Jay Inslee for President?

February 21, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

“The turbulent early weeks of President Donald Trump’s White House have had an unexpected side effect: boosting Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s national profile,” the Seattle Times reports.

“Among Democrats searching for new leaders after taking their own thumping in November, Inslee’s loud pushback against Trump has resonated. And though it’s exhaustingly early — we apologize for even talking about this — to think about the 2020 presidential race, some already are suggesting Inslee could be in the mix.”

That is my governor and he has been great here.

Love to see that and get away from the normal cast of characters.

He showed real backbone - he was at the airport immediately when he saw what was going on with the immigration ban. He also knows the Constitution and respects it.
