Well, the Dems are for disarming people and subservience to China. Bet that must be pretty mainstream in most parts of that state, eh?

Suburbs have also been lost to Republicans in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, maybe Charlotte.

One party rule-— look at California.

The day the legislature changed the voting rules to the “top two vote getters” was the end of choice.

Now, it is Donkey A or Donkey B and other candidates are pushed off the ballot.

No... this is what you get when you have MAIL IN BALLOTS

And all of the counters are Dems. And they are able to “reach in the back”, mysteriously “find” out enough boxes full of dem ballots to ensure their people win.

Remember! Every vote mus be counted!!

“mainstream and progressive Democrats”

There are no so-called mainstream ‘rats. The ones who say they are, are lying.

1) migration from CA
2) illegals galore (and they vote)
3) uncontrolled legal immigration (China, India, dominate the suburbs, etc)
4) very weak Republican party (most are RINOs)
5) mail-in voting... corrupt, all on the honor system
6) hostile, socialist local media

Washington Republicans have consistently offered up moderate candidates statewide and in suburban legislative seats.

That is why they constantly loose. You would have figured the GOP would have figured this out by now.

“Does anyone imagine that the Trump, or post-Trump, GOP will be moving to the center anytime soon? The Republican base supports Trump’s nativist, protectionist, isolationist and stridently populist nationalism. It is largely made up of culturally conservative white evangelicals, who are ardently pro-life and opposed to same sex marriage and transgender rights — and reject climate change. All this works for the GOP in some parts of America, but not in West Coast suburban communities.”

Nobody ever cares much that the coastal democrats are essentially a full on revolutionary socialist party. But Republicans... WE need to move to the center of course.

My experience is that suburban women are some of the dumbest people in the history of the human race. They vote accordingly.

Also don’t discount the impact of Trump’s tax reform. There were a lot of country club republicans in West Coast States who only voted Republican because Republicans cut their taxes. The Trump tax reform package increased the taxes of these people because of their high State taxes they can no longer deduct. The fact that reform turbocharged the economy and that the cost is the fault of their democratic State leaders is lost on them. Republicans raised their taxes. I know a few people like this. Losing them is good for the GOP and irrelevant for the Electoral College but it will show up in one party rule and all D congressmen in already blue States with high taxes.

Something more than dumb. Many WASPy soccer mom s have been brainwashed starting in K-12 to worship the state, accept expertise by definition, socialist policies and most interestingly abortion up to and after birth and normalizing perversity. If the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world we are in serious trouble.

“A pundit looking at the 1928 election results would have seen one-party Republican dominance in Washington state and never imagined that four years later it would be completely reversed.”

Of course history never repeats itself and such a political reversal will never happen again, right?
