Listening to Senatorial Debate: Daines v. Bullock...

Daines is an asshole and I think he's going to lose his ass, he has no answers that make sense and is on the attack about shit he actually does. Talks the talk of the divisive POS in DC.


Complaining a lot about Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Schumer and "coastal elites". He even tried to taint Bullock by telling everyone that Jane Fonda held a fundraiser for him! The horror. Bullock makes sense and is calling upon his good record as a Governor and talks about bipartisanship, which he is good at, like Sen. Tester is.

I think Daines helped make the case for Bullock.

have had it with -45 and his sycophants, which Daines totally is and Bullock pointed out several times. Daines landed no blows on Bullock that were consequential.

Even Republicans in this state would vote for him and maybe Biden, while voting for their own party for the state legislature. I'm hoping the Dem will take our one House seat. She ran against Gianforte last time around but is looking better this time. Also, Bullock was good at reminding everyone that Daines voted against the first relief package and is against another one and had no answer about the AFCA except that people with private insurance can get through the pre-existing conditions barrier, too bad for the rest of us.

I hope I'm correct.

Sen. Tester and do his best to work through the obstacles, he's done it with a seriously opposing legislature for two terms, he'd do well in the Senate.

Daines was trying to make hay by pointing out that Bullock got an F rating from the NRA and made some callous comments about Bullock's views on gun legislation. Little does Daines know, Bullock's cousin, who lived close by when they were young, was the first victim of a school shooting in Montana. Daines made swing and a misses because he knows so little about Montana. Right now, I'd say it's looking good for Bullock.

Steve Daines is nothing but a tRump sycophant. He doesn’t even have the guts to hold a town hall where constituents might be able to show up and ask actual questions. He seems to believe he’s bulletproof. He’s not. I believe Montana has had enough.
