13. He is a one issue candidate and no one is going to participate and risk other debates

Climate is extremely important and Inslee is not the only candidate talking about it.
Beto has a great plan on Climate Change but he also has a great plan on Immigration, Voting Rights and Choice...all of which are critical as well.

Inslee should just try to get a Climate town hall or something similar. It doesn't have to be a debate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

HOW would the DNC even do that? They can't. Hortensis Jun 2019 #38
