I might, if he is near the top. I want to help pick the winner. It may mean voting for someone other than my first choice. Still watching how the field shapes up.
I'd prefer a candidate resign from their current position and run 100%. But most don't.
Picking climate change as his top or almost exclusive issue (at least so far) had a rationale, but it doesn't appear to be working for him or for action on that priority.
One of the biggest loons in the clown car. His utter ignorance makes him very easy for even Trump to defeat. I might just go vote for him in the primaries.
It is hard to see a path for Inslee. He is basically running as a single issue candidate on an issue that dosen't really move voters. Sure, democrats believe in climate change and are vaguely pro-regulation, but it doesn't move most people the way the economy, health care, inequality, race/gender concerns. I guess his plan is become know for climate change and than branch out. But, in a crowded field that's hard to see.
Plus, he dosen't really standout. He isn't particularly charismatic, dosen't have anything interesting in his biography (that I know of).
Things that might standout in his biography could be: born to working / lower middle class parents, high school athlete, married to same person for 47 years, 3 kids, lived in and represented big cities and rural areas, prosecutor, experience at state and federal levels in legislative, executive and administrative roles. Somewhat younger than some leading candidates and more than slightly in appearance. Doesn't look like a flaming leftist. Whether he is depends on who is deciding. In my eyes he is one of the more reasonable, pragmatic candidates out there.
I met him a few times 20-30 years ago when he was early in his political career. Seemed decent and hardworking. Confident.
