    Holy Shit. Culp mentioned that Inslee hired a consulting firm for 165k a week to help craft a tool to help in reopening the state. When I heard it I thought that sounded outlandish, but, it wasn't:

    https://www.nwpb.org/2020/08/10/165000-a-week-for-covid-analysis-thats-how-much-washington-state-has-paid-a-consulting-firm/?fbclid=IwAR1HOVECZWOm3lWTQ2oBmFXGer1EdHQM8sb2l-4m5bD9XDSCMvSI5hP0dDM

    In early June, as Gov. Jay Inslee was overseeing a phased reopening of the state, his budget office signed a contract with the elite international consulting firm McKinsey & Company to provide access to a “Governor’s Decision Support Tool.” That tool was meant to aid Inslee’s decision-making as he gradually unlocked the economy.

    But access to McKinsey’s customized COVID-19 risk tool didn’t come cheap. Under the contract, the state initially agreed to pay for eight weeks of access to McKinsey’s services and proprietary data sets. The cost to taxpayers: $165,000 per week. And that was McKinsey’s government discount rate.

    “We recognize that that’s a lot of money, but this is a strange time and the governor needed that data and needed the information to help him make his decisions,” said Tara Lee, Inslee’s communications director.

    The June agreement is one of three, six-figure-a-week, no-bid contracts the state of Washington has entered into with McKinsey – one of the largest consulting firms in the world — in the midst of the pandemic, according to a review by the public radio Northwest News Network and The Seattle Times. The nature and price of the contracts has raised questions about whether there were better, more cost effective ways to spend that money.

    And for $165K per week they got a dashboard that an 8th grader could have created?
    Later in the article it notes Microsoft created the dashboard for free. Apparently they created a dashboard for inslee to make decisions about counties and phases, that seem to have disappeared.

    Listened to it on the radio. Inslee likes to spout subjective evidence as facts, such as "my policies saved lives." Well please point out to me whose life your policy actually saved? Inslee was caught in a blatant lie about CHOP / CHAZ, and after Inslee was talking about the importance of saving lives re covid, Culp really should have brought up that Inslee's inaction, along with Seattle pols, resulted in the loss of at least three lives. Lost opportunity for a debate that probably multiple people skipped. Culp did get Inslee on one thing. Inslee referred to people attending Culp's rally's as Trumpians, in a condescending manner. Culp equated the term to Hillary's deplorables comment, and that Inslee is supposed to represent all citizens regardless of ideologies.

    Not sure that's a "gotcha moment" where Culp nailed Inslee, considering that probably quite a few who attend Culp's rallies are also Trump supporters. They should take it as a badge of honor. The centrist in me acknowledges that Culp did better than one might expect for a small town police chief. It was good for him to let people know he had a life before that.

    Still though, we know how it'll end up.

    wait, Culp held a rally? Where? When? Why didn’t he tell anyone about it?

    Was it a real rally with people or a “Jill Biden-on behalf of my husband” rally with a half dozen campaign staffers standing in circles 6 feet apart pretending to be voters?

    Culp looked like he was in over his head in that debate.

    Sorry, I just don’t see “Governor” when I look at that guy.

    My thoughts as well ...

    Inslee makes a fucktard look smart ...

    But seriously Culp is the best Republican that can be found in this State?

    Inslee is also a small-town retard from Eastern WA, but I'm sure you knew that as an educated centrist.

    Inslee is also running for a third term because there is nothing else he could do to earn money because he's so fucking stupid.
    What's sad is that being Governor of the State of Washington is essentially a pay cut for anybody that knows what they are doing.

    If it was in the Seattle Times it was in the least read section of the paper to ensure no one would find the article.

    Culp is the most honorable losing GOP candidate since Ellen Craswell

    That and a terribly frustrating job. Imagine getting elected governor as a Republican and trying to take on the WA deep state public union workers and legislatures. You’d get nothing done and all the blame.

    Inslee grew up in North Seattle/Shoreline and graduated from Ingraham.

    Don't stain Eastern Washington with his retardation. That's home-grown Seattle retardation of the highest order.

    He landed an Assistant AG job in Yakima (party patronage, but the closest thing to Siberia WA has) and got elected to the house from there, God only knows how, then got his ass kicked by Doc Hastings.

    I know people who knew him as a youngster, and said he was never very bright, just big.

    This doesn't come as a surprise. I never followed any of his Congressional career because he wasn't my rep, so my first exposure to him was the debate with McKenna. Rob wiped the floor with him and they didn't appear to even be in the same league of intellect.

    I actually thought that with McKenna being fairly moderate, and the clear intellect divide, that the educated King County sweater vest liberals would go for him. That was the last time I can remember being wrong.

    I'm hopeful that there's a renewed appetite for someone more moderate, or even right leaning, given the far left's decade-long attempted decay of Seattle. Someone like Rob could do well in 2024 with no incumbent to face off against. Hopefully the WA GOP picks a serious candidate next time around instead of a right-wing caricature like Culp.

    He likes to tell stories about playing basketball at Ingraham - so we'll all know he once shared a gym floor with the blacks. So typical of North Seattleites.
