‘Moderate’ Tester Goes Kamikaze in Montana
Real Clear Politics ^

Posted on 09/09/2024 6:30:37 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

Tester was first elected to the Senate in 2006 when he beat the tarnished Sen. Conrad Burns. In his next two races, Tester was helped by Libertarian candidates who earned more votes than the difference between Tester and his opponent. Now, Tester is the only Democrat holding statewide office in Montana.

KEYWORDS:
Tester got lucky in '06 when '43 gutted the party. In 2012 nobody followed Mittens into battle. 2018-midterm. Six year senate terms make the mind and accountability go numb.

Sheehy-Sure, he chose to make Montana his home and started Bridger Aerospace, an aerial firefighting company in Bozeman.

Not my cup of tea. Made rich by government contracts and is trying to buy the seat with the party’s help. Still we need the seat.

The 2006 election was the Democrat wave election when Dubya screwed up both the Katrina response and the Iraq War.

This election had a lot of Democrats who looked and acted like Republicans when campaigning (Tester with his crewcut, Tim Walz with his retired CSM schtick, Heath Shuler with his football career, etc.).

Once they got elected to office, they might as well have started wearing Mao jackets because they were going to do what Komrade Pelosi told them to do.

The boy isn’t moderate if he is backing those two RAT slobs, Harris and Walz.

Sid Daoud is the Losertarian spoiler in the 2024 Montana US Senate race.

Apparently polling at 2%.

One more time: Drain The Swamp.

Anyone who has been around politics over 6 yrs is Swamp.

Policies don’t matter when there is $36T in debt, created by Republicans.

Tester wasn’t lucky.

The Democrats cheated.

The Governor then was Democrat Brian Schweitzer.

He held the polls open long enough for the Democrats in Butte and on the reservations to produce enough phony votes for Tester to win.

Schweitzer even bragged about his cheating to a group of lawyers.

His bragging was filmed.

**Tester wasn’t lucky. The Democrats cheated. The Governor was Democrat Schweitzer. He held the polls open...*

None of that matters-he won.

**Tester was first elected to the Senate in 2006 when he beat the tarnished Sen. Conrad Burns**
Who’s fault is that? Stevenson in Alaska did it to himself when he lost. Give Sheehy 12 years if he wins-no more. Gettin’ sick of this shooting in the foot crap.

A 3rd term for Johnson(Wi.) was necessary as we had no one who could keep the seat. Then there’s Thune-safe for too long. Cassidy in La.-can him before the primary.

Trump needs to tell the libertarian spoilers they’ve got little ones.

Bush didn't "screw up" the Katrina response, Kathleen Blanco and Ray Nagin did. Bush screwed up the political fallout afterwards by underestimating the Democrat-media alliance that shifted the blame to him.

It wasn't Bush who delayed in asking for national guard support before the storm, it was Blanco who feared it would make Bush look good.

It wasn't Bush who left buses stranded in parking lots instead of evacuating people, it was Nagin.

It wasn't Bush who diverted money for levee maintenance to crony projects, it was the Democrats who ran New Orleans who did that.

Republicans didn’t create that debt all by themselves.

He screwed up by not federalizing the response to Katrina. When he found out that Gov. blankstare and Schoolbus Nagin were purposely sabotaging the hurricane response, he should’ve taken it out of their hands.
