Koch, rump, and 45 million of his vile filthy followers so talking about it makes sense and is the right thing to do but will not mean anything to many.

HAVING SAID that I think he draws MORE voters to our side with his message, so his MESSAGE needs to live on.

There are bigger and better things for Jay. He is a wonderful Governor and has been a Rep also. He can run for Gov again or maybe a VP for the candidate! I like Elizabeth & Jay

He can do great things and his dedication to the environment is absolute. I’m hoping he gets an appropriate cabinet position.

Sad to see a good man have to go out, but on the other hand sooner or later most of them are going to have to get out. The sooner the field gets narrowed down to the top few candidates the sooner we can focus our fire in the main target: donald trump. Most of our candidates are great people in their own right. Most are also not yet presidential material. I respect and applaud Gov. Inslee for seeing the writing on the wall and doing what's best for his career and for our country. When we win the presidency I would expect to see Gov. Inslee in the next cabinet.
