They can't pick Pritzker because Pritzker has his own independent wealth and independent voter base. The DNC, more than anything, is afraid of being 'Trumped' like the 'moderates' in the Republican party were and completely losing control of the party. If they lose control of the party, they lose the gravy train of insider trading and donor money. This is what scares them more than anything else, because it is unfathomable to them that a third party will actually arise in such a way that it can't be immediately crushed through some half-hearted promises.
They worship the status quo, and anything that threatens it is immediately out the window. One of the reasons Newsome wasn't even in consideration last time is that he had just abit too much of an independent streak. He has since gotten back in lock step with the DNC.
