Washington GOP Chair Susan Hutchison has gone off the deep end with Donald Trump and it’s time for her to go before she sinks the rest of state’s real Republicans — the ones who actually stand a chance of winning.

If we’re going to be serious when we decry Teddy Kennedy and Chris Dodd grabbing a woman and joking about making a ‘waitress sandwich’ of her, and Bill Clinton’s abuses and Anthony Weiner’s perversions, we have to be consistent. Hutchison’s response to Donald Trump’s disgusting tape — that “he was a Democrat” — is a party-bought poison.

Because he said it then, it’s all fine now? Ridiculous. And that’s the tip of the iceberg on Hutchison.

She’s extending a lot of political capital on Trump, who is statistically less than 5 percent to win this state. It’s one of many things with her, but it’s a bizarre decision to support this guy.

I think the days of spinning every misstep to benefit the party are over. I think people have woken up to that game. Her job is to get the conservatives who actually have a chance, such as gubernatorial candidate Bill Bryant and senator Chris Vance, elected. Instead, she has effectively cut those guys off.

What motivated many politicians to jump over to Trump in the first place was fear for their career. They now jump away for fear for their career. The problem with Hutchison is she should never have jumped in the first place, and, maybe even worse, you don’t see her out in front of gubernatorial race or senatorial race. I see her focus as Trump, who will not win this state.
