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

This is not a Pennsylvania thread.

That being said, Sestak was pretty much a trainwreck in his 2016 campaign and McGinty did much better than I expected her to (running even with Clinton and doing much better in rural PA). Sestak would've 100% done worse.

Quist has received the Our Revolution endorsement.

This is absolutely not true. Literally no one likes McGinty. She was pushed by the state party upon us as the obvious worst of three candidates. Anyone would have done better.

This is why Steve Bullock is the man.

This like, doesn't even come close to the most awesome Montana Democratic Governor Veto Hijinks.

Man, quit making me so nostalgic. Look what Hillary cost us

Well, Gianforte's dirty 11th hour tricks and prayers appear to have worked. I love Quist, but even I was nearly taken in by last night's schemes. Very unfortunate to blow a completely winnable race like this but Republicans played their best card. Nothing you can do.

F**k, it's gonna be a 10+ margin isn't it?

I've thought since yesterday the bodyslam would double Gianforte's margin and that seems to be the case.

Yep, this was obvious to anyone who understands people. Of course The Guardian teamed up with him to steal the people's seat. Really sick tactics. Sadly, you never see Dems with the guts to do this.

Sooo, all the over-confidence from you guys last night and even before last night, all the predictions of a quist 2 point or 3 point win, they were all fake hope?

This happens all the time on here. You guys hype up dem chances, and then when it actually doesn't happen, you pretend you never had any "true" hope for a win.
