I hope Hillary & the DNC destroy this charlatan.
Agreed. If he actually gave a damn about liberalism and not himself he would be kicking Daines' a** in Montana right now.
Or he could not risk his resources on a Senate run where Daines would probably be favored anyway.
Actually, PPP's June 2013 poll had Schweitzer leading Daines 48-45. Had he not known how much Reid and the Democratic establishment wanted to see him run and thus hold this seat, he probably would have ran. If he caved into Reid, it would have ruined his left-wing rebellion
This notion that Schweitzer would be a better President than Hillary is hilarious. His political career entails governing one of the smallest states; a state where Hillary was shown leading him by over 20 points and has subsequently failed to gain traction against potential Republican candidates, to. Amazing how he wants to repeatedly attack Hillary for crossing over party-lines and voting for the Iraq War, yet Schweitzer himself has proven he can't work in bipartisan fashion like Hillary can. He bypassed the Montana legislature to get single-payer healthcare which I support, but not when executive power is abused. If Schweitzer could get single-payer healthcare passed through Congress if he were President, I would personally admit that I was wrong about him, but not until then. He says the Presidency would ruin his life? Not as much as it would ruin our lives as Democrats.
Yeah, someone who always showed contempt for Washington and never expressed any interest in running for the Senate obviously only didn't run so that he could spite his party
