Washington state is republican, if you look at a voting map, it's all red except king county.

That is true based on the number of red and blue counties, but not based on population. Though most counties may be “red” the majority of the population tends to vote “blue”. King county has enough blue votes to often control close state wide races. So in general WA is currently a safe blue state for statewide races and the presidential election.

Of course, there are exceptions. And a non-Trump, moderate Republican with a proven track record has a shot if they can get through the primaries.

I miss the Evans and Spellman days of the Republican Party. But they would never get the nomination today.

First of all that’s not even true

And second, land doesn’t vote. Most people live in the Seattle metro

You would have to be crazy to live in Seattle metro. Why would someone want to live where it takes hours to drive 20 miles, where people shit on the sidewalks. Last thing I want to do, is have to worrie about my kids stepping on some drug uses needle, laying in the street.

Wow do you actually think that hundreds of miles of barren unpopulated land in Eastern WA actually gets to vote like it's a person? Because a Massive majority of WA's population lives within the very left-wing counties of King, Snohomish, and Pierce, all of which are in Western WA, so you're absolutely full of shit!

I love not being stuck in traffic, behind some clown that escaped his parents basement and can't tell what gender he is.
