In addition, the only negatives I can see about Gov. Inslee are that he emphasizes global warming a little too much (though he does a great job linking it to green jobs and eco friendliness) and that he is from the West coast.

He doesn't have any skeletons in his closet. He's been married to the same woman for 30+ years. Yes, he's a white male but I see that as an asset in getting traction with wavering trump voters.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
