In Montana, cowboy Democrat looks for anti-Trump election win (Gag alert!)

Can a guitar-strumming cowboy poet strike the first blow at the polls against President Donald Trump? Democrat Rob Quist reckons he can do just that, in Thursday's closely-watched special congressional election in Montana.

Quist croons at campaign rallies and writes poems for supporters. And as a first-time candidate for public office, the 69-year-old is running an unexpectedly tight race against a Republican businessman in Big Sky country.

The lead once enjoyed by Republican contender Greg Gianforte "has diminished in polling so much that it's miniscule," Jeremy Johnson, an associate professor of political science at Carroll College in the state capital Helena, told AFP.

This is Montana. Thwacking a reporter, and a foreign one at that, might help the GOP.

NEWS FLASH!!
Greg Gianforte, the Monatanan running for Congress who body slammed UK reporter, Ben Jacobs last night has changed his party affiliation to Democrat!!!
All charges have been dropped. The media now believes he was justified and the initial reports were exaggerated. The Russian are believed to have paid the UK reporter to “collude” and provoke this action to help in the election outcome.
The Sheriff’s department announced this morning that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute because,although reckless in his behavior, there was no “intent” to break the reporters glasses.

SAMPLE COMMENTS-—Just wondering if Democrat Rob Quist mentioned infanticide..... or mercy killing of the disabled..... as a winning issue?

Democrats just lost a race-—in Omaha-—the race that got caught in the abortion debate.

DNC head Tom Perez recently declared abortion-on-demand is Democrats’ ticket to victory.

So if that’s not working, it figures Democrats might be looking at infanticide....perhaps mercy killing of the disabled...... for winning issues.


In Kansas couple weeks ago, Republican Estes won by a commanding eight points. Yet Democrat Ossoff in a GA primary failed to prevent a runoff...even after Mr Ossoff got some 10 million dollars in donations.

Earlier Democrats lost again b/c they failed to flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections.

Those total Democrat humiliations by the Russians occurred right after DNC genius Tom Perez bragged Democrats would show that that “resistance to Trump” could be translated into electoral victories.

To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states the Russians threw to Hillary in the 2016 presidential election.

Go figure.

And having him seated will definitely raise the standard for Republicans - we need more fighters instead of the PC RINOs we are currently plagued with.

OK. That settles it. Move on to the insect rights protestors defending the cockroach that was crushed when the reporter met Mr Floor.

The only way the Democrat could win in Montana is to play on the Democrat females emotions.

This was all a last-ditch effort to play on female emotions.

There is a real contest in the Montana Democrat Party between the “Old” Democrats in Butte and Helena and the female Democrats.

If the female Democrats feel that the “Old” Democrats are slighting them or not paying attention to them, then they just don’t vote and the Republican wins.

This incident was put together by the “Old” Democrats in Montana to try and rally the female Democrat voters.

It is all about Democrats manipulating women.

Didn’t the left try this with DJT during the campaign? The one female “reporter” was supposedly knocked to the ground?

Whatever. These people are just scum.

“Quist has baggage.”

But he doesn’t need much when he performs at the nudist colony.

Right or wrong, Democrats feel that their station in life is determined by politics.

They vote to maintain what they consider to be an easy and prosperous lifestyle, or to gain that easy and prosperous lifestyle.

That means that they have their whole life invested in politics.

Now, people who think and feel that way will fight you to the death over politics.

They will fight until the winner is finally seated.

In Montana, former Democrat Brian Schweitzer bragged on camera about cheating and using physical intimidation in the election for John Tester that allowed the Democrats to pass Obamacare.

On camera in front of lawyers. And the lawyers laughed about it.

So Conservatives see politics as something of a contest while Democrats see politics as something that really affects their pocketbook.

We are trying to use Marquis of Queensbury boxing rules against people climbing into the ring with machine guns.

Just the latest installment of Democraps beating the bushes to find ANY election in the country where a democrat might beat a republican. Then they will be yelling from the mountain tops that the tide has turned in the country against Trump...Their poop just isn’t sticking against any walls anywhere.
