Farewell to the Jay Inslee presidential campaign

Jay Inslee was the 2nd native Washingtonian to run for president.  The last Washingtonian person to run for president was the late Henry Scoop Jackson who actually almost got the nomination in 1976 if a Southern Governor was not so charming named Jimmy Carter.  Many reasons this campaign failed to gain traction.  Jay was a single issue candidate.  Usually one issue candidates do not win in most political races.  If Jay had focus more on the environment and other issues that were more important to Democrat voters it would had worked.  Had he focused on gun control he would had gotten more traction.  What he should have done what worked for him that the two times he ran for governor in the State of Washington it would had worked.  He could run again in 2024 and think about no Donald Trump to deal with.  As we bury his campaign in the presidential candidate cemetery where others candidate will soon be having theirs.  Jay made an effort and tried to market Washington to the world.  That he can do as Governor.  He has announced he will run for a third term as governor
