MT-02 Republican Primary: who wins?

[JMT]

Who wins this primary to succeed Matt Rosendale? My guess is Troy Downing, based on the limited public polling available. He’s also raised the most money and is a statewide elected official, so he likely has more name recognition than many of the other candidates.

I suppose Denny Rehberg is a possibility as well, since he previously served in Congress. He may be able to skate by in a crowded primary based on name recognition in a race that hasn’t received a ton of attention. I still think it’ll be Downing, though.
