....in Montana with over 80% of the vote. He was my favorite dark horse in the presidential primaries. I watched one of his town halls and was so impressed that I sent his campaign a donation ten minutes later.

As "proof" he doesn't care about Montana.
Bullock will wipe the floor with him.

(29,148 posts)5. definitely the underdog move -- but Bullock is popular and trump is fading hard in Montana
so it's not a big surprise to see Daines look desperate. Bullock consistently and increasingly outperforms the democratic presidential candidate in his races (going back to 2012), while Daines's support is reliant entirely on party/presidential candidate support and his incumbency.

he's a popular Democratic governor in MT, which is a red state otherwise.
