(81,507 posts)A broad spectrum of experience, and he's focused on my TOP concern - particularly now that I'm a new grandmother. THE CLIMATE CRISIS! For me, that one is IT. Everything stems from that and flows into that and is seriously impacted by that.

But back to the post...I thought he did very, very well. At the very least, he'll bring climate change to the forefront.

(14,331 posts)Could definitely change my support to him. Also like Brown, but wed lose a senate seat. We really have too many good candidates, but Inslee could be the one.

Inslee/Harris?
Inslee/Klobuchar?
Inslee/Booker?

(45,806 posts)not only are there way too many candidates already, there's still quite q few more to come. every time a new peron announces, THAT candidate is #1 for a while, then a new one announces and it starts over again. Aside from that, you really don't want to be TOO popular right now. It's much better to peak later after many have dropped out, mostly from lack of $$, and the remaining field can actually compete.
It IS fun to watch though.

Inslee/Harris?

(14,565 posts)Thanks for the heads up. I missed it originally.
This guy is intriguing. I would prefer to nominate a male, and I would prefer a governor over senator.

(4,994 posts)...of a governor over a senator.
Inslee's got a great record of implementing the progressive policies that everyone loves:
From a friend on FB:
"Under Gov Inslee, Washington has one of the nations highest minimum wages, paid sick leave for all workers, a best-in-the-nation paid family leave program, some of the nations most rigorous clean air and water standards, and one of the highest union membership rates in the U.S. In addition, he stood up to the presidents Muslim ban, protected LGBTQI Americans from discrimination, raised the minimum and created one of the best clean-energy economies in America. He is a good solid candidate to back in 2020!

(47,609 posts)I really knew very little about him and he made quite the impression on me. What great candidates we have. Republicans must be freaking out. Remember the lineup of Bozos they had in 2016? And they ended up with the biggest Bozo of all! How on earth are they a viable party?

(20,588 posts)he is a progressive and Rachel put that in the lead up. He has proven himself, he is intelligent, Washington is all about foreign trade so he knows that, he and Ferguson know how to sue trump and win so that show strategy. I could see him standing up to the dictators around the world and mending fences with our allies. Important: He is not phony.
I so want to hear how all candidates feel about climate change. Loved how he said the Pentagon knows it is real - they have been working on it for a long time. He will put the issue in the forefront, with a "can do" attitude.

Delmette2.0
(4,171 posts)I like everything I heard. He is progressive, he has experience at the Federal level.
I saw him on the View. He countered Megan McCain calmly and with a small dig at Trump. Megan was not listening or just would not consider that her concerns were way to extreme.

(8,600 posts)He has the experience I want to see, and he is likeable and positive about the urgent challenges we're facing and the opportunities they provide. I knew very little of his history or accomplishments while Governor, but wow, what a record. He's moved up to the top of my list!
