Hmmmm.

“Everybody is saying you can get everything for free."

That sure sounds like a right wing talking point against Democratic candidates...

With his own Presidential campaign withering away, is Bullock now playing to the more right wing constituency back home in Montana?

1. No he is not.

[Merlot]

2. Yes. Next question?

If a candidate's only claim to relevance is that he wins in a red state and works with republicans, expect great bashing of progressives, and more subtle bashing of democrats in general.

4. Well put.

10. That NOT his claim...

It's that he achieve progressive outcomes with a Republican legislature. However, progressive isn't limited to MFA and GND.

8. I just wish he would run for the Senate.

He is not going to be the dem nominee, so take on Daines!

Do it for the country, Governor.

9. Yes. "Free stuff" is a widely used Republican talking point.

They use it constantly, usually in the same sentence with "socialism". He could campaign on his agenda using different language.
