Will Steve Bullock run against Daines in 2020?

[I’m not Stu]

In 2020, will Bullock run for Daines's seat and get the Democratic nomination?

[Maxwell]

I hope so.

I doubt it.  He would probably run for President.  I can't imagine Montanans voting for a 2nd Democratic Senator and I doubt Tester will lose in 2018.

They had two Democratic senators up until 2015, and Baucus consistently got reelected since the late 70s. What's stopping them from doing it again? And don't say politics have changed, because if they have, then why did Bullock get reelected?

[JMT]

I hope so.

[windjammer]

Probably not

[Chief Justice Keef]

Hopefully, if he decides not to run for president. I'm pretty certain he'd defeat Daines in a good year for Democrats.

Sorry but politics have changed.  Montana isn't a swing state anymore (remember that Clinton had won Montana).  Bullock won for the same reason Baker and Hogan won.  But hey I hope I'm wrong.

It's not a swing state, but Democrats can still win state and local races every now and then (Trump won Montana, but that did not bring down Bullock; I can see there being a large group of working class white Trump-Bullock voters; in WV, Jim Justice won an open-seat gubernatorial race; Irvine, CA voted for Hillary Clinton, but also voted for incumbent GOP Congresswoman Mimi Walters and elected Republican Steven Choi to an open Assembly seat). Did you expect Bullock to lose when he ran for a second gubernatorial term?

[MT Treasurer]

Perot got 24% of the vote in Montana in 1992. Obama's narrow loss in 2008, when he got 47.1%, was much more impressive than Bill Clinton's "victory" with 37.6% of the vote. And Montana has never had problems with voting for Democrats for Senate and Governor, so not much has changed on that level.

[Hindsight was 2020]

No because he will be on the ticket either as pres or vp in 2020

[morgieb]

I hope so. Makes more sense than a long-shot run at the Presidency, anyway.
