- Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday he’s entering the 2020 presidential race as a climate change crusader, joining a crowded field of other Democratic contenders.

Exposing the Big Game 
Not surprising. I’m seriously looking at Bernie in 2020.
If I’m going to throw my vote away, I might as well vote for someone who makes the climate his main issue. Besides, last time, Bernie came out in support of hunting.
He may have seen the error in that this time. I don’t know what Hillary’s position on that was –
Not much. At least she talked about it…
Did she? I only heard her response when she was approached at a political rally with a comment about Donald Trump’s sons. It goes way deeper than that.
She and many of the Democrats support the ‘basics’, but I’d like to see a lot more. Even this New Green Deal doesn’t, and Senator Ocasio-Cortez is a freshman senator with no experience. I want to vote for the right person who can do the job, whether man or woman.
Bernie is a climate change leader too, I think, and he’s extremely savvy around political minefields set by the media. But we’ll see how things go on down the line.
I remember Bernie bringing up climate change too. Anyone would be better for that than Trump. I’ll probably end up voting for whoever doesn’t have trophy-hunters for sons and has the best chance of beating Donald, who does.
Yes. We’ll see how it all goes between now and then!
Yep, it’s still early in the game…
