    As much as I love his stance on the issues he really is robotic and kinda bland when he speaks.

    That is the OPPOSITE of the Hutt in office now so I'm all for it.

    Not at all a Jeff fan. I find myself in conflict with almost everything he believes in. What I do respect him for is that he is consistent. Shoot, go ahead and make a run. Obviously has no chance to win the DNC spot with his lack of anything resembling a personality or eye appeal.

    BUT..would it be fun to watch him and President Trump debate?

    I Like Merkley but I think he should run for Governor first.

    Herbert Hoover lived in Newberg for a while when he was a kid. I think that's as presidential as we get.

    Free agent presidents won't come to Oregon.

    Guys. We need another President from Oregon. The only other one was some guy from Newberg who they named a dam in Nevada after.

    It's probably a little early for a straight up Gubernatorial thread, but the Republican primary is in May. Any thoughts on who might be running as your party's candidate (I'm Independent)?

    Edit: I found it. Any opinions on them?

    Besides the fact that she's a Dem, why don't you like her?

    I'll tell you this:

    Your President cut the funding for my son's healthcare....

    Kate Brown spearheaded the effort to make sure it would last for his only term... And we won..

    Why do I not like her?

    I do not agree with her hyper liberal agenda.
    I do not like that she targets small voting blocks and taxes them alone.
    I do not like the latest tax that was levied on health care providers, that is designed to mostly be passed on to the consumer.
    I do not like that she has declared this state as a sanctuary state.
    I do not like that she allows illegal aliens to obtain a drivers licence.
    I do not like that she allows our tax dollars to be made available to provide social services to illegal aliens.

    Is that enough, or do you want more?
