General question. Where is it written that the GOP decides who can enter the race?
Ronna McRomBush?
I do live in the district for 35 years. Long enough to remember Brian Baird, D. This is and has been a very old democrat area. Jaime Herrera was an anomaly. People from Portland are moving in in droves. Joe Kent won’t win, unfortunately his association with Trump kuss of death.
Leslie is female btw.
He didn’t win last time and more liberals have moved into this area.
I have in SW most of my life. I voted for Kent previously, but this area is not conservative, and with more liberals moving in. He can’t win. Look at the voting history of this area. A Republican ever being elected is an anomaly.
We will have to see. We have a lot of liberals moving in.
Historically this is an old democrat district. Before Jaime, democrats old school rules. We have a massive liberal population moving into our cities from Portland. He can’t win, not centrist enough.
“Joe Kent can’t win”
Probably not. But does it matter?
MAGA has not learned how to assemble a consistently winning coalition. The 25-60% of registered Republicans (depending on where you live) who will vote Democrat before they vote MAGA means that the choice of the GOP as a vehicle for MAGA was a mistake and that something to REPLACE the GOP is needed.
Remember how passionate you became about Mitt Romney? Remember how much you hoped he would defeat Obama?
Be honest. If Romney had won, what would be SUBSTANTIALLY different?
Oh really? How many years has WA3 had a Republican rep.?
What was different this time was that RINO national pulled the rug from under JoeKent preferring (D)Perez to a MAGA Trump supporter.

We have a massive liberal population moving into our cities from Portland.
As Alex Jones said ….. Like locusts looking for the next field.
It’s truly amazing how destructive liberals are.
