(86,579 posts)"listening tour" recently in Iowa and NH this month. He is thinking about his next gig which speculation indicates a run for the WH in 2020. He's a real Democrat, has done a lot for the people* of our state in spite of the idiots in the legislature, has the right stuff, was AG for Schweitzer. I'd vote for him, he's a progressive as far as I can tell..
*including the vast Native American population in our state.
