Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announces 2020 presidential bid
CNN ^ | March 1, 2019 | Dan Merica

Posted on 03/01/2019 6:42:56 AM PST by Trump20162020

Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday that he is running for President, launching a bid in which he intends to make combating climate change the central rationale for his campaign.

Inslee announced the bid in a video made public on Friday. He is slated to hold a news conference in Seattle at a solar panel installer to expand upon his presidential announcement. He will be surrounded by friends, family and business owners who the campaign says have benefited from his climate policies in the state.

"I'm Jay Inslee and I'm running for president because I am the only candidate who will make defeating climate change our nation's number one priority," the governor says in a more-than-a-minute-long video that highlights his decades-long focus on climate change and compares tackling the issue to President John F. Kennedy's focus on going to the moon.

Minnesota where it has been below zero forever.

You have my sympathies. We just got back from Montana after a week there of zero degree weather. Other than skiing, it was just too cold to do much of anything else.

Yep.

Only one minor difference...the moon actually existed when JF(worthless)K made his speech.

Jay Inslee is an evil, gun-grabbing thug who wants decent people disarmed so that his followers will have absolute power over us. Inslee disgusts me, as do all totalitarian leftists.

I'm from Washington and while I'm familiar with the name... Inslee is pretty much a blank slate in a state of really bizarre politicians. Washington state actually liked Bernie over Hillary in the last election. It is like California... the most populated cities which are heavily Democratic, dominate the politics of the entire state.

There are small town Dem mayors considering running for the nomination of chief rodent. The Rat party has jumped the crazy shark. There’s going to be over 100 candidates at this rate.

The first Dem debate will be in June, just 3 or so months from now. Television coverage already planned.

Supposedly, candidates will be picked at random to appear on one of two or three nights.
