Wyoming and Montana have both in recent times elected Democratic governors. If Democratic candidates are in the same place on most issues as the voters, they stand a better chance of being elected.

Every candidate is going to be asked about guns, especially semi autos. Before any candidate gives one speech they should have that issue sussed up complete with a genuine opinion that uses non offensive vocabulary and doesn't cross any red lines. Most candidates blow this question because they ask the opinion of people like Tim Walz. Nothing is more fake than a Democrat trying to sound gun friendly by talking confiscation.

Amy Klobuchar has quietly earned support in the rural parts of Minnesota by voting the right way on an issue foundational to rural MN that flies completely under the radar in most of America. Wolves. Minnesota's moose population has been decimated but not due to any votes by Klobuchar.

A Democrat who is elected to a rural congressional district is going to have to be genuinely outside the mainstream of the party on some issues, get over it. If we had a couple more southern redneck anti abortion senators in 2015 Row would still be the law of the land, and Merrick Garland would be a supreme. Trump is able to push through the less appealing parts of his budget unimpeded for lack of two congressmen.

Senate and House majorities are made from a big tent.

Amy Klobuchar might be against wolves, but she's for men in girl's sports and for every other crazy Dem policy.
