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

[Stranger in a strange land]

Perfect opportunity for nazi "think tank President" and future President Richard Spencer to launch his electoral career.

He'll lose. David Duke only got 3% in the LA Senate Jungle Primary, and Duke is much better-known and LA has a much longer history of racial tension to exploit. Open White Supremacy and Neo-Nazism still has a very small market.

Story being reported in the Billings Gazette and the Missoulian about Quist's financial situation

Unclear how this will play out, since Quist seems fairly unapologetic and up front about having money struggles.

If Trump repeatedly refusing to pay his contractors wasn't an issue last year, I can't see attacks based in part on someone's medical debt resonating.  If anything, it would reinforce the Romney-like stereotype Gianforte needs to get away from.  If there is eventually financial fraud at the bottom of this, that would be a different story, but for the time being this could easily backfire.

This is the kind of story that clueless upper middle class beltway hack consultants often think is a gotcha, but which often backfires because it humanizes a candidate to voters who are facing similar struggles. If Quist loses, it won't be because of this.
