We absolutely and definitely have to get out and vote in November, even in liberal $hitholes.

And I doubt that the fact that every single Ocasio-Cortez endorsed candidate’s lost was top billing either.

The big one, to me, was Susan Hutchison for U.S. Senator. The Seattle Times has tried to be relatively silent on her and not that many Republicans even know she is running She only got 23% versus 55% for incumbent Maria Cantwell, but she will surprise everyone in November. Cantwell is a weak candidate — she has been quiet as a dormouse during her three terms in the Senate. She is a poor speaker and weak on the issues.

Hutchison is a strong candidate. She started as a popular local news anchor and was recently the chair for the state Republican Party.

She wasn’t sure she was going to run and registered on the last day. She will run a grassroots, people’s campaign and supports all of Trump’s policies.
She is old enough that she is not looking for a long career in D.C. She will be a rare senator in the Freedom Caucus. She is truly a woman for the people. She won’t be a quiet dormouse. She will be a fighter.

Please support Sue Hutchison for U.S. Senate - she *can* win that seat in this deep, deep blue state. Donate (up to $200 can be anonymous), volunteer or at least get your name in list by signing up for her newsletter:

https://www.susan4senate.com

She can win! Let’s start turning this blue state into a red Trump outpost.

Note:Dino Rossi, who is a huge RINO, got by far the largest percentage in his congrssiinal race. He will be the kind of Establishment Republican we loathe, but I will vote for him while holding my nose.

We need to get behind Susan Hutchison! Get involved. Make a difference.

Ah...the paradise of the homeless and druggies. they are not part of America at all!!
There are lots of good people in Washington State and the urban areas vote lib. The rural county I live in voted for Trump. Try and tell me I'm not part of this country and you can go to Hell. In a rocket.

I recall when Jesse Jackson Jr. first won - there was a big splash on the morning news...ho hum...it was a heavily Democratic district. Since there was no coverage on Tom Campbell (California), I knew he had won a tossup district. If the Democrat had won it would have been big news also.

Shucks...I love Washington state...I just hate the Democrat liberal scum & vermin that are destroying it. I knoiw the apple and the wine country, I know the Boeing Plants and airfields like the palm of my hand. I a spent tons of of time at the Boeing Everett plant and airfield where the B747 was being built.

But...the world has changed most of the Aerospace activity has left the West Coast. California, once a greaT aviation & aerospace mega industry is now dry as a bone. Even Boeing has moved to South Carolina to build the B787s there. Portland, Oregon, the lead in to the mighty salmon filled, Columbia River is now a garbage bin of nutcase humanity and wierdos. SAD!!!

Seattle will soon lose Boeing unless the politics changes radically. Texas, Florida, Alabama, Kansas, Georgia are all ready willing and able to handle the Boeing needs and requirements of both the Boeing Commercial Aircraft & Boeing MIlitary aircraft divisions. “SAD”!!!

When I think and remember how Washington, Oregon & California supported the space, commercial, military aviation industry...I cringe to think what these Democrat, Liberal scum and vermin have brought forth. “SAD”!!!

Ditto, I live in the 8th district with both residences so I’l vote for RINO Rossi and Hutchinson.
I do believe Hutchinson can knock off dimbulb Cantwell, who is just Patty Murrays much lesser known little shadow.
Hutchinson has tons of name recognition and is well liked by a lot of indies and moderates alike in this state because they liked her on the local news.
You just don’t find pure conservatives in Washington politics and, this state would also be more purple or even red if the it were not for voter fraud and people who vote Libertarian because they are principled fools.
Unfortunately Trump was blown out in this state and that is what we have to live with. I do believe that we now have a huge silent independent portion of population that has warmed to Trump.

Yeah, all the little towns in Washington, Oregon, and California are just like that /sarc

DuckDuckGo has lots of articles about this. Granted, most of the sources are Washington state sources, but you'd expect that in a state election.

I did. And I’m not surprised.

But there are competitive House races there to worry about.

WA has a stupid Cali-style primary so the totals for each party are of note.

The marquee race is CD-8, Open seat of RINO Dave Reichart, it was Hillary by 3 points, Obama over Romney by 1 and a half.

The Republican nominee with be Former Governor-elect (he was elected but didn’t serve after and illegal SECOND recount made the rat the winner in 2004) Dino Rossi is the Republican nominee.

All the vote isn’t in yet cause it’s a retarded mail in ballot but

Rossi and 2 minor GOP candidate are combing for 46.7%, the rats combined for just over 50. About what you would expect.

CD 3, Trump by 7, an improvment over Romney’s margin

Jaime Herrera Beutler’s seat, she and another Republican are combining for just 47%, rats the rest. Has some worried. I wouldn’t freak.

CD 5, comfortable GOP Seat

Cathy McMorris-Rogers, GOP combing for just 51%. 2.5 for an indie and the rest rat.

We await final numbers

Demo_rats and their enablers in the leftist media only care about propaganda and their best hope for good propaganda was in the Ohio 12th special election. Thus, they built the special election up as a demo_rat win to be. Even with a demo_rat loss, they still use it as propaganda to push the narrative of a blue wave in November.

ya all

You misspelled "ya'll."

almost "zero"

Why did you put zero in quotes? Did you really mean something other than zero?

In the latest count in WA-03 (80.7% of precincts reporting), Jaime Herrera Beutler and the two other GOP candidates combine for 50.4%. https://www.politico.com/election-results/2018/washington/

Good, that’s better

How concerned are you?

How about with the 5th district?

Frankly, I’m not all that concerned about the WA-03 or WA-05. I think that GOP turnout will be much higher in November, while Democrats will improve their turnout less markedly. I also think that our incumbents are good fits for their respective districts and will get some votes from those who voted for defeated Democrat or independent candidates.

I’m more concerned with WA-08. I thought that Dino Rossi would do better in the first round, and while he still has a good chance of winning because of the difficulty that his Democrat opponent will have in consolidating votes from the 30%+ that voted for other Democrat candidates, it won’t be as easy a victory as I thought initially.
