GOP Candidate for Senate Blows Bad Breath at Senator Cantwell

Commentary by David Brewster: Maybe Leaderless is Good?
David Brewster Fascinating times for Democrats, now leaderless.

Brady Walkinshaw: “The choice is between symbolism and pragmatism, national issues versus issues rooted in Seattle. “
Neither Sanders nor Jayapal is highlighting the visit as promoting votes for Hillary or, for that matter, Democrats in the critical races for control of Washington’s legislature or the Congress. Bernie Sanders is here campaigning in a race between two progressives … one a strong supp[...]
