Max Baucus Last Gift to Montana?

Word on the street is that Max Baucus is sitting on close to $2,000,000 that he would be legally allowed to use or pass on in interesting ways, as James Conner’s says on Flathead Memo.

  • The money could be donated to the Montana Democratic Party. It could be converted to a political action committee.

  • Max could, of course, donate the money to help Syrian refugees survive abroad until President Trump retires and immigration sanity returns to the United States. Or he could return the money to the donors, perhaps with a nice card picturing Zeno with a note reading “I’m proud of my son, Zeno, who is running his first campaign for public office.”


  • Thanks to James Conner at the Flathead Memo for this information. He does great research and writing. More from his piece.

  • I don’t know Zeno. Until I learn more about him, I don’t know whether I would support his running for office in 2020. But I generally take a dim view of political dynasties, a dimmer view of blue dog Democrats, and have a very dark view of today’s identity politics Democratic Party. The party needs new blood, and men and women who can retain their liberalism while making a cultural connection with rural voters and white working-class men. That’s why I’ve endorsed Rob Quist for the Democratic nomination to replace Zinke.
