Montana Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock says he “would” support an assault weapons ban

They arent single issue voters. I think a lot of people would be much more likely to vote democrat if they werent so violently antigun and didnt pander to social justice freaks.

Absolutely, free shit is always a voter magnet.

I'm sure he would vote for a blanket ban on guns, not just muh AR15 assault weapons.

So basically treason?

Yeah, when these people criticize things, they should at least know about what the fuck they're talking about, otherwise they come off as pretentious fuckwits.

Also, just read the article, if true, it makes me furious.

So why did people in Montana vote for him exactly?

I don't know why you are surprised, most people don't give a fuck.

Trump is quite incompetent as a president so I actually understand why leaders from both the military and the intelligence community criticizes him. I simply can't believe why so many news outlets have ignored or forgotten their own disputes with the intelligence agencies and their dark pasts.

more surprising is that they have a democrat governor in the first place

Constitutional Convention when?

Some graphucks fag needs to make badges and unit markings for the Constitutionalism faction during ACW 2.0.

He's not incompetent (he's a traitor to 2A though). Most of his perceived incompetence is media bullshit.

>I simply can't believe why so many news outlets have ignored or forgotten their own disputes with the intelligence agencies and their dark pasts.
look at this naive fuck and laugh

I understand that their common hate for Trump is overpowering but obviously what I meant is they can't see their own hypocrisy.

>they can't see their own hypocrisy
Who cares? They certainly don't, the public won't know unless theses news outlets reported on it (why would they actively delegitimize themselves by doing so), even then they wouldn't care or would forget in a day.

I don't fucking know, but these bleeding heart leftists, (((social scientists))), blacks and mexicans, have me feeling defeatist about the whole demographics thing. Hope yall enjoy the decline.

Because it's a political dogfight you fucking mongoloid. Are you really going to expect honesty from institutions that are in bed with each other and have consistently lied to the American public? Domestic propaganda has been given the green light. Our Republic is dead, enjoy the decline.

Maybe, just maybe. They are truly nihilistic and don't care about anything, other than archiving their goal of delusional utopia.

Also they have no sense of forethought, and everything is more relevant in the moment.

One of the big reasons Trump won is that as the Democrats get crazier and more extreme, more sane, non-extreme people vote Republican. Expect this trend to continue as the Dems stubbornly refuse to learn a damn thing from what's happened,

I found evidence of a US president colluding with russia!

The generic ballot poll for the midterms says otherwise.

>BLUE WAAAVE!
ok mr 99%

>>starts trade wars with EU allies, China and NATO ally Turkey
Ally is a strong word. We're the benefactor of the NATO and the UN and the EU is a giant socialist crybaby.

>>counter-tariffs fucks the average American and farmers
Not really, i haven't felt the effects yet and neither has the vast farming community here either.
As for Harley Davidson, that ship was sinking long before Trump came to office.

>>spends more time tweeting fake stories
Pretty sure his aids tweet a large portion of his twats.

>>golfs 100 times more than all Presidents combined
Yeah whatever, he's also fulfilled, or attempted to fulfill several of his campaign promises and it's only been a year in office.

>>is willing to ban bumpstocks
He is a piece of shit and can't read the 2A obviously.

>>trust Russians more than his own IC and military
I doubt it. He's playing them just like he's playing everyone else.

I have no love for the guy but he isn't any worse then King Nigger before him.

The only thing that matters is the results. Everyone swore up and down hilldog was going to win POTUS too.

I know but it's relevant because we are actually still involved in the Cold War.
The conflict in Syria has only reaffirmed my idea.

>no russia is an irrelevant shithole country
It's not. It's a shithole yes but what they do and are doing and planning on doing is still Soviet MO.
Think about the last 20 years, we have the invasions of Georgia and Crimea, assassinations of dissenters, an almost-proxy war in Syria, political espionage, plausibly deniable "mercenaries" trying to attack an American base, and i'm sure there are some others not on the top of my head right now.

Also the Cold War also involved China. Why do you think we care about South Korea so much?

So, what they're doing is basically what any upstart wannabe hegemonic power would do? Yeah i'd agree with that. Still mostly a vast shithole tho.

What matters a hell of a lot more than muh russia was the fact that some pretty insane and damning evidence of corruption in the DNC got sidestepped by a whole bunch of corrupt establishment scumfucks playing the blame game on russia.
The fact that barely anyone remembers what sparked muh Russia in the first place is beyond horrifying

Cold War 2 is shaping up to be the same East v. West dichotomy it was before. Only difference now is that China is the big bad and Russia is the secondary player.

>Still mostly a vast shithole tho.
No doubt. I remember when we sanctioned them over the invasion of Crimea and like two days later NBC had a story about how many Russians started killing themselves because they became so destitute.

I live in Helena, Bullocks going to be gone next cycle. This state is really weird as far as politics go, and the thing they like is Montanans protecting Montanans. Bullock hasn't been protecting them first and foremost, or at least a lot of people feel that way.

There's a symphony every summer at the Carroll College campus here in town. Only time I ever met Bullock face to face. He got hammered and gave a speech to like 5000 people in a Canadian tuxedo, they had to cut his mic when he couldn't get it back on the stand.

Shit was fucking hilarious I love it here.

>Trump is quite incompetent as a president
That's exactly why he's the best president since Eisenhower. I'll take incompetent evil over calculated and practiced evil any day.

Don't heap a community shitpile on Republicans because they're the only ones supporting your hobby right now.

Welcome to America.

Who do you rep, Bloods or Crips?

>I actually understand why leaders from both the military and the intelligence community criticizes him
That has nothing to do with his incompetence as a president. The military and intelligence organizations have operated effectively without oversight for decades, and have been allowed to consistently fail at their missions and lie about it without repercussion. They hate Trump because his scandal-infested administration has exposed their bullshit and he's not just letting it slide like previous presidents.

...

It's true. And conversely the more they lean in that direction the more voters they lose. Look at my state of Minnesota. We're blue, but it's because of farmers and unions, and the more they pander to the Technicolor-haired middle class freakshows the more that base abandons them to vote Republican. We almost went red in 2016 which for the only state that voted against Reagan both times is pretty astounding. Should be a wake-up call to the Democrats but of course they won't get the message, they'll just stick their fingers in their ears and screech about muh Russians and muh Nazis.

Did you know these fucking polling firms get their data by calling goddamn landlines of all things? Who the fuck has a landline other than Boomers in 2018? Of course they're wrong every time.

>Implying running against an absolute piece of shit like Hillary wasn't Trump's MVP

>Implying there's any meaningful difference between neocons and neolibs

>The generic ballot poll
Has been steadily narrowing with each passing week, to the point where midterms are genuinely starting to be considered a toss-up rather than a guaranteed sweep by the Dems. Four years ago the generic trended blue until September and then the Reps curbstomped.

>>Implying there's any meaningful difference between neocons and neolibs
>Who do you rep, Bloods or Crips?

You're right, I'm sure Trump needed Russians to help him win against what is widely considered to be the worst presidential candidate in modern history.

is his name really bullock?

>dumb nigger doesn't even have a high school level of understanding of probability

Democrat doesn't automatically equal anti gun at the state level, see that congresswoman from ND who has federal level Democrats complaining because she has opposed AWBs, "high capacity" magazine bans, and universal background check bills and has personally told Bloomberg to go fuck himself.

>Don't heap a community shitpile on Republicans because they're the only ones supporting your hobby right now.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the Republican support for raising the age for gun ownership and banning bumpstocks.

>I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the Republican support for raising the age for gun ownership and banning bumpstocks.
You're only reinforcing my point.
2A is worthless if you're not prepared to fight for it and it's obvious that gun owners aren't willing to fight for it.

Everyone says it's a God-given right but it's not, it's given, and right now, tolerated by the government until you're willing to use the 2A for what it was written for.

Here's how polling works.

They ask people a bunch of questions about who they are, and then a bunch of questions about politics.

And then they try and fiddle with the sample they got until it roughly matches the general population, by assigning a greater value (weight) to specific groups that are underrepresented in the sample. If the sample is older, richer, more urban and slightly more liberal than the general population (which is usually the case for phone polls) then you give conservative voters a greater weight than liberals, rural people a greater weight than urbanites, and so on. Republicans are more likely to tell you to go fuck yourself, even if you are a Republican.

The 2016 polls failed because this weighting didn't correctly predict how dramatically rural voters and low education voters changed in between 2012 and 2016. They got the popular vote totals off by less than one percent, but that's all it takes in a close election.

That's a very highly educated way to say "they thought they had it in the bag but they didn't realize that insulting conservatives was a bad idea"

>

A blind chimp could tell you how pissed off the typical midwest blue-collar felt during Obama's second term, yet somehow those pollsters completely cocked it up.

No, I'm saying they assigned a specific weight. ie. "because the sample we took was from 40% rural people and the voting populace is 45% rural, we'll assume that the voting populace is x% more conservative than the people in our sample."

That "x%," the difference between all people who answer surveys and all people who vote, changed much faster in between 2012 and 2016 than it did between 2008 and 2012.

>they didn't realize that insulting conservatives was a bad idea

Insulting your political opponents is usually a good idea. Trump won because he constantly insulted people. On the Democrat side, Truman and Johnson made successful careers by calling people crooks and morons.

Insults and conflicts are interesting and voters are naturally attracted to spectacle. Hillary's big flaw was that she was boring, uncharismatic, and passive aggressive.

>yet somehow those pollsters completely cocked it up

Because the people who were the most pissed off didn't answer polls, basically.

>blame Europeans for giving up despite us being modernized monarchies/empires and having no actual freedom whatsoever
Meanwhile americunts can't even defend their land and their law through violence by guns even though the first and second are quite clear.

>Insulting your political opponents is usually a good idea.
Yes, "basket of deplorables" and "47 percent" did absolute wonders.

People from montana are very aware a majority of gun homicides in past 25 years are handguns in an urban area of more than 1 million, males 18-24. They're not stupid and they won't vote for this guy.

>gets "insulting opposing voterbase" confused with "insulting direct political opponents"
I have no trouble at all believing you're a polsci queer, this is exactly what I'd expect from such a useless and brain-addled "profession."

>Insulting your political opponents is usually a good idea.
Hillary was running against half the country?

Frankly, the problem wasn't that those were insulting, it's that they were condescending.

Trump's insults worked well because they were the kind of insults that the average person themselves would make. The average person watching the TV could see that Hillary felt like some kind of criminal, Ted Cruz looked like a liar, and Marco Rubio was way out of his league

Turn that into "Crooked Hillary." "Lying Ted" and "Little Marco and you have political pay dirt.

This is the same way that Truman's "do nothing congress" insults got him elected in 1948, and McCarthy's red scare helped Eisenhower break back into the White House after 20 years on the outside.

You need something that the average person is thinking.

That's nice and all but how are you so fucking oblivious to clear-as-shit context?

"Welfare Queens" and "sending their rapists" worked perfectly fine desu

Montana is like Kentucky. A state that has historically elected Democrats at a state level, but increasingly voted Republican at a national level.

The reason is because "my state Democrats are different from the national ones". Which is increasingly untrue in today's environment.

>"my state Democrats are different from the national ones". Which is increasingly untrue in today's environment.

I REEEEEE'd because it's true

Montana Democrats are generally/used to be moderate.
