'We need her badly' --- Trump backs Rep. McMorris Rodgers in Wash. congressional race

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump has waded into a hot Eastern Washington congressional race with a warm, superlative-laden endorsement of incumbent Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers.

McMorris Rodgers, a member of the House Republican leadership, is "an incredible leader," Trump said, and needed to "keep building" his Make America Great Again agenda.

McMorris Rodgers is being pressed by Democratic challenger Lisa Brown in her GOP-leaning Eastern Washington district, which stretches from the British Columbia border to the Oregon border.

The 45th President, using his favorite form of communication, tweeted the endorsement Tuesday amid a series of congressional endorsements:

"Congresswoman @cathymcmorris of Washington state is an incredible leader who is respected by everyone in Congress. We need her badly in D.C. to keep building #MAGA. She has my Strong Endorsement."

Trump carried the 5th Congressional District by 13 points over Hillary Clinton two years ago. What polling has been done, however, shows voters in counties along the Washington-Idaho border evenly divided on the 45th President.

3. He likes here for on reason

She does whatever she is told to do, and rubber stamps trumps insane agenda.

She used to be my rep. but now I have Newhouse, who isn't much better. I think McMorris Rodgers needs to find a new job and we need someone who will not bow down to trump in her place. Brown seems to be the right person for Cathy's job!
