.@GovInslee, speaking at Netroots, says GOP governor candidates this year have all "shackled themselves to the SS Titanic," being Trump.

"There is no Republican Party – it’s the Trump party."

@GovInslee Inslee on 2018: "Whatever energy we have, this is the year to put it all on the line. This the year all the chips are on the table." #NetrootsNation

After Inslee says he thinks competitive Dem primaries are good in general, @aterkel asks when they aren't good.

Inslee: "When somebody’s running against me."

Inslee, asked about @TomSteyer impeachment effort: "Democrats should be talking about every single thing that will hasten the demise of the Trump presidency. … I really respect what he’s doing."

Inslee adds: "We ought to do everything we can to fight him today. And today we can fight him on multiple fronts."

Netroots Audience Q for @JayInslee: Are you going to run against Trump in 2020?

Inslee: "I’m not waiting. I’m running against Donald Trump today."

Another Q from NY attendee calls @NYGovCuomo a "DINO" -- what do we do about it?

Inslee: "This is your decision. You’re the boss. You control your vote."

Notes the DGA, which he chairs, endorsed Cuomo. But repeats: "t’s your decision."
