...I think that, even in a significant field, I bring some things. I'm the only one in the field to run in a Trump state. He took Montana by 20 points in 2016, I won by four. About 25 to 30 percent of my voters voted for Donald Trump. I want to believe there's still a premium on getting things done along the way.
Couple people got up afterwards, called me a communist or something for pushing Barack Obama's program. Probably the fifth person was the chair of the county commission. Not even from Choteau, he was a rancher from Bynum. It's population 50, sort of a suburb of Choteau. But you know, he got up and said, 'I was born in this hospital. This hospital saved my life two years ago. If we lose this hospital, this town's gone.
...And, you know, I'm not so naive to say Montana is exactly like Washington, D.C. I know that you think of Montana, small. It's got a bigger population than states like Delaware or Vermont. But...how I've gotten things done in Montana is I tried to build relationships with Republican legislators, as well as my Democrats, but I don't rely on those legislators and those relationships alone. I go out into the communities and try to pull the politics out of it.
