Sheehy & Tester: Senatorial Race 2024 | Montana Broadcasters' Candidate Debates
ฝัง

- Among several political races this fall, Montana voters will have to select the candidate to fill one of our two seats in the U.S. Senate for the next 6-year term. Incumbent Senator Jon Tester (D) is being challenged by Tim Sheehy (R). Through this hour-long production, recorded live on Sunday, June 9, 2024, both candidates will have a platform to debate the issues important to Montanans, through a variety of questions posed by a select panel of four journalists from across Montana. Produced by the Montana Broadcasters Association, and funded, in part, by the Greater Montana Foundation.
This is one of the best debates I’ve seen in the last few election cycles. Both candidates really focused on the issues, and stayed away from personal insults and political dogwhistles.
This debate was done exceptionally well. I am also pleased that both candidates were respectful to one another and adressed the issues and didn't play "the game."
Regardless of your personal opinions about both candidates, you can't deny that this is how debates should be conducted and that both Tester and Sheehy were respectful towards one another.
What are you, gay? This isn’t the 20th century anymore
Hahahahif you are getting me to comment on it yes it was a good debate.
Only one brought up public lands and hunting and got my vote. Public lands and wildlife belong to the public, not the Stock Growers Association, outfitters, and private elite.
Sheehy Carpetbaggers go home! 🤮
🇺🇸 Montana for Tester 🇺🇸
That's why shehey is running!! For their own personal gain they want to probably turn it into golf courses or whatever.. Republicans today simply do not care about their voters they only care about their interests and other billionaires interests.
Well conducted debate.👍😁✌☺😉NO, censor please.
Rooting for you Jon Tester!
Mr. Sheehy sounds like he comes out of central casting at the Heritage Foundation.
Thank god
@@1863silvia A “well- oiled fish” that learned the talking points but was crafted well by his MASTERS. Be VERY Afraid of who his groomers were!
We , in our county,were fortunate today to have Mr. Sheehy as a guest speaker, in our city park, in Fort Benton, Montana. There is a lot of support for him in Chouteau County,,, Testers home county. Good luck to Tim!!!
He sounded like a guest speaker….from out of state. He was a “fast talker” which came off like a used car salesman trying to sell something but, l did not get a genuine feeling. Where’s the “authenticity”?
Tim went to every county in the state, gave out his personal number, I haven’t ever seen tester in my county. I had to reach out to him regarding a huge issues that thousands of people were at risk, and didn’t get so much as an email back. For me there is no question as to who is here for the people of the state.
@@CidYoung-REALTORwhat he say first your country before Ukraine border is common sense America first
💯 percent agree with Sheehy
Laura thinks it is okay to overthrow a free and fair election. Shame on you.
Enjoy paying $1,200 to hunt in his land. 😅
No matter who wins this race, I'm so proud of Montana for voting Tester in to begin with. He is one of the best senators in the country. We should be proud. I am. He at least tries to work with both sides. It's a shame so many flipped because someone said he was the enemy. It's shameful we're once again back to voting only within ones party.
Also, this is how debates should be. They stuck pretty well to the issues. Well done to both.
As a Republican. I would have voted for Tester if I lived in Montana. It truly is a shame when you have good choices like Larry Hogan and Jon Tester lose their races because of their Party affiliation.
It's quite rare to see the Republican being the more compelling, young candidate. So I'm shocked, this guy could perform at the presidential level for the republicans.
I see the Russian bots are acting over time here. Tee-hee has a lot of support in Moscow if these bots are any sign. Tee-hee looked like a kid skipping gym class and Sen Tester was on point all the way. Great job, Senator!! I'll vote for you.
Are you aware that the leftoid non-profit American Prairie agency, often criticized for its environmentalist agenda, is buying up large amounts of land? This could lead to the disappearance of farmlands and ranches, reduce property tax revenue since they are a non-profit, and potentially increase produce prices by renting out the land to farmers... and as far as the USPS, the fact that United States Postal Service doesn’t own or operate any aircraft. Instead, they contracted with companies like FedEx and UPS, but Tester has the audacity to vote for Biden and blames USPS for trying to fix their 7 billion dollar loss
budget problem… stop voting for democrat🤡🌍
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Russian bot. The media has rotted your brain.
Tester missed two congressional meetings day one didn’t show up day two didn’t show up on day two was voting for Montana’s economy. We pay him to be in these meetings and vote. We did not get a vote in that meeting because John tester did not show up.
Go Tim go!
I support Tim, but I also like that Tester is fighting for the Major Richard Star Act. I want to know how Tim feels about this Act and if he will fight for it if he wins the election. I think that he will because he is a Veteran, but would like to hear it from himself.
Sheehy without a doubt Montana, Tester is a swamper..
Good luck honorable US senator Jon Tester!
It is not the people coming to Montana that are making Montana housing unaffordable. It is Montana property owners that are listing their property for huge amounts, hoping for a huge payday. I don't blame them, we all hope to profit from our real estate. Just because people wanting to move to the wonderful state of Montana are able and willing to pay those huge prices, does not make them the bad guy. Blame the ranch owner who inherited his land, and peels off a few acres that are not farmable, or good for grazing, and lists them for a ridiculously high price. Montana needs to remain the conservative, God loving state that has made it the BEST STATE in the UNION.
Go Tester vote blue 💙💙💙💙💙
Go Tester
Sheehy For SENATE 2024!!!!!!!
tRump for PRISON 2024
Tester, mainly because he believes in the Freedom to Choose.
There is no such thing as freedom to deprive someone from their right to their entire life.
No one having sex doesn’t no the possible outcome of a child. With consensual sex YOUR choice was whether to have sex or not after that it is to protect the innocent life that has no choice. Perfect birth control that has never failed and an end to abortion debate, if you aren’t willing to raise a child don’t have sex.
Vote Tim Sheehy 🎉
Dullsville
Go John Tester!
Re-elect Jon Tester!
Tester spoke to the issues and slowly enunciated them compared to his breathless city slicker opponent who raced to get his cookie cutter responses out of his mouth.
Well CA senate debates & all need to be MUCH BETTER
Tester is a seasoned Moderate Legislator, the other guy is a Trump Puppet. Do the right thing Montana and keep Tester in office.
Excellent Debate Mr. Sheehy. You represented us conservatives well. Great speaker. Congratulations. Continue to STAND FOR LIFE. Every unborn deserves to live. My sister was conceived through rape, but she is still a TREASURE. Mothers choose life. Your babies are precious We know you care. I' m an outsider like you who loves Montana and lived here for 5 years. It's a free country. Thanks for making it possible by your service.
Why do you care about cells not even born yet dude
Montana is a pro-choice state. You will learn that in November, regardless of who wins this Senatorial contest. You will see the same thing happen in every state that has the courage to allow their citizens the choice of whether or not to allow abortion care.
@@EldeecueExactly. It's up to the States
@@crypticreality8484 The pro-life movement's biggest enemy right now is democracy.
@@waspwrap1235 leftoids also support late term and after birth abortion ... dude
My prediction on who will win Montana Senate race:
Tim Sheehy
I want Tester to win, but I think his time has ran out.
I agree, Montana has thick Republican DNA, Trump got 56% of the vote there in 2020. And we have become so divided even local politics have become nationalized. I’d love for Tester to win, but he likely won’t :(
Don’t be fooled by the “well oiled fish” who talks a good line like a City slicker. Sound bites just like MAGA millionaires out to protect their Tax cuts.
Go Tester
Tester wants to continue unconstitutional roevwade and continue feeding the blood of dead babies to the cult running the deep state
@@123ucr Sounds like you didn’t finish high school
Tester is huffing and puffing
Yeah sounds like a medical condition you having fun with that?
Jesus the dislikes on this. It's like, a debate, guys....why are you mad about this? Over a thousand downvotes to 35 likes.
Edit: Looks like they reset it at some point. It's now 105 likes to 1 dislike.
Tester is the REAL Montana politician. He represents the REAL values of Montana. Carpetbaggers go home (Gianforte, Rosendale, Sheehy). Columbia Falls for TESTER!!!
Yeah you said politician swans is for that the border is open 4 years this democrat administration is enemy for American values and traditional family wake up don’t leave the democrat destroy this beautiful country
Jon Tester for U.S. Senator 2024!
What wow you are stupid or dementia you prefers save others border countries before American border
Tester votes with Bernie Sanders 95 percent of the time and comes on here pretending to be a conservative
What is wrong with Bernie Sanders?
@@Shopmysthes a millionaire socialist
Tester is a conservative Democrat and tends to vote conservatively. He's basically a traditional Republican, but current Republicans have become so extreme it's hard to recognize them anymore.
@@sacadosify lol tester voted 95% with sanders and hols an F on the nra.
@@Shopmysthe is a self proclaimed Socialist. Socialism is just Communism for Dummies. Not that you are a dummy it is in reference to the books. Being in the Army I have lived in Germany where 70% of you income is taxed. Travelled to numerous other countries seen Socialism it is not what we want in America.
Tester you are so full of it. You voted against the Keystone pipeline.
on the border, tim sheehy said nothing substantive... tester gave a fact-based response! much better prepared
You mean just a bunch of words that means that Tester will still continue to let illegals pour in as he has done for years and years. Don't be fooled he is just trying to look like he cares so he will win. Let's go with a new senator and see if we get change.
did you know that Ukrainian soldiers are flying Nazi flags? anyway, are you aware that the leftoid non-profit American Prairie agency, often criticized for its environmentalist agenda, is buying up large amounts of land? This could lead to the disappearance of farmlands and ranches, reduce property tax revenue since they are a non-profit, and potentially increase produce prices by renting out the land to farmers... stop voting for democrat
🤡🌍
But sheehy did say "wide open border" 1,347 times in 15 minutes, so he must care. LOL!
@@amysowers977 Tester voted for Biden and seems unconcerned about nonprofit environmental organizations buying up land, which reduces ranching and farming. Since these groups are nonprofits, they benefit from tax breaks. Meanwhile, Tester criticizes the USPS for relying on contracted airlines for mail delivery-despite the USPS not owning planes and facing massive debt, a situation worsened by 'Bidenomics' and the economic fallout from COVID. Tester is way to extreme for Montana that's why I am voting red all the way, F your George Soros controlled media and politician puppets🤡🌍
@@amysowers977 That is a Republican Talking Point. If you’ve been following the Border at all you would know that There was a 20 Billion dollar Bi-Partisan Funding bill put together by a Conservative Republican Senator that was passed and ready to go to the House for ratification and Trump told Mike Johnson not to allow it on the floor for a vote because it would “give Biden conformity 2024 election”. So Trump tanked it, when it would have funded more border security, more judges, and better technology to detect illegal drugs being smuggled at border crossings. The Wanna-President told the House Leadership to tank the Bill that the Senate Republicans and Democrats had worked together to pass.
Conservatives simply believe abortion rights should be decided by voters at the state level. That is exactly what Trump has been saying for years. Nothing more, nothing less. Voters in Montana may not agree with voters in California, or elsewhere on abortion rights. This issue should not be a federally mandated issue. It should be voted on, and decided by the people who live in each individual state. Less federal control, more state control. What in the hell is wrong with that?
tester's final attack on Sheehy regarding Ukraine was deadly
Deadly? Really…lol
@@jackofalltrades5199 yeah, the Republican candidate is spitting nonsense on isolationism… he says America has to focus on its internal issues, and forget about your 80 year old commitments to NATO and other alliances in the Indo Pacific… well, good luck on that. Woodrow Sheehy is on the house…
@@coolbenardguedes1422nonsense? To be clear, are you saying that sending billions to the Ukraine, without oversight, or even discussion of a repayment plan is better for America than spending that money on securing our border for example. How about actually spending some of it, say 1 billion on veteran assistance, or even mental healthcare for those living on the streets that really cannot look after themselves. I appreciate the discussion, thanks.
@@jackofalltrades5199 spending it on Veteran’s assistance, you mean like the PACT act that allows veterans ho have been exposed to toxic burn pits to more easily gain access to healthcare. Oh wait, that has been done while the war in Ukraine was raging. maybe you believe that gutting your commitments to democracy and freedom is a lesser issue, well I say it’s that major one in this election. Redirecting funds to internal issues is a noble principle, albeit a totally inadequate one because soon, if Russia is allowed to advance into every country they want to without fear of consequences, there will be no borders and your funding for the “border wall” will be as good as the tax dollars you spend everyday on a yogurt that the next day is completely gone. More war refugees, more people coming to America from war torn nations, they will just find bigger ladders to scale your tax payer funded completely useless wall. While the War in Ukraine was raging, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, the biggest package ever on Manufacturing and on Climate, and I don’t remember the money in the package being smaller because too much money was going to Ukraine. When the Biden Administration wrote, along with the most conservative US Senators, a Border Bill that pretty much solved the fentanyl issue, as well as the backlog of cases of asylum seekers, I don’t remember the bill having a lesser monetary value because of the War in Ukraine. If fighting for freedom and democracy and against autocratic regimes or the supremacy of the Russia-Chinese axis in the enter world isn’t an enough value for you to defend aid to the countries that help the United States maintain their worldwide supremacy, although indirectly, then I recommend the USA to step off the high horse and just say you give up on fighting against Putin and any other world leaders who threaten the very principles you have for granted in your life. Stop being selfish and help others achieve what you have achieved. As I said, funding for Ukraine and internal issues aren’t mutually exclusive. The Republicans have to stop employing these stupid, deranged arguments that anyone with half a brain could dismantle. Than you as well for the discussion and read.

Tester, "I get things done". He bragged about the Infrastructure bill. What has been accomplished? Where did the money go? What else was in that bill that had nothing to do with infrastructure? Voting for pork filled Democrat bills, is not in the best interests of Montana or the U.S. Tester is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Everything is critically important for Tester lol
Vote Sheehy, save America
@@ddk6112 Limited English
Jon the boarder is not wide. You need to point out that your challenger doesn't know what he is talking about. He is a soldier taking orders rather than a civilian that knows. He using talking points that have been proven false. He uses the talking points of debunked foreign policies.
He talks about these things from talking points, he doesn't know policy. Make him talk what policies he support. He uses talking points that he knows he supports the draining of the forests. Just like Bison being killed off. When you say he is part of the problem say why he is part of the problem.
More USA citizens commit crimes than immigrants per 100 k

While I respect Tester, Sheehy is what is needed going forward
Who voted against voter ID.
Tester had a B rating from the NRA until he supported common sense legislation following the Sandy Hook shooting in Connecticut. NRA is a trash organization.

@@janmay7961 You should look up how much money billionaires give to Democrats, particularly in the Trump era. You might be surprised.
Also social security, government healthcare, and a union job aren't much good when Senators like Tester, Sanders, and Warren cause a crippling cost of living crisis via trillions in spending (post COVID of all times), facilitate the entry of 10+ million illegal aliens, and give billions in welfare to Ukraine's Azov Battalion.

I genuinely hope Tester wins, but unfortunately I don’t think he would win with partisanship even if he did receive endorsements from some republicans. Moderates like Hogan and Tester are likely not going to win this November.
Unlike Hogan, Tester is not a moderate. He sounds moderate, but votes with the rest of his party 95%+ of the time. If you did the research, you would know that.
Nobody with a F rating in the NRA should represent Montana
NRA is a corrupt lobbying group
This was much better than the pbs shit shoe
@@nerd185 I would’ve want to put my foot in that shoe!👠
lol as he stands there with 3,500,000 million what joke
3.5 Million is pretty average for assets in a large scale Ag operations with combines/land/etc like up in Big Sandy. Tim Sheehy has a net worth of $160 million, and owns an island on Flathead lake. He’s just your average Bozeman out of state millionaire

Yes. Please enlighten us. He's one of the best senators this country has. It's insane to me how many people flipped because Trump told them Tester is the enemy. We should all be so proud to have had this man as our senator. I'm very proud of Montana for keeping him around this long. But apparently the guy who can't keep his stories straight about anything is what we need. It's such a shame we're once again back to only voting for party at any cost.
Senator Tester has breathing issues. His large belly is pressing on his lungs stopping lung expansion or interstitial lung worms or perhaps both.
Ah yes, the lungs, well known to be in the belly area
REALLY
Jon has done a bad job we need a fresh start with Tim.
No carpetbagger for Montana, Sheehy is a disaster.
Ok! Ok! So you went to war. So did thousands upon thousands of brave souls. Doesn’t make you anymore special.
which of the candidates will take no pay like trump? they are both millionaires already.
They should take a paycheck from the American people. They are elected representatives. Not taking a paycheck is sus AF.
Politician that are millionaires, gee what is suspicious about that???
i suspect tester is a millionaire- yes. but his net worth i bet is 80% or so in the familly farm which is not liquid
