Gov. Inslee--

[sprinkleeninow]

Q. What's the biggest threat to the US today?

A. Donald Trump.

CHEERING!

[True Dough]

1. It was a great answer

He hasn't had much airtime tonight. He should show up at tomorrow's debate just as a matter of fairness.

[sprinkleeninow]

3. Show up...😄

[sprinkleeninow]

29. Bottom of the list of speaking times. 😕 n/t

[RainCaster]

2. I was surprised at his choice of answer

His whole campaign has been about global warming.

[sprinkleeninow]

4. He should have the chance in his closing argument. 😉

[True Dough]

5. That's what gave it even more impact

Everyone who knows anything about him would have guessed climate change. It packed a punch when he said Trump (and reinforced how dangerous Trump is).

[sprinkleeninow]

6. He said what he needed to in his closing statement. 😊

[AJT]

11. Well, drumpty is full of hot air.

[sprinkleeninow]

16. * wasn't impressed with the Democratic Debate for PRESIDENT tonite.

So why did you watch it??!!11!

* twittered, "Boring."

Tonite gave me some much needed 'light', you know.

[dawg day]

26. Trump was TERRIFIED

Every single one of those on the stage could smash him in a debate.

[sprinkleeninow]

30. A trumpuddle in the future? 🤔

🤣

[50 Shades Of Blue]

7. He impressed me!

[customerserviceguy]

10. He'll get a bump. n/t

[walkingman]

8. Inslee made it clear that he is the candidate for Climate Change - He got my attention.

[DemocracyMouse]

15. I hope other candidates will pick up on his sense of urgency on global warming

... and his other point: arranging all the other components of governance around it, like green jobs, environmental justice, infrastructure, etc.

[ismnotwasm]

9. He's not my first pick. But I adore him

That was a great answer

[pnwmom]

17. I could see him on the ticket with Harris or Warren. nt

[sprinkleeninow]

19. I have been warming to Harris. We shall see.

[CTyankee]

12. It is interesting that we have had so many presidents who were former governors.

Just in my lifetime there has been FDR, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Carter and Clinton. Inslee doesn't have a lot of charisma, however, and several of the governors have.

[Freddie]

32. That's why I like him

Recent history has shown that a relatively unknown Governor can win.

[Wounded Bear]

35. Governor is actually a more natural stepping stone to Pres...

It's an executive position. Many congresscritters don't understand that transition well.

Inslee is my second choice right now, though.

[proud patriot]

13. He surpassed my expectations

so did my congress woman Tulsi ..

[sprinkleeninow]

28. She was surprisingly surprising to me. 👍 Hadn't heard her b4 tonite. 🙂

[ancianita]

14. Great Democrat who walks climate change and chews the political gum at the same time.

[sprinkleeninow]

18. Yes, I do feel the same.

It's a biblical exhortation that inhabitants of the earth be good stewards of it and all it contains, but the hypocritical good book toting dumpers pay that no mind.

Funny, seems that many who may not profess a biblically based faith are more 'godly' in adhering to being good stewards in an attempt to preserve our planet. This, a paradox.



💙🇺🇸💪🗽

[ancianita]

20. Thanks for your response. I call your paradox a failure of morality per Jesus' 2nd Great Commandment

The true godless of this land are those who are faithless toward their fellow man. In so doing, they destroy the Earth and human souls because they faithlessly set themselves apart from their god and her creation. In loving nature, faithful believers see themselves as a part of nature (and all humans in it) and not as apart from nature.

If they don't get how Jesus saw godliness, they are lost souls whose pride isn't biblically based. Religion is a map. Spirituality is a practice. Jesus gave the best words to help them avoid the pride of choosing what/who is worthy of their faith. Religion as biblically based belief has failed as a source of spirituality. That's why Jesus left his religion.

For the record, I'm an atheist. But I still try to live as Jesus did.

[sprinkleeninow]

22. This:

"The true godless of this land are faithless toward their fellow man. In so doing, they destroy the Earth and human souls because they faithlessly set themselves apart from their god and her creation. In loving nature, faithful believers see themselves as a part of nature (and all humans in it) and not as apart from nature."

Exactly.

In my attempt in following Christ, I am unequivocally 'cautioned' to not judge others. Especially those who appear not to be of the 'household'.

IOW, watch my sorry self, and rid myself of vainglory and presumption.

The graphic you offered is lovely and touched my spirit.

31. ...

[orleans]

21. a.o.c. was on cobert's show

(it was live because of the debate)

she said there are kids who want the candidates to do a debate on climate change. i think that would be fantastic. i wasn't familiar with inslee but his concern for the environment was impressive.

while i agree that trump is the biggest threat (and it *was* a great answer), i think climate change is terribly important. and is in urgent need of being addressed.

[sprinkleeninow]

23. Made sure to watch and I did. She has strength.

I'm taking notice of/assessing more contenders now that the debates have commenced.

Is it not a good thing or shallow to include one's body language or perceived 'aura' in my 'noticing'? I yam a female and cannot help it!

[orleans]

24. i don't pick up on auras

but as far as body language, (and i was back and forth in the kitchen and soothing my little dog from loud thunder booms), i saw warren leaning forward (no big deal, just noticed), and booker with his left hand in his pocket at least two times.

[sprinkleeninow]

27. My girl will be up on my shoulders July 4th with the firecrackin'

going off in the neighborhood. I don't feel like investing in a 'Thundershirt', or do I. 🤔

[orleans]

33. we have a thundershirt

it's not absolutely great but i think it might help a bit

i put the thundershirt on my doglet last night


(and set her next to me on the couch; she was still quaking and panting)

[sprinkleeninow]

34. I'll look into it. Thx. ☺

[MFM008]

25. I thought Jay

Held his own..
