I like Steve as a person. One DIL went to high school with him and also thinks he's a good guy. He has also won his MT Governor races. But there was NO way that he is going to register nationally as a Presidential candidate among other stellar and better-known candidates that we have.
Brian Schweitzer was better-known nationally and even he wouldn't stand a chance in 2020, IMO.
What most pissed me off about Schweitzer ... and also about Bullock ... is that we NEED to replace Steve Daines as one of MT's Senators. Had Schweitzer run for the seat vacated by Max Baucus, we never would have had Daines in the first place. And if Bullock follows Schweitzer's precedent, we may once again have Daines in the Senate.

Btw: I seem to remember seeing a recent OP that listed Senate seats for 2020 with Schweitzer as a candidate for the MT Senate seat. I can find NO confirmation of that anywhere.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
