ANY of them can beat Jon Tester.
They just can't beat the Montana Democrat ballot fraud machine.
The Democrats control voting, even in Montana?
It will be entertaining watching the gyrations at the fake ballot factories.
It looks like a one-off deal if it were a permanent system like the one in California I would be unhappy.
I saw a deal here in Pennsylvania done to protect Pat Toomey when he was in the US Senate saying no candidate could get on the ballot to challenge him in a primary without a high bar for signatures.
Easy to spend money on fake ballots in a midterm to crush the GOP candidate.
The Res is fertile ground for such things.
Did you look at the numbers on my post above?
Tester's "turnout" in 2018 was 143% of Hillary's 2016 turnout.
Figure the 2016 Hillary vote to be around the normal Democrat loyalist base.
Then ask yourself where the extra 75,000 "votes" came from.
The 2018 turnout for Republican Rosendale was a more normal 85% of Trump's 2016 turnout.
It's only where they can afford it.
So - they have to pick and choose where to spend the money, and they have to generate the money, too.
That's why O'Keefe's new "ActBlue" information is so very, very important.
If you cut their money off, they can't create ballots.
Do you have a better bench mark than Hillary?
For example, Trump got fewer votes in Wisconsin than Romney did in 2012, but he still beat Hillary. That shows how weak Hillary was. And I have to figure Hillary is a lot less appealing in Montana than Wisconsin.
Jon Tester got 9,000 more "votes" in an off-year - 253,876...
Fix the election integrity, not this gimmick.
Which gimmick would that be?
Jungle primaries.
So, this Montana stratagem will help.
Proof The Stupid Party is limited in its reach.
And after this election cycle and Tester is gone, they can just vote to repeal the law. Now that would be playing by democrat rules!
Democrats can just start running as Republicans - or even as “independents” allowing them to shed the “liberal” stereotype stigma to some voters even if they are just as liberal as any Democrat.
Republicans / conservatives should just run as Democrats in California and in effect render it a nonpartisan ballot.
Trump got more votes in 2020 in Wisconsin and a higher percentage of the vote than in 2016, but he lost the former and won the latter. Biden was not as disliked as Hillary and fewer people voted third party - Biden also strongly targeted those third party voters to make them feel “safe” voting for “good ol Joe” and there was zero competition on these networks from the Trump campaign. Biden advertised heavily on the digital subchannels and Trump did not...reaching many millions of voters all to himself.
I don’t think there is a single Democrat in the country that is liberal anymore.
If you want the best candidate to beat Tester you go with Governor Gianforete. He prefers to stay in the governors chair. Not a team player.
There are at least 5 libertarian slimes that ran and ended up giving senate seats to the rats. The Pacific Northwest. Go back 30 years. One could name them. I can only think of Slade Gordon.
