It's hard to believe that Montana--a state that's red as a tail light--it even has no sales tax--would keep electing a leftist liberal like Tester.
I used to live in Montana and lived there when Tester was first elected. He was just a farmer rancher good old boy pretending to be a Republican.
But Montana is not a red state. Half of the state is red and the other half is bright blue. So many people have moved there from California Washington Oregon that you cannot count on Montana voters for anything.
“It’s hard to believe that Montana—a state that’s red as a tail light—it even has no sales tax—would keep electing a leftist liberal like Tester.”
Only explanation I can think of is that the people there must be under the impression he’s another Zell Miller. They believe they’re voting for a conservative Democrat.
Carpet bagging rarely works..... GOP should have recruited a native...
However, once Manchin won by 3+ fact Tester held on isn’t, sadly, surprising.
