(52,703 posts)As I type, a third of the country thinks Hillary Clinton's got horns and a tail. The same third would accept the Democrat Schweitzer for the same reason they'd accept a nonwhite Republican: "the boy's all right for one'a them people."
The biggest reason we need Schweitzer? He's you. The Republicans have long relied on antipathy toward the urban professionals we run for high office - that damn Demoncrat don't know what I go through, he don't hunt, he don't fish, he don't know what it is to do an honest day's work. (Because, you know, the only "honest day's work" there could possibly be is manual labor outside.) Schweitzer's different: He ranches cattle in Montana. Schweitzer's biggest advantage is the ability to go to the Typical Republican Voter and tell him, "I know everything there is to know about pitching hay, digging ditches, meeting a payroll and castrating calves. I also know everything there is to know about how the Republicans are screwing you and me at every turn; let's talk about that for a while, okay?"
