I have a sea lion joke, but no one will have a polite discussion about why they don't like it

@jmullen2 There are limits to what I can accept and still vote/donate/volunteer for a party or candidate. You can insult me – that's free speech. You can condescend if you think that's the way to go but you have to know that accepting FP activism will scare a lot of voters off, not just me

@jmullen2 Real Montanans vs out-of-staters was a message failure that can be fixed with outreach and better messaging. Associating the party with Free P******** is much worse. That's not a "big tent" strategy, it's a policy position that does more than just blame a small group

@jmullen2 Supporting the Palestinian cause is not going to get MT Democrats the 20% swing they need to win elections no matter what the kids are saying, nor are there enough "no preference" voters to make up the additional voters you'll lose if Dems go that way

@jmullen2 "Come on in! We have free Palestine" is the message the party should adopt if it wants to lose by even larger margins

@JonBowzerBauman If all goes to plan it will be called the Maga Strip. Trump's property will be the Grand Philistine Resort and Golf Club

@Reilly2020 @SecretaryZinke @SteveDaines @TimSheehyMT @TroyDowningMT Any elected Republican in Congress knows they will face a Musk funded primary challenger if they oppose him, and MT Republican voters agree with what Elon is doing There's no mystery

@TonyBynum @jmullen2 I agree. Democrats aren't trusted on policy right now so voting in Republican primaries is the only way for moderate voters to matter. An alliance with the far left is not going to get Dems a 20% boost

@AugustadSays @jmullen2 I'll add "Bircher" to the list, along with "greedy out-of-stater" "ladder-up NIMBY" "bootlicker" and "genocide supporter" Montana Democrats really don't like me any more than Republicans do. There is no place in the party for normie-Dems, moderates or "transplants." Got it!

@TonyBynum @jmullen2 There is no place to turn if you're a moderate. Republicans don't need your votes and Democrats need you to be cool with the far left.

@jmullen2 Moderates are ~33% of voters, so-called transplants make up ~42%. Party leadership should start there

@quadsister @jmullen2 I thought "go back to California!" was the state mantra

RT @trouble_man90: You don’t get to sabotage democrats for a decade and then be upset that it worked and they can’t save you

@JasmineForUS They distrust every single thing Democrats say so they do not believe that medicine will cost them more under GOP policies. If anything they believe they are already paying too much because of Democratic policies/ Obummercare

@MikeMNugent Question I have is how quickly Greg and MT Republicans will fall in line if/when Trump declares that China is now an ally?

@Dragonfly_Darcy @Chiefstormsky @MTDems Keep scolding transplants then if you still think that's a winning strategy. I think we're ~45% of voters. "You suck! now vote for us!" is bad messaging

@jmullen2 also, nice hat!

@jmullen2 Pols have thicker skin than voters MT Democratic messaging is relentlessly insulting and that's no joke
