Democrat Steve Bullock takes on GOP. Sen Steve Daines in Montana

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic Governor Steve Bullock is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Steve Daines in a highly competitive race in Montana.

The candidates:

Bullock, an outgoing two-term governor and former Montana attorney general, announced he would run for US Senate after a short-lived 2020 presidential run.

As governor, Bullock was best known for working to expand Medicaid in the state, working to protect public lands, and successfully banning so-called dark money from undisclosed sources in Montana state elections.

Daines, a businessman and former US House Representative for Montana's at-large congressional district, was first elected to the seat in 2014 and is now seeking a second term.

1. Also a long time business partner of the body slammer who

took his seat in the House. Body slammer is running for Bullock's seat as Gov. for the third time. I hope he loses for the third time. Dem Gov. candidate is Bullock's Lt Gov.

4. Saw on article on Daines' hypocrisy re: SCOTUS recently

Here's my favorite bit: "During an interview at Montana State University in 2016, Daines stated that he believed it was not “right” to appoint a nominee within an election year.

We can learn a lot about politicians from their rhetoric and their actions. Unlike his colleagues, Daines did not adopt cryptic reasoning. By using the word “right” Daines made it clear that in situations such as these, there is a distinct right and wrong. Can we trust a politician whose opinion of right and wrong changes every four years? This time around Daines has supported the potential nomination of a new Supreme Court justice only week away from an election!

This time around Daines has used strictly political motivations to vote for a nominee. He has expressed concern that only a Trump nominee will protect Montana's way of life. He went on to define Montana’s way of life as “self reliance, less government, outdoor heritage, and second amendment rights”. It is highly unlikely that any Supreme Court will vote against outdoors activity nor will it stop Americans from being self reliant. It goes without saying that, any law that infringes on the second amendment just for the sake of it would be null and void because it infringes on a constitutional amendment. Daines’ claims are shaky and hypocritical. They lack an understanding of the role of the Supreme Court. It is shameful to use your constituency as an excuse to perform bad politics."
