HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana abruptly dropped his reelection bid on Friday — the second time in the past month that the hardline conservative lawmaker has entered and then quickly dropped out of a congressional race.

No “/sarc” needed — it’s very true.
Thanks. The Left uses labels to great effect, both to target opponents and to favorably brand their own initiatives.

Stage 2 - 17th - Senators chosen by popular vote eliminated Constitutional balance of Fed, State and People. Government power multiplies.

I live in Montana too and have heard nothing about this but I did receive a call last night from a friend who is connected to the state party and used to work for Conrad Burns. Didn’t see it until later but I’ll call him back this morning.
“Could Jesse Helms win today in NC?”
Considering he was a take no prisoners brawler and NC has elected a veto proof GOP legislature, I would say he could. Everybody said Jesse would lose back then too.
It has been covered extensively on the ‘bozeman’ and ‘montana’ thread on Reddit by the political junkies... started appearing several weeks ago.
America is done. I’ve been saying this for years.
Only divine intervention could possibly revive it and it’s not deserved at this point.
Laying down in the center of the arena and being eaten by the lions is a rotten way to die
