Now Inslee Ducking Debates?
Comments
-
Is he allowing anyone to run against him?

Fucktarded, obviously, but not going to cost him anything.

Teh KOMOIncumbent Governor Jay Inslee refuses to debate Republican challenger Loren Culp in-person, a source with the Washington State Debate Coalition tells the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.
Instead, Inslee’s team is angling for a digital debate over Zoom, where he can participate from his home. This despite assurances that an in-person debate would practice social distancing and other coronavirus best-practices recommended by Inslee’s own administration.
Inslee’s campaign has not responded to multiple requests for comment.
Inslee says no to debate over mask wearing
According to the source, Inslee won’t participate because Culp won’t wear a mask during the debate and Inslee will refuse to remove his. If this is Inslee’s position, as the source states, the insistence that both participants wear a mask during the debate isn’t just odd. It breaks with what Inslee himself practices.
While at group press conferences in the past, Inslee has worn a mask when not speaking and removed it when he does. And that’s while sharing the same microphone with other people. It’s standard practice across the country and safe. He’s even refused to wear a mask during one recent press conference saying, “I only took mine off because of the First Amendment.” -
Inslee could wear a pink tutu for all anyone cares and he'd still win rather easily.

Well when you lose $600m in unemployment fraud, either at your discretion or your appointed directors, and have purposely not brought back the legislature to resolve a huge budget deficit in hopes of federal bailout, I might duck too.
That’s before even talking about his science and data. -

Inslee cannot lose. I wouldn’t debate either.
-
Is anyone else running?
-
did somebody fart?
-
It’d be high comedy if Inslee didn’t debate and then lost
-
he could die and still win.
but more people would feel better about him winning -
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. -

I’m not terribly impressed so perhaps this colors my opinion: Crushed. -
My greatest Washington conservative moment was a majority of the stadium booing Gregoire at the Apple Cup when she was shown on the jumbotron. This was after Rossi got fucked in the triple recount.GrundleStiltzkin said:

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 -
I actually expected much better from Inslee in the primary. Lot of Culp (and Freed) signs in rural Washington, more than there are Trump signs imo.
I agree the Republicans in Washington will probably be more energized, but still Inslee had >50% in the primary. If Culp runs a good campaign he could get within 5, won't win though.

Bill Bryant was a Port of Seattle guy, McKenna was AG. People knew them. People now know Culp because he’s running against Inslee but that’s really all.DoogieMcDoogerson said:Take all the screenshots you need. I think he actually could lose.

Now, you go get yourself Dave Reichert and we’ll have a conversation here. -
Divided government would be a very good thing for the state. Culp not going to do it.

The above tells me you can almost guarantee that a Republican candidate can get up to the 1.5M vote range.DoogieMcDoogerson said:Take all the screenshots you need. I think he actually could lose.

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 -

In the back seat of someone's car. -
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.Tequilla said:

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 Reddoogie said:Come out firing? How? To whom?

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

I know several voters who feel Jay Inslee has been the best Governor in the Country on Covid and the lack of deaths here Prove his lockdown strategy has worked.

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

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
