Brian Schweitzer 2020?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Brian Schweitzer is the best man in America today, so the Democratic Party of 2016 would not be choosing him in all likelihood.

I prefer Bullock to Schweitzer.

Well, in fact it's the Democratic Party which became totally radical and polarized over the years. No one can survive a Dem Primary without either massive minority or socialist/socially liberal support. It is far more possible that a Moderate earns the GOP Nomination than the Dem Nomination.

Schweitzer would be a very dangerous opponent in 2020, thank god he won't be it.

Eh...Hillary Clinton just won the dem primary earlier this year. Before that Obama, Kerry, Gore and Clinton won. Whereas the GOP just nominated Donald Trump over a whole bench of "electable" republicans. So where is the evidence for this outlandish claim?

Going to make an EffortPost about running this sort of Dem in the Dem Primaries tomorrow (I'm prevented from doing so now by a paper I have to finish) but for now I'll say this:

It will be very difficult for a Plains Populist to access the levers of Democratic power such that they can secure the nomination. They aren't really numerous enough to be a clearly defined faction within the party, and all major factions of the party have reasons to be somewhat skeptical of one.

I'm going to be such a Schweitzer hack for the next four years it is going to become unbearable.

A "Plains Populist" is more agreeable to every major faction than every other major faction is.
