MT-SEN 2020: Time for Bullock?

[Mr. Smith]

Bullock would be a great candidate, and of course our best shot to win this race. He's a Scott or Hassan. I hope he hasn't gotten it in his head to run for President.

Unfortunately, it looks like he has.

I think he will probably run for President. But, assuming he doesn’t make it far, he could drop out of the Presidential race and then run for Senate. I think that will possibly (perhaps likely) happen. .

Dropping down to a Senate race from a failed Presidential run would doom his Senate candidacy before it began. Look what Presidential runs do to non-runner-up primary losers in their home states

Yeah, Rubio really got screwed over in 2016.

He lucked out when Dems didn't nominate Grayson. Grayson had a lot more cajones than Privileged Pat.

[Mr. Smith]

Time to run for president.

I don't know what filling deadlines are in Montana. If Steve Bullock is out by the end of the year of the Iowa, he might just keep his campaign appartus up and jump into the senate race. If he doesn't, Brian Schweizer should run instead

Have we not learned the lesson here enough times already?!

Schweitzer is higher energy and than Tired Phil or Different-State Bayh, not to mention he's already run a close race before.
