MT-AL: Rob Quist (D) vs. Greg Gianforte (R) vs. Mark Wicks (L), May 25

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I can't believe a fully fledged Berniecrat (based on what I've read on his policy positions) is gonna win a House seat in Montana.

-_-. If we lose tommorow, I'm blaming it on all these knaves who think just because they got a little advantage, they can swoop in like a hotshot, and claim victory before we even see results. I thought we have already learnt from 2016 about the dangers of this...

I don't live in Montana or work for Rob Quist's campaign.

Anyhow my comment was implying that I find it too hard to believe that he could actually win on this platform. I'm still not sure if he'll win. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

You literally said you cannot believe that Quist will win Montana tomorrow. Not much room to Kellyanne your way out of it.

I probably should've rephrased my original comment, yes. But my final point still stands.

Fair enough.

I will be referring to Gianforte as "Assaulterforte" while reporting results tomorrow, and I suggest the rest of you do the same.

If he becomes a Congressman tomorrow... lord help us.

[Skunk]

Damn, beat me to it. Also, Crazy Greg'll have to show up to court sometime between now and June 7th.

[Technocracy Timmy]

Christ almighty.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Well, it's official now. Assaulterforte is a criminal, and anyone who votes for him is endorsing criminal activity.

[Holmes]

Wow.

If early votes are more Democratic than normal in Montana like the rest of the country and this shifts Election Day voters, Quist will be one of the luckiest candidates in a good while.

[Technocracy Timmy]

Lol at this.

DCCC ad ready to go for tomorrow. Simple, but effective.

Well, they didn't have to do a lot of editing. Funny how much more straightforward it is than basically every other political ad in existence, because it doesn't have to fool the viewer with the usual tricks.

It is also seems smart to say "Go. Vote. Against. Him." - which implicitly allows for Republicans to vote for the Libertarian if they can't bring themselves to vote for a Democrat.

It does say "Vote for Rob Quist" right after that though.

The Billings Gazette has retracted their endorsement of Gianforte.

President Cordray is very pleased.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Quist has just taken the lead on predict it. Don't know how long it will last for, but it did occur!

[This account no longer in use.]

Really, Gianforte's behavior has forced him into a catch-22. Even if he does win, he'll either have to resign, retire, or the Republican chances in this district will be seriously f-cked up come 2018.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

The Billings Gazette has retracted their endorsement of Gianforte.

And The Missoulian too.

[Bakersfield Uber Alles]

I prefer Fortissimo, myself.

Can they play that ad on the radio as well? Not sure if there's FCC rules against airing it in the radio or not.

[This account no longer in use.]

Also, as someone else in IRC pointed out (forgive me; I forget who), this means that Gianforte will likely not run for Governor in 2020, meaning that Fox will probably do so rather than run against Tester. It's astonishing how one man's absolutely f-cking stupid actions will affect this entire state in the future.

[Webnicz]

Can Montana actually afford to have a second special election? That was the big deal behind the mail in only ballot measure. If counties are in this serious of financial trouble,and Gianforte resigns(after winning the election) wouldn't Montana just let the seat remain vacant until '18?
