Today on @voxdotcom: @ezraklein lays out the case for @JayInslee:

"Inslee is the only candidate who’s been fighting the climate fight for decades, and has a real theory for how to translate those experiences into a presidency oriented around this crisis."
vox.com/policy-and-pol…

"Inslee’s candidacy is unusual in that it couples an ambitious policy vision with an honest account of the political reforms needed to have any chance of getting it passed."
vox.com/policy-and-pol…

"Inslee has methodically been rolling out what is, by far, the most sweeping, serious, and detailed climate change plan in the race." vox.com/policy-and-pol…

"The stakes of climate change are so enormous that it’s easy to become discouraged, alarmed, or incredulous. Inslee has a talent for making it all seem manageable." vox.com/policy-and-pol…

"There will be no radical action on climate policy without radical action on the political system, and Inslee’s recognition of this fact, and the degree to which he’s integrated it into his argument, sets him apart from most of his competitors." vox.com/policy-and-pol…

"Inslee has won more elections, in tougher circumstances, than most of the Democrats running for president." vox.com/policy-and-pol…

"Under his watch, Washington got named the best state in which to do business and the best state in which to be an employee, which is an impressive coupling of credentials to carry into the arguments ahead." vox.com/policy-and-pol…
