Perfect candidate to run against a republican. He would need to resign from his senate seat, spend millions of dollars of dem. money, drop out before primary and disappear from Oregon history.

Rick Lewis

Dem

Tim Lester

He will take a principled stand on issues that serve the public good. He has the courage, conviction and dedication to take this stand for us. Yes, Absolutely!

my god it can get worse

Bradaigh Holt

He’s an out of touch with reality idiot!

Nigel Ballard

I'm a Democrat and believe Merkley is a good man, but I've met him and seen him speak in person. He literally sucks the energy out of a room and doesn't possess the persona to get us back into the WH

Brandy Barr

HE IS A JOKE! HE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OPINIONS AND THERE IS NO WAY WE WILL LET OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE!!! I HAVE VOTED RED ALL THE WAY AND ALWAYS WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kenneth Swipies

"Voted red all the way". Well, communism is red, however, so is a closed mind.

Kevin Crabtree

idiot

Ka San

Why? He is not nationally known, like a Rubio or a Kasich. It would guarantee another term for the idiot who now occupies the Office,

Pam W

I don't even know how he keeps getting elected to the office he has. He is worthless.

Dave Voiles

Merkley is waaay too far left. He talks big, produces nothing that makes Oregon better.

Douglas E. Wilson

He is an idiot an just impressed with himself!

Greg Shoffner

He is the most divisive Senator we have. He is a propaganda driven, progressive left politician that has no care for the real people he represents. Can't stand him. Sorry.

Sharon Brackett

What's he done for Oregon?

Kenneth Swipies

While I like Merkley, he does not have the personality to run.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

He's respectable, but still partisan and too far left.

Sue Helms

This guy is the black hole of human emotion and he is trying to suck you dry if you're that stupid

sharder8

Talk about an embarrassing thought . . .

Sharon Catania

He's ignorant of what the voters need in Oregon. So, no, he should not run. He does not have the expertise to even be a senator.

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Yes, and do some more logging and cleaning the forest

Oakley Taylor

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Oakley Taylor

Bravo!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Oakley Taylor

True dat.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

Yay to you!

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

Oakley Taylor

So true.
