MT did vote for Clintoid in 1992, and people there are mostly Democrat in statewide races.

Bit of a stretch.

"Montana was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 37.63% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H.W. Bush (R-Texas) with 35.12%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third with 26.12% of the popular vote (Wikipedia)

Montanans have elected too many national (two senators) and statewide (governor) Dems, but the Republicans have put up weak and error-prone candidates.

Steve Daines is young and reasonably steady and he was easily elected to Congress in 2012, in a year when the Dem governor and idiot Dem incumbent senator (Tester) squeaked past lackluster candidates.

Romney easily carried the state, for what that's worth, and Republicans were elected attorney general and secretary of state.

Republicans hold big majorities in both the state senate and the house, and their main battles are intra-party: between establishment types who want to spend more and tough, tight-fisted conservatives.

Demographics have changed over the past couple decades but when Montana Republicans put up good, clean, feisty candidates they win.

I should acknowledge that Zinke, who could be a strong candidate, is only going to alienate the crucial ranch and farm vote with "anti-Christ" talk.

Still lots of good God-fearing people across the state and they won't take kindly to some upstart telling them who is and isn't the Debbil. IMO.
