The Dem governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, is a trust-fund billionaire baby who "bought" (Bernie's term) his election with $200,000,000.00 of his own money. His family is the 15th richest family in the world. Bernie addressed the Dem convention saying we can't let the billionaires buy elections, got a standing ovation, and then was followed by governor Pritzker, who also got a standing ovation.
