      Bullock's opening joke: "I'm not here to tell you that my great grandfather founded Henry county. I'm not here to tell you that my great grandmother was born in Ottumwa."

      Takes Bullock just a couple minutes to start in on Citizens United. "You see tax laws being written for the wealthy. You see environmental laws being gutted for the polluters."

      Lots of heads nodding when Bullock talks about division. "Forget about cable news. Forget about Twitter. You can't even have a conversation with family at Thanksgiving."

          Bullock explains that he launched his bid only after extending Montana's Medicaid expansion. Rolling through his record, this is the applause line: "Protected a woman's access to her own health care decisions."

          "Where it's Montana or Iowa, whether it's Michigan or Wisconsin, we can't just go to places where we always win. We have to go to places where we've lost, where we've had setbacks."

          Bullock reminds crowd that Democrats ran all of DC when Citizens United came down. "They talked about it. They gave speeches. They raised money. But they didn’t do anything."
