BEST MOMENT OF WA STATE GOVERNORS DEBATE

Dave Reichert: "Well first off all, I don't think he answered the question, 'Who's responsible?' You've been there 12 years. Are you responsible Bob?" Bob Ferguson can't run from his dismal record as AG. Video

Reichert Brings the Heat, Ferguson Clings to the Same Old Deflections

Even mainstream media sources are admitting that Dave Reichert really turned things around in the second debate. After what outlets described as a “rough start” in the first round, he came back in Spokane more prepared and on-point, laying out a clear vision for bringing both sides together in Washington. He stressed that it’s time for real change, not more of the same failed policies from the Democrats who’ve run the state for 40 years. Reichert’s message of unity and fixing what’s broken stood in stark contrast to Bob Ferguson, who has been part of the problem as attorney general, overseeing policies that have led to rising crime and higher costs of living.

Ferguson, meanwhile, seemed more focused on attacking Reichert than addressing his own failed record. He went after him on hot button issues like abortion and climate change, trying to paint him as extreme. And, of course, Ferguson attempted to – once again – link Reichert to Donald Trump, a desperate distraction from his many failures. In the end, Reichert came off as the guy with a real plan to shake things up, while Ferguson seemed stuck in the same old playbook of fear tactics and defending the status quo. Article
