Jay Inslee--The Candidate Who May Be the Best of the Bunch

It's 108-110 in my part of Texas and there's a drought. The wildlife are suffering, people and crops, too. Climate change is here. I want to hear more from Jay Inslee, who is spearheading real programs to deal with it in Washington state. He even co-wrote a book, "Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy," that proposes how we could create millions of jobs and make progress in combating the most serious crisis facing our world. Inslee's record of accomplishments in Washington state are impressive, as stated by The Atlantic: "On his watch, the state has boosted health care, increased access to early-childhood education and college, raised the minimum wage, expanded paid family leave, invested in infrastructure, and established in-state net neutrality, all while leading the country in job growth, overall personal-income growth, and GDP." Inslee is not a flash and dash candidate. He hasn't made headlines by attacking opponents or spitting out zingy one-liners. But I have to wonder if this man with a solid legislative record and an outstanding record of progress in his state is not the best, all around candidate to defeat Trump. He has the ability to be a good president, and he deserves to be in the September debates. We're making a mistake here, in my opinion, in not giving this man our full attention and support.

Will Trump Bus in Supporters to El Paso and Dayton?

I wouldn't be surprised for the Trump Campaign to send buses of supporters to El Paso and Dayton today. Trump is all about optics, and I think he will try to create an illusion of support in cities where he isn't welcome.
