God damn you are predictable. I knew you'd come back with this kind of statement, so I held back the reason why Republikkkans even have a chance of winning the gubernatorial election.
The reason Republikkans have a chance this fall is because the owner of Nike is funding the campaign of a former Democrat who will split the vote. So, this isn't about Republicans changing people's minds, it's about a Democrat selling out to a wealthy Republican. Republicans can't win without shenanigans. This year, they can't win back the legislature because Democrats Gerrymandered the shit out of this state. Turnabout is fair play. So, what will come about if Republikkkans should manage to win the governorship is yet another Republikkkan's failed term in office. In any case, most polling agencies list Oregon's governor race as leaning Democrat. That's with Knight's thumb on the scale. Without it, Republikkkans have zero chance.
We will outlast your party's bullshit.
