must be good money in running for preznit.
I may need to throw my sombrero in the ring.
I get that some governors don’t want to run for senate because the environment in the Senate is toxic or because they’re not comfortable being in the legislative branch. But FFS can’t they sit out the presidential election? Can’t see anything special about him.
It will be Joe vs. Bernie et. al.
He better be a good fundraiser. Santorum’s tour bus might already be rented.
22 F-in candidates. We are doomed.
I WANT JOE SCHMOE For PRESIDENT!
It’s getting ridiculous now.
You’d probably get my support but it’d be a bad omen.
Since my pick never survives New Hampshire, I’d be dooming you.
But that’s a feature, not a bug, if you’re in it not to win it. 
Rumor is it flunked the emissions test.
I am much more disturbed by the Swiftian headline.
Here’s a modest proposal: Never, ever, ever put headlines like that back together…like ever,
With Breyer warning that we have a radical right wing Supreme Court willing to overturn decades of precedent, so control of the Senate has never been more critical, these mediocrities think their energies are better spent on these vanity campaigns where they can strut the national stage and pretend to be Presidential candidates.
This country is finished.
An interesting angle is that Montana, unlike North Dakota, stood up, or more precisely, slow-walked the fracking industry. Given the damage to groundwater and soils, not to mention the fact that it is just another form of carbon extraction, Bullock could be a large plus or large minus. Does anybody know about his record on dealing with frackers? To his credit, he got his JD at Columbia, so not just another Havad Loya. On the other hand, what a contrast to that other Columbia Law alum, Andrew Yang, who has pretty elaborate views on technology, justice and climate change. What does Bullock bring to the table? Also I hope “fair shot” is not a reference to his 11-year old son shooting his first deer.
He has a very good record as Governor, but he didn’t feature any of it in this ad except for…campaign finance reform and taking on Citizens United? Huh? I don’t see how this ad is a winning message. He really needed to get in early and mold himself as the Sherrod Brown of the race: the younger, labor friendly, health care friendly, no nonsense pragmatic liberal who wins in Trump country and can connect with blue state voters. There are a number of candidates who are running their presidential campaign as if they’re running for Governor or Senate of a red or purple state. Bullock, Hickenlooper, Bennett, and Klobuchar are examples. Screw it, even Seth Moulton has sounded better in terms of a national msg and focus than some of these folks.
I could be happy voting for him. We have a lot of good candidates and they are all a huge step up from the man infesting the office. I don’t know he will make it to the top of my list that I will vote for him and as long as he will fall firmly and enthusiastically behind the final candidate I have no problem with him running. Each candidate presents a different background and each is focusing on a different message (slightly). We still have plenty of time to get momentum behind a single candidate. I don’t feel options is a bad thing.
As each of the 22 gets their 15 seconds of fame the country is going to be going thru a process of speed dating for a President.
It is getting ridiculous…and yet, this guy will get more attention than Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris by the media as will other no-name-nothings in part because he’s a “moderate” that can appeal to “both sides”, and in part because he’s male (we shouldn’t fool ourselves there is already an inherent bias towards a male candidate in the MSM).
must be some very deep democratic pockets in montana; because this guy has fuckall name recognition in the rest of the country. hell, I bet 90% of the country wouldn’t be able to find the state on a map.
and keep in mind that bill deblasio thinks the country will rally around him – when the friggin city he’s mayor of overwhelmingly hates him.
Warren and Harris, my two favorites so far.
“We need to defeat Donald Trump in 2020 and defeat the corrupt system that lets campaign money drown out the people’s voice so we can finally make good on the promise of a fair shot for everyone,” he concludes to a crescendo of violins.
Which is a far more likely outcome with you trying to become a 50th or 51st Senator in the Dem caucus than with you becoming the 22nd hopeful in the Dem primary.
I don’t think many are going to get much coverage. Think of it more as a lot of people running for Vice President.
