1. I hope our governor runs for Senate...

I also wish that Daines had lost the one House seat we have, now he's even more dangerous.

Oh, and BTW, that gold mine next to Yellowstone NP that was defeated recently by NPS and USFS will ow be going forward as will a new phosphate mine in Southern Idaho that will ruin drinking water, hunting/fishing access and so much more... like a new dam on the Yellowstone River which is the longest undammed river in the US that will destroy sturgeon populations.

So, I hope you've seen Yellowstone NP and all the wonders of the wild because it's gonna be gone in a flash.

3. I wished that Schweitzer got appointed to the US Senate in 2013 and ran for a full term in 2014.

4. Not me...

by the time he was out of office I was not willing to ever vote for him again. He's a coal and oil shill, not healthy for our state and the whole planet.

5. Are you saying that Schweitzer who was popular with progressives when he ran for the US Senate in

2000 against Conrad Burns and for Governor in 2004 was a Sellout?
I wanted Schweitzer to run for the US Senate in 2013/2014 when Max Baucus resigned to became US Ambassador to China because he was the only Democrat that could have won a US Senate Race in MT.

6. Not willing to accept a trade off of

"the only Democrat who could have won" v. someone who has some moral fiber and willing to do the people's business rather than blend in will the coal, oil and gas crowd and delay transition to renewables.

2. We need the Senate more than anything else and it doable.
