Dem governor: 'We will rescue America from the grasp of an unhinged narcissist'

Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) said Sunday that Democrats are focusing their messaging in 2018 on the idea that they will "rescue" America from President Trump.

"Our message is rescue America — and we will rescue America — from the grasp of an unhinged narcissist who is creating ... chaos," Inslee said on ABC's "This Week."

He added that Democrats are also focused on protecting and expanding healthcare, as well as improving the economy for U.S. families.

"We’re really defining gross domestic product the way it should be," Inslee said. "The 'D' in gross domestic product should mean domestic for families. And … what we’ve learned in my state is that we have blown up the myth that if you actually focus on job creation and wage increase, that it somehow hurts your economy.”

and that is not enough to win on. Then I heard that Dems are winning primaries because they are focused on local issues specific to their district. I think we are doing both and that is why we are winning. I also am happy that healthcare is a focus nationwide as well as jobs/wages. Voters in both parties support these issues.

The "repulicons" should be happy to have the states have more rights, right?

I just wonder how this plays out in states other than Washington and California with massive tech and other resources. How do the potential mid-west and southern states get to snub the mighty call of U$ handouts? (Which they are happy to take.)
