US Senate debate: Sen. Maria Cantwell and Susan Hutchison face off

[@ngankhong9029]

I'm glad this second debate let them talk for more than 3 seconds compare to the first one... :P

[@bryanhall7974]

Susan Hutchison is one of the best and most genuine candidates for Senate that we've had in a very long time, maybe ever. What a refreshing change of pace it would be to have this woman in office! Go Susan!

[@bryanhall7974]

@@b_uppy I didn't even realize that Spokane is a "sanctuary city" before this debate. How disgusting. I'm sick of these career politicians like Cantwell who would rather waste our tax dollars rewarding invaders for breaking the law than giving help to law-abiding citizens who need and deserve it.

@@bryanhall7974 unfortunately it appears Cantwell will win again ughhh even her name speaks of her actions, Cantwell = Cant Do Well.

And this is why primaries are so important...

[@bocman9]

Cantwell “this is so important” blah blah cue bland talking point just about every response. Obviously all these topics are important. But she shows no spark whatsoever when talking about them. She’s done very little to work across the aisle. She’s just an extra vote for Patti Murray. Term limits!!!! She’s been in congress far too long.

[@cheeky7036]

Cantwell wants to put her lack of work on our law enforcement and give them props for it. She belongs in the swamp.

[@groundbeef174]

You belong in my life 😍😍😍

[@freshnorthwest6756]

what do we do now Lisa?? it appears that swamp monster Cantwell is going to win again ugghhhhh the people that vote for her tend to be people that dont even know what she stand for ive noticed... as long as she has Democrat next to her name there will be mindless followers that continue to support her even though she has done next to nothing to help this state in ways she knows she SHOULD be doing.

[@cheeky7036]

@@freshnorthwest6756 That's a good question! I honestly have no idea. I have a feeling things are going to get much worse in general for this country with the looney bins of the Democratic party running the house. And the gun initiative that passed here is going to cause people to go up in arms. I know many people who are in the military or work for the DOD and there are some that are seriously planning on moving out of the state because of it and others that will go down with a fight because they won't let their 2nd ammendment rights be infringed on. They will be able to come into your house and check your guns and so forth. It's insane! Democrats are taking our country down the road to socialism. Trying to keep our cool and push forward with our American values and core principles is the best we can do. That's only going to go so far though I have a feeling before we are in a straight civil war fighting for the life of America as we've known it.

[@freshnorthwest6756]

@@cheeky7036 i worry about our HIPPA law and the gun amendment... who all is going to see our medical history?? who are these so called "level headed" people that are supposed to determine who is safe to own a firearm and who isnt?? im worried that 1 stint of temporary depression will make it so a person cannot get themselves a firearm sooner than later!! there will be excuse after excuse to disarm good citizens that simply want to protect themselves. You sure never see outrage at a good citizen that stopped a crime because they were legally carrying an arm!!! you sure NEVER see that!!! you see people who are thankful and anyone i know that had an issue with guns ALWAYS changed their minds about it after one saved their life or if they witnessed it save another humans life. im curious, how u do feel about underage High School kids using scare tactics to get people to vote on that gun initiative??

[@Bobbie2812]

Susan did us proud...

[@johnthomas7629]

Hmm Cantwell totally dodged the question about supporting a border wall to reduce drugs and illegals from crossing from Mexico into the US. She also dodged the question about "does she support sanctuary cities" and spun it around to say she supports law enforcement.

[@PudgeFree]

Shame they didn’t really answer how to help pain patients because that’s becoming a massive problem as the government fights illegal opioids, legal ones for legal uses are being caught in the crossfire because doctors are so afraid of getting in trouble for over prescribing opioids even when they’re under prescribing them. They’re the most effective pain medication we have ever come up with and people are severely suffering without legal access and often turning to illegal sources and self medicating which just causes even more problems.

[@DontLieBoutStuff]

As a political independent, I for one Think it's time we elect someone who CAN well not someone who Can'twell. I have written several letters to maria over the years asking her to please support or appose issues that would effect Eastern Washington in different ways but she always replies implying that she will be voting on party lines. Every time.

[@leeblakeslee6698]

If there is no time limit...why not let them finish the sentence?

[@nathanielslattery7789]

Is it just me or do they ask cantwell to respond twice as often? They were cutting hutchinson off in the beginning and they stopped when she asked why they were doing it, but then they gave two followup questions to cantwell for every one they gave to hutchinson

[@terrancemiller6527]

Cantwell wants to turn marijuana into a damn pill lol u gotta be kidding me... when big pharma gets involved it will only get worse and will only bring on more restrictions to people who care for themselves by growing or having a caretaker that does... we do NOT need big pharma involved with legal marijuana, in no shape or form will that help us advance it will only make marijuana more political and we all know when that happens it goes to crap!! Cantwell saying Go Cougars was a pathetic attempt to try to relate to the people here, very very sad attempt... and its GO HUSKIES!!! lol

[@jkiter6879]

Cantwell's community service, is working relentlessly as our Senator across the aisle to pass programs for all in our State, she listen to us. We need Cantwell's experienced clout to get things done; instead of another media person with no experience, except working for the Republican party. Don't throw away your vote to a person not capable of delivering much for our State. Listen to her talking about markets = supporting families.

8 minutes in and Susan is stuttering and sounds like she doesn't know what she is talking about. She also spends more time attacking instead of answering questions. Embarrassing

[@gracedwithbeauty5233]

It’s the republican way. Why would you expect her to be articulate and focused on the questions.

[@112801j]

I would disagree. Most open minded individuals will listen to both parties and vote for the one who most aligns with their viewpoints. I'm sorry, but spouting off insults instead of providing answers is in line with our current administration, but is off putting to most of us who actually care about the issues facing our state and country.

[@bryanhall7974]

Cantwell's argument: "I'm doing a great job, I'm listening to all of you, I'm taking care of every problem. No need to replace me." So the burden is on Susan- who is the challenger, after all- to prove that this argument is not true. She is using what little time she's allowed to show the audience that Cantwell needs to be replaced, and that she's the one to replace her. "Insults" has absolutely nothing to do with it.

[@nicklava8307]

Really, I didn't see that. I thought see nailed it, she's not a robot but she is clearly the better of the two.

[@ratbastard3164]

What is embarrassing is that you are more interested in polish than substance. I listened to the entire debate and if you thought Susan spent more time attacking than speaking substance, you must not have been listening. I can tell you that Senator Cantwell's feelings were not hurt, after all, she is a polished politician.

#Susan4Senate is 1000x more likely to say no to Trump if it's not good for Washington than Maria would be if it was good for America. She's not all about Resist Trump but more about Washington State and America First. That's what hope for.

[@RomeoX-bv4et]

Nick Lava Maria cantwell has done what's good for Washington as well and she has always done it. Susan Hutchison like most republicans are sheep and will do what republican leaders will say if Ivanka trump can't convince trump what makes you think Susan Hutchison will it's a little hypocritical that she calls Maria cantwell an obstructionist when Susan Hutchison would do the same.
