He outwitted Trump so badly that he felt the need to go straight to Greg Abbot, the governor of Texas, for some backup.
Inslee would definitely make a great president or vice-president.

If the last several days has shown us anything is that the young are actually ready to lead and they would have a lot more affinity for a 40-50 year old than a 60-80 yr old.
We have great leaders and great experience but what they need is mentors and guides. We need to make way for the younger generation and a new approach to government.
The average age of our senate and House keeps climbing and more and more young people are losing that connection or desire to be involved in government as they average Democratic Senator or House members have been there over 20 years and are over 60 yrs old. That experience is great but it may be a better way to use that experience than in office.
Why or even how would a person get involved in politics when their existing representative has been there for their entire life and doesnt appear to be going anywhere? It was never intended to be a lifetime job...
