Apologies.
Thanks for info! Hope Gianforte can pull this out.
No respect for those that stoke class hatred.
Montana? I don’t see Quist getting much traction by using a gun-hating, three-home-owning, septuagenerian caucasian socialist. Montana is hunting and fishing country. Brian Schweitzer is the former governor, a Democrat who once gave a one-word answer why Obama never did well in the state: “Guns”
I hope Dems are pinning their hopes on Montana. I’d much prefer they invest their campaign loot in long-odds races like this, rather than close contests they need to defend for incumbents.
What there are today is a natural outgrowth of what they were, agrarian populists, which was not a smart ideology.
Obviously trying to gin up rat turnout rather than appeal to swing voters. Might not be a terrible strategy.
Roll call has moved the race to “tilts Republican”, down from “likely”.
Politico reports “GOP Polling” (internals I guess) show us up by only 2-4 points. If you trust politico.
