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

[Suburbia]

If Montana Republicans and national Republicans wanted to keep this R+11 seat in this red state, Marc Racicot or Denny Rehberg would have been good candidates.

Racicot or Rehberg running in 2018 if Quist wins would be Lean R. If Racicot or Rehberg runs against Sen. Tester in 2018 would be Lean R.

[Suburbia]

I think Gianforte wins by 5 points.

[Suburbia]

One of many reasons I despise the rampant gun and violence culture prevalent in our country, and especially among the GOP.

The vast majority of gun violence in this country, and violence in general, happens in the bluest of the blue precincts.

STFU with this sh**t .

Not in NYC honey

Morrisana, Tremont, Hunts Point. Everywhere has crime, but in NYC, those are the hotspots.

[Suburbia]

Gianforte should be ashamed of himself. This man was almost Montana governor last year. Bullock survived despite Hillary Clinton's defeat taking down the Montana Democrats.

[Suburbia]

If Gianforte wins after this can we finally admit that Republicans are deplorable and are just simply bad people?

Some Democrats aren't any better. Let's not forget the dead cops chant. There is crazy in everyone.


Gianforte needs to speak out on this.

Please tell me which democratic congressional candidates chanted 'dead cops'?

I'm talking about the hardcore base. I'm sure a few may have privately said so.

[Suburbia]

Can we agree that if Gianforte weren't a rich white man, he'd have been shoved in the back of a squad car in handcuffs immediately after this happened?

This. The fact that they just let him get away freely even with all these witnesses and audio is the clearest example of some form of privilege. You all can debate which kind.

True.

[Suburbia]

As someone who has run for office before and has been interviewed by reporters, I never once wanted to attack them for asking questions that were difficult.

Good. It should not happen at all.

[Suburbia]

So we're all agreed, Democratic pick up or second special in August?

Marc Racicot should run.

[Suburbia]

Is there any way that Montana Republicans can remove Gianforte and add some other Republican?

[Suburbia]

If Quist loses, it is no big deal. He can run again in 2018. I don't think Gianforte will last in Congress.

[Suburbia]

It's not surprising.

[Suburbia]

I would have voted for Quist, I like him, he's personable, but he can try again in 2018 or 2020.

[Suburbia]

It's not surprising.

not surprising, just disgusting. this man clearly lacks the temperament for this job.

[Suburbia]

Take it easy, folks.

[Suburbia]

The Democratic Party has a problem with rural voters right now. Also, Cynthia McKinney used to scuffle in Washington, DC, and no one had a problem.

[Suburbia]

Obviously we can't have a reasonable or semi-intelligible conversation about this race other than "lol left wing populism doesn't work" or "shut up DINOs" and other people empty quoting one another. Gross.

This is what a party undergoing a civil war looks like.

This is why I'm an independent instead of a Republican or a Democrat.

[Suburbia]

Fellow forum lefties pls stop fighting amongst yourselves and become hardcore misanthropes like me.  Realize that most Americans are terrible

It's hard to not see it that way at times. I wonder if the national cultural has really shifted that far from the one that fostered:

1) Japanese-American Internment Camps
2) Trail of Tears
3) Annihilation of Native Americans
4) Colonization and depreciation of territories and citizens therein
5) 9/11 Response
6) Overall regime change
7) Preying on those who need the most

The list can go on and on. There is a serious rot. I was raised Christian, and my parents pretty much taught me the polar opposite of all of that (and they were conservative by PR standards).

Come on Arch. You expect Americans not to be upset over 9/11?

[Suburbia]

Gianforte wins Montana congressional at large special election.

[Suburbia]

Quist should run again in 2018.

[Suburbia]

Who else has a feeling that Tester will lose in 2018?

50-50 chance.

[Suburbia]

Quist should run again in 2018.

I'm guessing you are a republican.

I'm an Independent. Gianforte looks like a gaffe machine. I like Quist.

[Suburbia]

If Democrats want to be a national party, they need to compete all over. Even Republicans.
