#BOMBSHELL Just minutes into the WA Gubenatorial debate, @reichert4gov announces he is not voting for @realDonaldTrump and tells @BobFergusonAG that he has an unhealthy "obsession" with Trump. Ferguson becomes unhinged and moderators tell him to stop interrupting.

Now that the primary is over let’s debrief as republicans a bit. So we can plan for the future. This isn’t to bash but analyze facts. I said this back in June / July 2023 when @reichert4gov first announced he was running. How would he win more in King County. I was told by many in the party he has pulled the most votes out of King and can hit the 40% mark. I guess folks don’t look at numbers and just look at percentages. Primary Election In 2024 Dave pulled 109,374 out of King General Elections In 2016 Dave pulled 105,885 out of King In 2014 Dave pulled 67,873 out of King In 2012 Dave pulled 101,354 out of King I give it to Dave he pulls a consistent 100k of voters out of King. But where are the huge numbers I was told by party “experts” he would pull. Heck Culp pulled 300k out of King County in 2020. Smiley pulled 220,307 votes in King in 2022. So I haven’t seen it? Where is the magical turnout for Dave? Heck a candidate that had little to no name recognition in Bird pulled 1/4 of the votes of Dave out of King with zero money and name ID. Republicans if you want to win statewide office we need to build wins from local seats all the way up. Dave won’t cut it with his current strategy. I’ll keep waiting for donors and party elites to realize this as they continue to not fund ballot harvesting and understanding what it takes to build a winning strategy to take back our state. We have to build.. we aren’t there yet. Can we do it before November? Time will tell..
