Pritzker says 'action will be met with a response' after Trump threatens to send National Guard to Chicago

#9  Chicago is much, much bigger than DC with more criminal gangs, more crime areas, etc.

The DC deployment is about 2000. A much bigger deployment would be necessary, probably closer to 10,000 or maybe even 20,000.

#8  At least they won't have to worry about Pritzker throwing a sandwich.

DC Mayor Bowser reverses course, admits Trump's federal crime crackdown is working

This even made my morning radio report; believe the station is an ABC outlet. Something like carjacking down 85% so there is no hiding it.

I'm sensing an ambassadorship pending.

#6  Pritzker could "send in" the National Guard himself, but he won't. He can't endorse an Orange Man solution for anything.

#4  I just had a novel idea!

How about JB Pritzker actually do something about the crimes in Chicago, that way the POTUS won't have to send in the NG!

#3  There is a percentage chance that the response will be a hotdog eating contest.
