Opinion: Eric Schneiderman/Steve Bullock 2020?

[jmowreader]

Eric Schneiderman is the Attorney General of the State of New York. This is the guy who took down Trump's fake college. He is very strong against fraud, he's pro-choice...and he's quite handsome.



Steve Bullock is the current governor of Montana. He works well with both Democrats and Republicans. He's anti-Citizens United, a trustbuster, and with him on the ticket the GOP's standard "he's going to take away your guns!" attack on Democrats no longer works. When faced with a very large state budget surplus, he chose to return some of it to the people as rebates rather than tax cuts - and returned an amount that left the state with a surplus. (A tax cut will come back to bite you: it's impossible to reel the damn things back even if the government goes broke because of them. A rebate is different: you issue the checks, you're done, everyone's happy and there's no significant impact on future budgeting.)

1. Schneiderman is great and I am convinced he will be ready to run for POTUS

at some point. Maybe 2020 maybe later down the road. He's great. I've had the pleasure of taking with him a number of times. He really listens to people and engages.

2. I'd get behind Bullock long before...

I could back that coal shill, Schweitzer, even though he does back other Democratic candidates, like Quist. Bullock was Schweitzer's AG before he ran for governor. I think he's bound by a 2 yr term limit so of he were to run, I'd vote for him. He's been a good governor, got us expanded Medicaid even after the R legislature rejected it at least twice. I would be glad if he took that other Senate seat from what's his name, the TP toady.
