Yes, narrowly. He won’t lose this time.
Cankles 2016 Tester 2018 Trump 2016 Rosendale 2018 Montana 177,709 253,876 143% 279,240 235,963 85%
Can you vote straight-ticket in Montana, or do you have to select for each office?
Tester always pulls it out in the end.
Rosendale is a repeat candidate. It is who Tester defeated the last time.
Tester is not just left of center, but far left. Yet keeps getting elected in Montana.
You can split the ticket. This is why we usually go Red for the presidential ticket and yet keep that liberal Tester in office.
You can vote for a Republican president and still vote for a Democrat senator.
Yes, I think the “slammer” Gianforte could beat him, but he’s doing such a great job as governor I would hate to lose him.
One thing I’ve learned the past few years is how important the local races are, starting with sheriffs and going up.
So risking our governorship, it makes me nervous.
But yeah, the Slammer would be great in the Senate.
The extra time adds up over thousands of ballots [one reason Democraps love early voting - more time for ballot creation].
We saw this in Missouri in 2012.
Why don’t people ever take a quick pic of these things? It would be helpful for voters to know who he really respects.
Cabinet post is not the same thing as being a senator
Maybe Trump got along better with one over the other
*Gianforte won’t give up an easy win for a second Gubernatorial term.*
Reelected-he would just be going through the motions in life. As a senator he could make a bigger difference, one being the soiling of Testers pants.
*he’s doing such a great job as governor I would hate to lose him.*
Montana is on auto-pilot. Thy don’t even need a governor.
That’s a weird way of voting
In Georgia you have to mark each election
Montana came off of 16 straight years of rotten Demonrat Governors, and that after 12 years of a RINO (Marc Racicot, now officially kicked out of the MT GOP) and a hapless Judy Martz. Gianforte is having to clean up the mess they left, much in the same way President Trump had to clean up decades of disasters in DC.
If Sen. Daines retires after two terms, Gov. Gianforte can take his seat in 2026.
In the primary it’s either a Dem ballot, a GOP ballot, or Independent. In the general you pick and choose.
Hope he got the clot shot.
Thanks for the info!
