Suggestion, perhaps Dennis Kucinich run in senate or house primaries in Washington state? [View all]

He actually was looking at moving there and doing so earlier, when redistricting lead to his losing his seat in Ohio back in 2011.

Dennis, maybe the time is now, when there are so many pols in Washington that NEED to be primaried after they were part of the corruption process that the TPA did to these bodies...

Either run for the Senate against Patty Murray or in the House run for the seat of one of those 28 Democratic Party turncoats that voted for TPA as well:

Suzan DelBene
Derek Kilmer
Rick Larsen

If he wanted to move to Oregon, I'd gladly help him run against Suzanne Bonamici in my district too. We could use you back in congress now!

Washingtonians, wouldn't you like someone like this representing you more?

Why would he run against something that most Democrats support? Tarheel_Dem Jun 2015 #1

You are confusing trade with what TPP and TPA are really! cascadiance Jun 2015 #2

Dennis? No, thanks. We Washingtonians don't need to be saved by any Ohioans. n/t pnwmom Jun 2015 #3

I though that he had some ties up there that had him wanting to move there earlier... cascadiance Jun 2015 #4

I've never heard of any. And the reason for the votes here is that pnwmom Jun 2015 #6

what kind of jobs were gained ? JI7 Jun 2015 #7

Boeing-related and tech jobs is what I understand. Some port connected jobs, too. pnwmom Jun 2015 #8

I wonder how many of those new local jobs are using H-1B Visas too... cascadiance Jun 2015 #13

Good question. There is a lot of pressure here for those Visas, but I don't know pnwmom Jun 2015 #15

why ? he would lose JI7 Jun 2015 #5

Yes, too bad he didn't move up there earlier... cascadiance Jun 2015 #12

Too bad they weren't there today to vote for the people's best interests. sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #20

Did you read the article? 40% of Washington state's economy depends on international trade. pnwmom Jun 2015 #21

Well, that is what we were told. That she would be able to win whereas we didn't really have sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #22

You should read the article. Our representatives have been getting plenty of feedback pnwmom Jun 2015 #24

So constituents KNOW what is in this secret deal? How could that be? And isn't the job of sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #25

You do realize that our representatives were barred by law from sharing specifics about pnwmom Jun 2015 #26

You just made my point, do you realize that? You stated that constituents were calling their Reps sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #28

Some of their constituents are Republicans, believe it or not.And some are Democrats or Independents pnwmom Jun 2015 #31

Really..... you'd vote for a Fox News guy? (nt) Nye Bevan Jun 2015 #14

One of the best Democrats we had, he stood up to the Bush regime and of course was hated by the far sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #19

Are there any HRC DU posters that are Fox News Guys aspirant Jun 2015 #32

I would be happy if he primaried some of our DINOs. n/t PowerToThePeople Jun 2015 #17

Yes, that would be a great choice. Note how the Corps hated him, which makes him all the more sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #18

Dennis Kucinich couldn't get nominated when his district became marginally less liberal... brooklynite Jun 2015 #23

I think you are confused. His district was merged with Marcy Kapturs, another liberal Democrat cascadiance Jun 2015 #29
