Democrats hate Greg Gianforte. They always will.
There’s no point in Gianforte catering to Democrats. In fact, he might as well just oppose whatever they want. Even if he gave them a few things, they’d still hate him.
So let’s give up on the popularity contests, alright?
Just be who you are, and to hell with ‘em.
Like the talk that there’s no town halls and no public schedule and that Gianforte is trying to avoid voters.
Who cares?
A bunch of people getting paid to send out tweets all day?
Good. Let them grind their teeth.
For those of us that still have our sanity, let’s focus on where Greg is.
Mostly, it’s here in Montana and in D.C.
You can tell this pretty quickly. Greg has a representative page and then another page for his gubernatorial run.
I checked those out and found these images I’d like to share.
This image is from the '18 rallies, and it's a good one. Montanans love Trump, and Gianforte will ride his coattails into the governor's office. Another great benefit of this photo is how much Democrats hate it. When Democrats hate, they lose a bit of their control, get off-message, and mostly just hurt themselves more than they hurt their opponents.
Here's an image of him in Browning last week, discussing the issue of meth and how it's killing our tribes
Last week he was speaking with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe about missing Native women
Here GG is at a machine shop somewhere, listening to a young worker tell him what she does and how this helps our state
I don't know what this young student is showing GG, but these images are great. I think the best images that Gianforte puts up are him standing back, letting young students tell him what they're working on. These resonate.
GG likes to hunt. Many Montanans do. These images will work well. None of the Dems will have them. Many Dems are like me - we grew up in the cities, and our parents didn't hunt so we never learned.
Do you think he cuts it all up himself? I don't think many do. He's doing a lot more than many people, however. And he's not afraid to get a little blood on him.
Somewhere in August, probably at a fair. Yet another great image of GG standing back to let a young person do the talking.
GG also has videos on his Facebook page.
- On October 17 he posted a video of himself addressing Congress, speaking about yet another missing Native American young woman.
- On October 19 he put up a video of himself addressing Congress, speaking in favor of his bill to rename the Missoula post office after Jeanette Rankin.
Jeez...I thought Republicans were supposed to hate women, and Indians?!? What the hell is he doing honoring Rankin and talking about tribes?
Guess that's just Democratic propaganda.
More from his Facebook page last week:
“I recently wrapped up my 2019 tour of our state’s 56 counties. Traveling to every corner of Montana, sitting down face-to-face with folks, and listening to their concerns is the only way I know to do the job. I look forward to continuing to crisscross the state and meeting with Montanans where they live, work, and raise their families.”
I think Gianforte likes going around the state and listening to people, hearing their concerns and the problems they face.
He’s been doing it for nearly 5 years now. It’ll be nice for him to take a break from that in January 2021. He’ll be able to sit down behind that governor’s desk in Helena, where he can stay and work. I think he’ll still travel around a lot, though.
He likes people.
Now, to the opposition.
Tim Fox is feeling very threatened by Gianforte. In fact, when you type in “Greg Gianforte Montana” into Google, the #1 result that comes up is a paid listing called “Greg Gianforte Failed | Not a Conservative”
Tim Fox paid for that. Fox is already playing defense. Gianforte just has to ignore him while continuing to talk about the issues. Fox is too busy attacking to talk about the issues. It’s the same problem Dems have nationally - they have no issues, just attacks. There is no path to victory with this strategy.
