    Take all the screenshots you need. I think he actually could lose.

    First let's look at some recent results. Actually pretty close for the last 2 elections. I bet 9/10 folks don't even remember who he ran against in '16.





    No one like Culp has run in a long time. Huge wildcard. Pandemic. Huge Wildcard. Demotivated democrats since Biden is running. Wildcard. Racial Justice issues and the state's handling of it. Another wildcard.

    He's going to bring a lot of people out, as will Trump. People sick of the bullshit. Gonna be a squeaker.

    The above tells me you can almost guarantee that a Republican candidate can get up to the 1.5M vote range.

    Democratic totals seem dependent upon energy levels. 2016 seems high given Washington one of the first “Never Trump” states.

    I think there are two main issues in 2020:

    1) Does Biden excite enough, or Trump drive enough hate, to have people hit the ballot box

    2) Has Inslee pissed off or fatigued enough people to get 100K people to change their vote?

    I can see why Inslee doesn’t want to debate ... he’s not operating from a position of strength
    He also doesn't want to debate in person because he is staff run and needs a hidden channel to answer anything remotely challenging. The dude didn't even know about CHAZ (I'm sure he did, but ran scared) and when faced with someone of the least bit of opposition he'll fold like his wife's 4xl panties. (Huge and easily) He knows if he hides he'll get the 1.4 million idiots that blindly vote blue while their windows are boarded up from riots. My fear is the mail-in BS. All this 'you must mark republican/democrat' on your envelope BS is prime ripe for some fraud. If he loses, he won't leave and will recount just like they did in 2004.

    Culp needs to lay low and then absolutely come out firing with them having no chance of changing the narrative in time. But hey, go ahead and vote blue, child sniffers.

    Come out firing? How? To whom?

    75% of voters haven’t heard of Culp and know nothing about him

    Eastern Washington will blindly vote Red

    The reason that Inslee doesn’t want to debate is because it’s far easier to take away Culp’s platform

    There may be some nut job in Culp ... but reading through his positions they come off as relatively common sense driven ... does anything Inslee says or does come off as common sense?

    Also, I’d definitely recommend playing the card that Inslee has already had 8 years and that’s enough #TermLimits

    He’ll have to hammer home the message in Snohomish and Pierce Co. Don’t even spend time in King Co.

    What else does Culp say about how to run a state? I am not a fan of Chinslee at all, but can a small town cop really get the people of this state to support him?

    All I have heard is "he won't debate me".

    I will probably vote for him because I refuse to vote for Chinslee.

    But I am not Seattle by 154 miles or so

    Perhaps you should watch one of his speeches? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tAxdpIJe3E&feature=youtu.be&t=874
    Go to about 14:30 to see the start. Start at the beginning if you want to hear Eyeman's intro.

    Guy is a common sense politician, guided by the constitution. Nobody like that has run in Washington state in a long time which could be good or bad. Like all non-liberal politicians, he is getting no airplay by the media. They're complicit in this.

    Washington hasn’t seen a GOP Gubernatorial Candidate like this since Ellen Craswell
