One year ago, Manka Dhingra was preparing for a celebration, a gathering of family and friends to mark Hillary Clinton’s election as the nation’s first woman president.
Today, she is bearing the hopes and dreams of Democrats crushed by Clinton’s loss and trying to help the party pull itself from a deep hole.
A state Senate race pitting two campaign novices in the upscale suburbs east of Seattle has turned into a major battle between the two national parties, becoming the costliest legislative contest in state history and serving as a test of the Trump effect far from the other Washington.
At stake is control of the state Capitol in Olympia. Democrats, who run the governments in California and Oregon, hope to build a blue wall of resistance the length of the West Coast and get a shot of momentum ahead of 2018 by extending their legislative winning streak under Trump.

Agree completely, but you can’t use any form of the word “slant,” because it’s racist! The LA Slimes is “selling” most of it’s papers to the fish market in San Pedro to be used as wrappers.
Just WTF is a “Manka Dhingra?” You’d think Seattle was Bombay, given the number of Indian Turds that have migrated there.
“Once away from the coast, Washington is very conservative. I think the State Senate is hard Republican.”
It’s the same for both California and Oregon as well. Coastal big cities have taken control, and it isn’t just on the Coasts.
be careful it maybe possible to get food poisoning from those fish (wrapped in the LASlimes)
