He shouldn’t be running, all he is going to do is split the votes between him and Dave Reichert and then the dems will win again.

Ferguson is a petty vindictive man, prone to abuse his office. after 40 years of dems having the governor's mansion, we need a change. Reichert seems to be the most likley R candidate in recent memory to have a chance, especially with crime and costs in this state. I think Ferguson is so evil, that this is the time to vote for the less conservative republican that can win. Defeating Ferguson is the only thing that matters. Hell, I'd vote for Mullet over him. |

It's gonna get spicey if that's the result, the only silver lining being that that might kick people to get up off their asses. Might. |

I really hate having to vote for the lesser of two evils. In this case, though, we shouldn't have to hold our nose and vote for Reichert. Ferguson is the arch enemy of every conservative in this state. Reichert actually has a decent shot of winning. It seems crazy to throw away the best shot we've had in a very long time because Reichert isn't conservative enough or not aligned enough with Trump.
A Republican governor should be able to veto any legislation with the current makeup of the legislature. That's a pretty big prize, just barely bigger than seeing Ferguson handed a big loss. If Semi Bird can't possibly win, then what's the point? |

For me, I’ll be voting for Reichert since he is the only Republican that actually has a chance in defeating Ferguson. The way “I” see it, a vote for Bird is in reality a vote for that cunt Ferguson.
Ferguson is such a bag of shit and would love nothing more than to have Bird as his opponent. Sadly, it’s a lesser of two evils and ANY Republican candidate has to do well… Not win, but do well in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties to even have a chance at winning. Vote your conscience, but for me, it’s Reichert since he is WITHOUT question, the lesser of two evils. |

I’m not sure if this was 4D chess deliberate, but having the GOP endorsement in this state is probably the kiss of death.
Now Reichert can reach out to moderates and say that he was too far Left for the GOP. |

I don't know who is able to pass you personal purity test, but Reichert, warts and all, has a background in law and order, and has high-level governmental experience. The former item alone should be enough to get him elected right now, all he has to do is play an endless loop of the crime, lawlessness, murder, homelessness, and drug problems of the last eight years and keep calling it 'Ferguson's Washington'. "This was your top cop, and look where we are. I caught Green River Killer, bitches." |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mk4dubbin: So which one of these two "republicans" is the Democrat plant to get Fergie elected? i wouldn't say a plant, but Turd would much rather go up against Bird. He's more easy to paint in a negative light (associate him with MAGA, anti abortion, Far right) and he doesn't have the fund raising apparatus Reichert has. Reichert is the electable candidate in that he has the law and order background, some distance from Trump, name recognition, $ raising ability, and yes can appeal to moderates along the I5 corridor. His record isn't nearly a conservative as some people want, but it's really baby steps at this point. You're not going to get a Ron DeSantis in WA after 40 years of a dem in the governors mansion. Probably the best we'd get is Reichert as governor as a check on the legislature. And that assumes they don't get a veto proof majority. Reichert w/ veto and line item veto would be powerful. Not to mention appointment power for 2 WA Supreme court justices in 2026 & 2027, facing mandator retirement. |

I’ve never even heard of Bird, but I’ve interacted with Reichert a hand full of times over a few decades. I was an old friend of a family member. He’s a moderate Republican, but he’s always been a nice guy to chat with. He’d be a hell of a lot better than Ferguson.

Didn't realize Bird was Special Forces. An actual decorated combat veteran. I actually respect him more now.
I don't see him as a realistic path forward though. I really wish he was, but he isn't. We can't (won't) just jump into being a red state, we need to wade out of the blue, through the purple, into red. Something like that. |
