Steve Bullock is the guy for 2020.

Out of everyone that's been named, one stands out as the best possible choice and that's the Montana governor.  Why?

1. He's an executive with experience.  This matters a great deal more than a Senator.  By 2020, he will have been Governor of a red state for eight whole years.  In 2016, he was the most popular Democratic Governor in America.

2. He's from a rural state that Obama almost won in 2008.  He can truly speak for rural Americans and contrast himself with Trump, the billionaire.

3. He's progressive enough for rank-and-file Democrats, but conservative enough to appeal to swing voters.

4. He can choose someone like John Lewis from Georgia or Val Demings from Florida to balance out the ticket- a black Southerner.

5. He is young enough to do the job.  Right now he's 51.  Bernie Sanders is 75, Elizabeth Warren is 68, Joe Biden is 74.

6. He is likable and friendly, and after four long years of Trump's childish tweets and tantrums, he'll be a grown up.

7. He's a white man and I hate to say it, but he will not be the victim of racism or sexism, and it would be easier having him at the top of the ticket.


One thing that is very important is that he has to win the support of African Americans, but otherwise I think he'd be great in Iowa and New Hampshire, two very white states with rural voters.

He's the best candidate the Democrats have, in my opinion.

putting this in a commercial would also be great:

I think out of all of the other candidates, he's the most likable, but in my opinion- and i don't mean to bash the other contenders- but the whole Democratic field is kinda mediocre.  I see a lot of ambitious U.S. Senators but very few people that actually really have the experience needed.  None of them seem to have the military experience I'd like to see.

Joe Biden is the most experienced, but he's already 74 and his 2008 presidential campaign wasn't that good.  I think he leads in the polls because he was Vice President and has an image as a very decent likable person.

I accept the criticism of Steve Bullock, but I think what I like about him is that he seems genuine and authentic, at least for a politician, and I like the idea he comes from a small state where he's spent most of his life.  Sometimes the big-state politicians aren't the best choices despite having bigger profiles in the national media.
