    First rule of getting bullied is never get mad and explain why the bullies are wrong

    Just spend a little bit to hire a private investigator to follow one selected member of the NRSC around and video them eating at fancy restaurants, telling racist jokes with lobbyists, buying hookers, IDK what the hell Republicans in Washington do but I’m absolutely sure that if you followed them around you’d find something. Total up what their dinner bills are for the month and illustrate the total. Ask them who that blonde woman is. You know, just kind of follow the data. Then put all of that into a campaign ad.

    The final segment of the ad can be you, sitting up on top of some of your farm equipment, panning around and showing your farm, and saying “When I’m not in Washington, this is what I’m doing. In Washington I drive a car. You caught me. The big problem here is me and my bleeping Prius. Hey assbleep: Get back to work. Quit having fancy dinners.”

    Then at the end is you getting in the Prius and driving away, with a voiceover “My name’s Jon Tester, and I approve this message.”

    You could rotate around among different members of the NRSC every month or two, if you wanted, and try to make a little viral sensation that would build your name recognition.

        Oh, absolutely you should. I’m just saying that the way that you do it matters.

        If you just say “hey you hurt me, that’s not fair, you shouldn’t do that anymore” and leave it at that, then there’s a certain type of person that will start to look down on you because of it. I don’t agree with it either but it is sadly how quite a lot of people seem to operate.
