WOW Our Governor Rocks!

[montanacowboy]

We love our Governor Jay Inslee the next president of the United States!

Jay will make a fantastic President as he has been a Governor and a Representative.

He has done it all and has the experience and background to knock that POS out of the White House and into everlasting incarceration.

1. I like him a lot but don't think he's the best candidate.

Btw I’m in WA too. He’s great, and is saying a lot that needs saying. I’m happy for that.

[montanacowboy]

3. You might change

your mind as time goes on

[nolabear]

5. I could. Darker horses have won me over.

[Texin]

11. I think I could. Saw him last night and was impressed.

My sister and BIL live in the Seattle suburbs (sadly, I live in Texas). They love Inslee. I - as of today - think that Joe Biden is the strongest candidate, and granted, a lot of this has to do with how much exposure he's had throughout the years. And most it has been very positive, especially when he was serving as VP. But, it's early days and there's a long slog to the caucuses and primaries and onward. The single most negative thing I could say at this point about Biden is that he is getting up there in years. That matters, as it should. A man in his late seventies should be reason for pause. The same thing holds true for Sanders. The younger candidates should really be given scrutiny and encouragement. Someone like Jay Inslee is someone I could get behind. I am a huge fan of Harris and of Sherrod Brown as well, among others. The good thing is, the Dems have a lot of good possible choices. We'll just have wait and see what happens and this thing unspools.

2. Certainly a voice that needs to be heard.

He’s one I’ll enjoy watching and learning more about.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

33. Did you see how he handled Meghan McCain on the View ???

She started off with her usual self-serving snark and attitude, regurgitating those ridiculous trmp talking points -- $600,000 cost to each family for green technology, no planes, trains or automobiles, no more hamburgers, etc. At first, he just reiterated his positions and then after she had gone off for the nth time, he informed her that no one was suggesting anything remotely like what she was blabbing about and that filtering this through donald trump was disingenuous and ill-informed.

Priceless. Love my guv.

He may not get the nomination, but he WILL raise the profile of this issue to the highest level.

[Lefta Dissenter]

34. Oh!

I’ll have to look for that.

Thanks!

[WeekiWater]

4. Love the enthusiasm.

Love that he is from your state and you like him this much. Love that you have someone to fully support.

Primaries are underway! Good luck!

[monmouth4]

6. I really like him and gonna support him at this point. And, he's quite handsome. Can't hurt. n/t

,

[sprinkleeninow]

7. 'Handsome.' 😍

[monmouth4]

10. I like Sherrod Brown also. Did you know that his dad, Dr. Brown, delivered Luke Perry? The stuff

you learn on FB..

[sprinkleeninow]

21. Well, I'll be.

Eventually I will get down to business and review these guys' political stance, etc.

But for now--😍.

We almost had Sen. Merkley in the mix, but he's opting for re-election in the Senate.

[calimary]

8. Yeah, I see that, too.

But it’s his ideas and experience and track record I find most attractive.

Doesn’t hurt that he’s not bad-looking, for the superficial voters out there - and America is full of ‘em.

I actually sent him a donation after seeing him on Maddow’s show. I haven’t done that with anybody else. I look forward to a campaign button, too, once his people come up with one.

[monmouth4]

23. I guess you could call me superficial if you like, but appearance and good looks go a long way,

a sharp brain is essential and general experience also. I like that he's a Governor and he does have some great ideas.

[calimary]

30. Oh NO I do NOT call you superficial. Your observation is MOST credible.

Looks make a BIG difference to some people. Absolutely. Consider ronald reagan.

I remember making note of people who didn’t like the way a candidate parted his hair!!! No joke! Eyebrows often made a difference, especially if they made someone look sinister.

If Jeff Merkley were ever running for higher office, for example, that’s the first thing I’d coach him to fix.

[monmouth4]

31. Thanks calimary, and you point out things like eyebrows, etc. Nixon was evil looking to me for

something about his eyebrows and his strictness. Someone you wouldn't want to be around for any length of time.

[Duppers]

9. 👍 for his priority of putting our lives first.

Our environment goes, most all life is lost. And Gov. Inslee is one of a few who realize how much danger we're in.

[murielm99]

12. He looks good to me.

I could get behind him.

Give me time, though. I am not yet ready to make a final choice.

[calimary]

13. I've made my choice - FOR NOW.

I may change as I see and hear more from the other candidates, particularly those who haven’t weighed in yet.

And regardless who winds up as our nominee (yes, even Bernie), I WILL vote for that person.

But at the moment, I haven’t heard or seen any who’ve hit the bullseye - for me, anyway, like Inslee has. You talk climate crisis, and you’ve automatically got my full attention. Nobody else has gone all in on that one. And its repercussions seep in across all the other issues we all care about as Dems.

If I’m gonna go elsewhere at least for now, whoever he or she is, they’re gonna have to best Inslee. And so far, even Harris (who I also like a lot) hasn’t quite gone that far yet.

I’m an Inslee girl.

[Autumn]

14. He is the most impressive on Climate Change. I think he will be one of the top 2

I can easily get behind him. Please post a lot more on him, people who have known him as a leader of their state have a unique insight. My former governor is also running while I was always happy to vote for him he was affectionately known here as Governor Frackenlooper. While he was great on most things to me, with what we are facing, of the two I support Governor Jay Inslee.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. I was impressed

with his interview with Rachel. I didn't expect to be, but he looks good. I still haven't made up my mind, other than ruling out 2 candidates (one not even a Democrat!). But I'm open to Inslee.

[greblach]

16. Great Start

I started out thinking he had no chance...but the more I see the more I like...he killed with his interview on the View with Meghan McCain, and was good on Maddow as well...Has represented Washington State well in various capacities...

[katmondoo]

17. I love him too. He will make a great President

[BarbD]

18. He was impressive.

There are so many good choices. Thank goodness I have time to make my decision.

[Doreen]

19. I am still a Biden person at this time

but I have voted for Inslee for Governor of Washington each election that has come up for his election and I like what he has done for and tried to do for Washington state. I will try to find the interview with Rachael and others who interviewed him. I also like Beto and Warren so those are two others I would be comparing Inslee to. There is also the fact that Biden has not officially said he is going to run ( unless I have missed something. )

[gateley]

27. I like the gravitas Biden brings and his experience with

world leaders. At this point I would trust any of our candidates, but would feel just a little safer with Joe.

As of right this minute, Biden has not announced.

[GaYellowDawg]

20. I'm still going with Harris for now.

But if her candidacy fades and his is still going strong, I will most likely switch to Inslee.

I want West Coast values in the White House.

[saidsimplesimon]

22. cowboy, perfect timing for your op

I saw Gov. Inslee on the Maddow show and he can speak from the cuff, without making it all about him or just filling space. I was unaware of his priorities and positions and find that after visiting his website, and public record, I couldn't ask for a better candidate.

http://www.jayinslee.com

I'm taking the next step in confirming my preference, since he is not taking PAC or big donor money, I will be sending a small donation via his website today or tomorrow.

[Hortensis]

24. I'm glad Inslee's in. 606 days to November 3, 2020.

But at least only approximately 12 months to Super Tuesday in Feb or Mar 2020...

[stuffmatters]

25. After Maddow last night, Inslee's now in my top 3 (along with Elizabeth Warren & Sherrod Brown)

All three have exemplary voting histories and have taken positions that demonstrate moral and political courage, wisdom, consistency and vision.

[gateley]

26. I would totally trust him and feel as though we're in good hands.

When he was my congressman he actually responded personally to a couple of my emails and of course I'm very pleased with his Governing.

But regardless of who gets the nomination, s/he will get my vote. I think we have an outstanding group of candidates.

[EarnestPutz]

28. Watched him on Rachel Maddow and was really impressed, and I live in Washington state.

Then went and listened to him on "The View" and really enjoyed the way he dismissed Meaghan McCain and her idiot talking points.
Just changed my "Who I'd vote for" on DU to him. Boy, am I fickle. Should probably just go with "undecided" for a while. Forgive me DU, but I see several candidates as really strong, and the last election I preached "Climate Change and the Supreme Court".

[ms liberty]

29. I really liked what I saw in last night's interview.

He wasn't even on my radar beforw then; I don't think I knew he was running, and did not know much about him. He made a great first impression.

[KT2000]

32. there are many reasons

to support him for prez. What he and Ferguson have done shows intelligent planning and strategy - they have won 16 cases against trump!!
He will keep climate change in the conversation.
Washington is all about foreign trade so Inslee is up on it.
He has a positive message - even inspirational!

[Lefta Dissenter]

35. When I got to work this mornimg

I told my boss that he should watch that interview. He has said that all he wants is a president who will prioritize clean air and clean water. I said Inslee might be his guy!
