@DavidSalo Whee....
An interesting effect of WA's top-two open primaries is that the WA GOP could pass up a viable candidate for governor to endorse a more-MAGA clown, and still have a Republican in the general election after the clown got his predictable shellacking in the primary. The guy they passed up survived the primary and is running as a Republican, no hard feelings I guess.
I like top-two primaries in general, but this one seems to have enabled irresponsible behavior.
