BILLINGS — The Libertarian candidate in Montana's U.S. Senate race has thrown his support behind Republican Matt Rosendale in response to an election mailer from an unknown group that appears aimed at undermining Rosendale's support among conservatives. Rick Breckenridge said Wednesday that he doesn't know the source of the mailer promoting him as a "true conservative" and claiming Rosendale supports using drones to spy on private citizens.

Breckenridge says it's an attempt by so-called dark money groups to influence Montana's election and he's decided that Rosendale is the best candidate to stop such efforts.

Partner, all the DemonRat senators voted against President Trump's individual Tax cuts and the business tax cuts, which will give us a great economy for the next 20 years.

Also, all the DemonRat senators except for Manchin voted against Brett Kavanaugh who now sits on the USSC.

Of course, all DemonRat senators should lose but some live in some pretty far left liberal $%@# hole states.

This is helpful, don’t get me wrong. But it’s not game over for Tester because

A)LOTS of people have already voted
B)Dude’s name will presumably stay on the ballot

But hey, it is a positive development. God Bless Mr. Whatshisname the Libertarian, I only wish he did this a month or 2 ago.

Yuge, I tell you. Tester Toast, anyone?

I’m a Montanan, and a veteran, and sick of Tester bragging on his VA creds, when he was so supportive of Obama during the time vets were dying in waiting lines to get care.

The Reservations are going to have to vote 13 times to overcome this one.

Yuge!

Very clever!

Finally a non ego tripping libertarian spoiler! Who does the right thing. YEAH BABY! And idiot Tester is toast!

[MayflowerMadam]

So cool! The other day DH and I were mentioning that it was splitting the vote. Now it will be easier for the results to break our way. Tester! Spit!

[theoilpainter]

Yes, but he’s still on the ballot.

Though it’s a bit late for the already voted Libertarians to do anything, hopefully this will steer the remaining Libertarians towards voting for the Republican.

I hope they do.

Sad that it took such underhanded actions to help the Libertarian to see it’s best at this time for the Republicans to continue cleaning house.

I truly, truly hope the Republicans clean house and purge their internal RINOs from important committee leadership.

Does anyone remember a race where the Libertarian candidate tilted the election to the Republican rather than the Demoncrat?

Actually the 2016 Presidential race is one. There is polling to suggest that many of the Bernie voters were pissed at Hillary for swiping the D primary from him, went to Gary Johnson of the L Party. Now, they may have also not voted, but they certainly weren't going to vote for Trump, so a lot of potential D voters went to L in that race.

He’s headed for Helena handbasket!

“A new dish at Montana eateries, Tester toast.

To be served alongside Rocky Mountain Oysters.”

Made with Testers testies???

I don't, but that doesn't change my opinion. They would be far more effective in achieving their goals if they were a club like the NRA.

The Libertarian Party was with who I was after 1988, when I saw Bush 41 not continuing Reagan’s issues. I was active in the Connecticut Libertarians, but I knew that I was doing more harm to Republicans by being in the Libertarian Party. In 2000, I went back to the GOP...
