and possession of the class. The closest Packer came to voicing such sentiments when he noted that at the meeting of the CEO named after-the-hand officers, “in fact, they stated that they were afraid to lift their heads, so they would be shot, so to speak Trump’s administration.”

When he posted the agenda for the revived Democratic Party, the Packer emphasized the need for party leaders to expand the virtues of small business-and because they are economic players who absorb most of Trump’s White House tariffs, and because large employers in Illinois, such as Heartland John “Startov”.

It hit me home, but not as the Pachaker planned. John Dir is located with the headquarters in Molin, Illinois, across the Mississippi River from my hometown of Devenport, Iowa, and was far and the largest employer there as a child. Devenport was so destroyed by the 1980s-and massacre of production jobs from outfits as Deere, Caterpillar and already a non-existent international harvester in 1998, which in 1998, in 1998 Currency The magazine called it the worst city in which he lives. Sweet in the fall, Dir announced that he occupies hundreds of more jobs from his works by Moline and other objects, but not under the pressure of transitional economic conditions. Most likely, the company has set up 10 billion dollars profits During the 2023 financial year, which he instantly transformed into $ 7.2 billion into ransom and another $ 1.4 billion in shareholders’ dividends. This step is really pushed Trump to threatens the campaign 200 percent tariffs Last year, the presidential campaign. While Packer said a lot that he needed to say before his full home in CAP, it is difficult not to think that anointing the billionaire as a guardian of a model democratic political economy goes boldly.
