When people see ( Google) That Trump speaks at a 4th Grade-level, many say " America is great- the land of opportunity- because if that moron can be elected president, maybe I can as well!"



Some claim college degrees like the the who used anecdotal evidence to (not) make a point. Hopefully that pony rode off into the sunset.


Its all good Dav51lin and hopefully it will start looking better after November.

I am sure some who have college degrees will vote for Trump. It really isn't an issue of "intelligence" as an issue of politics, though I would offer that Trump does appeal to more non-college educated. And, frankly, he has capitalized on that to his advantage. Bottom line, he won't win in Washington, or Oregon, or California. But this thread is about Culp, and I apologize for swaying it toward Trump. But my original point was I see a lot of Trump/Culp combined campaign signs. As if the two were joined at the hip, as I suppose they are.

It's not just eastern WA. We took a long drive last Saturday (before the fires) in Graham, Eatonville, Buckley and Enumclaw. There were many big signs in those places for Trump and Culp, very few, smaller ones for Biden and Inslee. I didn't see any mounted on pickup trucks with flags, however.

The majority of clients at the firm I work at are small to medium local businesses. Many are open about supporting Culp because of the shutdown and overreach from Inslee. I don't know that any are big on Trump though.

I would expect any random collection of small and medium business owners support any Republican candidate, regardless of Covid or Inslee. Small business owners lean heavily Republican and always have.

In other words, if it wasn't Covid shutdown, the would have some other reason to vote GOP.

Just like liberal Seattle voters might say they are voting against Trump for whatever reason. But there is no chance most would ever vote for any Republican presidential candidate under any circumstances.

I'm amazed at the shallow thinking that seems to be a permanent factor in US politics. Thinking that Culp actually has any clue as to the requirements needed to administer the daily meanderings of a large and demographically complex state, is far beyond any rational explanation.

But that kind of thinking seems to be in vogue now. Just because candidates such as Culp have NO real experience--It is supposed that they are also blessed with a type of public service saintliness due to the fact of their administrative lacking and political ignorance.

Propaganda that aims to spread the idea of political administration experience as a negative, while posturing the "professional pol" as a kind of modern day pariah, plays into the hands of those who want to be controlling the candidate who is elected on the basis of their inexperience and supposed altruistic love of public service.

On another note: Jay Inslee, like most governors, makes his decisions based on the best input from professional advice, coming from inside the statehouse along with those in the private sector, to imagine Inslee arriving at the decisions surrounding COVID 19, all on his own, only demonstrates the level of political ignorance that has infected the minds of those ill informed types.

Jertheber- Nice post. Of course experience counts and just by your writing I can tell you're not a Trumper or on the Culp. Despite all the people fasopony knows voting for Trump and Culp, they both will get creamed in Washington and they can ride that horse into the sunset.


Culp probably has never even seen a large budget and most likely lacks even a rudimentary knowledge of law or human resources,

[tifoso]

Culp is on record as saying he isn't enforcing I-1639 because it's "unconstitutional." But if he won't even uphold his oath of office if elected, why should anyone take him seriously?

Inslee's not an appealing alternative, though.
