Montana Gov. Bullock jumps into crowded White House race
Fox News ^ | May 13 2019 | Paul Steinhauser

Posted on 05/14/2019 3:25:19 AM PDT by knighthawk

Touting his ability to pass a progressive agenda in a conservative state, Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana announced his candidacy for president on Tuesday.

Bullock, who won re-election to a second term in 2016 at the same time as PresidentTrump carried Montana by 20 percentage points, highlighted in a video launching his White House campaign that “I don’t have the luxury of just talking to people who agree with me.”

“I go all across our state’s 147,000 square miles and look for common ground to get things done,” Bullock emphasized. “That’s how I was able to bring Democrats and Republicans together to fight dark money and pass one of the strongest campaign finance laws in the country.”

Montana just loves their liberal Democrats and consistently votes for them.

Maybe not; MT voted against Trump’s U.S. Senate choice in 2018, Matt Rosendale, even though Trump campaigned for Rosendale at least twice. MT has a wide Democrat in its heritage.

How does a state like Montana elect a member of a political party whose sworn blood oath is to abolish the second amendment and disarm the American people?

Could be fraud or maybe just lazy Republican refusing to cast a ballot

Well, after getting that Medicaid expansion, Montana will now learn the hard way.

No skin off my nose. Just scratched it off my list of prospective states to move to after we escape from NYS. Really liked Montana. Sigh.

If the public sector is the largest or one of the largest employers in Montana, there’s your answer.

WHAT can you possibly ask that each of the eleventeen candidates could answer that would have ANY meaning to sway a democrap vote ?

How would you, if elected, repress republicans in order to
save our democracy and planet?

Ho-hum. Yawn.

Just another unknown Lefty jumping into the deep end pf the pool with the rest of the crazies.

Claims he can get a progressive agenda passed.

Problem is, no one wants what he's selling.

Too many in the field now claiming the same thing.

He'll be gone quickly, like most of the democRATS in the race will be, because the donor money won't be flowing their way.

Rosendale was a bad candidate. The Republicans are terrible at picking candidates. There’s gotta be a conservative somewhere up there that could articulate and defend real American values.

The Democrat race for the Presidency is a joke of Gargantuan scale. Like Gargantua, the Democrat primary race is born as the result of tripe

Have you met any of your state’s Pubbie party apparatchiks? Cuz if they’re anything like mine, Never Trumpers to the bone, they don’t suck at picking candidates. They excel at it. Because they don’t care who wins as long as it’s not a conservative.

Heheheh...I have to admit, with each passing day and each new Leftist candidate jumping in head first, each of them trying as hard as they can to out-Left each other and driving the level of Leftist insanity higher and higher as they try to outdo each other...well, that clown car is going to be a bottomless vehicle!

Just...wow!

It is my belief that this huge clot of Leftists running for the White House is due to one thing: a complete and total mis-reading of the Trump candidacy and Presidency.

They believe that if someone like Trump can win, ANY of them can win.

They ALL think Trump is a game show host celebrity like Oprah Winfrey or Ellen Degeneres (Both of whom are likely to enter the race as well!)

They DON’T realize that Trump bloodied his knuckles, met deadlines, and created jobs and had structures built in probably the most cut throat real estate environment in the world...New York City.

They don’t understand that, and think if Trump can win, ANY of them can win, hence the Democratic Presidential Clown Car.

* Run for President as a "D" in 2020.
* Do not spend your contributions.
* Bow out.
* Write a book.
* Open the "xyz" foundation.
* Put left over campaign money and book money in the foundation
* Take a little off the top for "expenses" from "the foundation" and or hire all your dumb @zz relatives and if you rig it right @ $100k plus salaries for said dumb @zzes.

Does anyone see this, or is it just me, this is the Clinton Model....

BEST post of the day so far!

I had at any given time a 30 to 50 machine vending route.

Besides mafiosi wanting to steal or threatening to take your spots (I knew some people so I was good for the most part), people breaking into your machines unless you make it understood there will be SEVERE personal justice, and people using every trick from shooting seltzer into the coin slot to using a drill to get some money out, you gotta be tough to own just that.

Real Estate is that times about 1,000,000,000

I dealt with the low level mobsters.

Trump had to deal with AT LEAST the second tier. And they got orders from the first.

Its fixed. They are all going to follow DNC orders to make Biden look good during the scripted debates at the appropriate time.
