After that RINO won in Maryland anything is possible.BleachedAnusDawg said:
It's not close at all. Late ballots will trend heavy to Inslee as updated vote counts are released. Primary elections are also known to be a more conservative voter base. Inslee will win reelection rather easily.DoogieMcDoogerson said:I dunno - add all those R votes and it gets Chinteresting. Inslee wins pretty much King County against Culp and that's it. Culp's message is unique. Debates will be interesting if the media chooses to cover them.
Sorry to shit on having any hope. I would love to see all Dems lose, but that's not happening in Washington State.
Remember:
1. The Culp team's campaign effort was focused on gaining second place in the primary. The campaign in the general election will focus on the damage, corruption, and incompetence of Inslee full time.
2. These primary votes for Inslee were typical Democrats and most really had no compelling reason to vote for anyone else at this time. Picture these folks looking at 36 candidates and not having any idea about the other left-of-center people. Many traditional democrats held their nose and voted Inslee.
3. The damage caused by Inslee and his leftist cabal will be worse by November. Tens of thousands more citizens will have direct experience and they will be talking.
I obviously didn’t write that... but found it interesting, or not. I’m a centrist so I’d say it could be Inslee or Culp depending on how things go. -
Will someone explain to me in small words that my delicate female mind can understand (remember, my gender only recently got the right to vote) why the Republican Party in Washington State can’t win/put forth an electable candidate?

No EWA Republican can win. And there’s no GOP bench on Westside anymore. -
And +1 to DDJ, I want to know why too.

It doesn't matter because the electorate are a bunch of libtards. The state is a lost cause if you're a conservative. Move to Idaho or Texas.Doog_de_Jour said:Will someone explain to me in small words that my delicate female mind can understand (remember, my gender only recently got the right to vote) why the Republican Party in Washington State can’t win/put forth an electable candidate?

You’re probably right (heh), but in the short term I want at least someone who will give the Democratic Party a run for their money. Having strong competition is important in improving both sides.BleachedAnusDawg said:

I realize this is unrealistic, but I would still like to hear what are the obstacles besides demographics. -
The R party is definitely disorganized and being down-ballot of Trump in November is going to make things even tougher. I do think that demographics is the bigger, long-term change here, though. Look at places like the 1st legislative district in South Snohomish County as an example. I moved there in the early-90's and it was a very evenly split area. 20 years ago the Dems that were elected from there were still pretty conservative and "business friendly." Today they are died in the wool Dems who cater to the teacher's unions and will follow populist trends. Same can also be said of the 5th district in South King. That's a reflection of the people who have moved in as the state has grown. Also a reflection of poor people moving out of Seattle and turning cities south of Seattle blue at a rapid pace.Doog_de_Jour said:

I've been pretty involved in politics for the past 15 years and I can't imagine the state ever moderating again. The data I see reflects generational changes and big swings in the types of people who now live here.
The State Supreme Court is also fucked if you care about property rights, income taxes, etc. That might actually be the bigger problem for conservatives in the state. They've been tossing out 75 years of case law, in some instances, to arrive at their activist decisions. -
