So who for the Senate in Washington state? It’s pretty clear: Sen. Patty Murray, Democrat.
The 10-second read on Murray: Experience delivers. Murray has the experience; has delivered for Washington; and her record proves it.
The 10-second read on Republican challenger Tiffany Smiley: poor positions; inexperience; falsehoody, half-truth, innuendo-filled bleating “We’re all victims campaign”; and the national ramifications of a Republican win.
Consider Smiley saying, without a trace of irony, “Voters have lost trust in politicians and have lost confidence in government. Recovering trust and confidence in government means reforming the way politicians behave and finding ways to hold them to account.”
Wow! Profound! But what does she mean?
