If the Democrats win the special congressional elections in Georgia and Montana

[The Arizonan]

If Rob Quist and Jon Ossoff win in Montana and Georgia respectively, how do the Republicans react and how does Donald Trump respond on Twitter?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

muh fraud

[Pericles]

Republican congressmen and Senators may be less willing to go in line with the Trump agenda if they see the special elections as a sign of Trump being unpopular and potential doom in the 2018 midterms.

Hell probably blame the loss on "Yuge" amount of illegals voting for Dems or something ridiculous.

Quist and Ossof would most likely be detained by some Minute Men-esque paramilitary organization for allegations of their use of voter fraud to steal their respective elections.

[Fuzzy Says: "Abolish NPR!"]

The Dems won most of the special elections during Obama's first 2 years, but got crushed in 2010.  It's nothing they'll panic about.

Wishful dreaming. We can probably take Montana, but we are screwed in Georgia 6th.

Seems to be the other way around these days sadly.

I think Montana is pretty much gone for the Democrats.  I would bet on GA-06 flipping but am not entirely sold on that myself.

If one thinks that we can take Georgia 6th, they must be high. Granted, if I am wrong, feel free to make fun of me, because I will be too busy celebrating.

Logic tells me that montana will flip. Ignore the stupid polls that showed Trump would lose. Banjo strummin blue dog blue collar lifelong Montana born and raised populist democrat for public land vs rich dude from outside montana who sues people who trespass on property hates public land and lost a statewide election just a few months ago, granted it was to Bullock, but I think Quist could become the next Bullock or Tester or Schweitzer, he has all the tools in the toolbox for it.

Considering that Ossoff way over performed in polls and Handel is a crappy candidate, the odds of winning that seats are fairly good.

lol, 2/10.

Anyway, Montana is certainly not "gone" for Democrats yet, but the race is trending in Gianforte's favor. Quist has run a very mediocre campaign so far and is trying to please everyone at the same time. IMO Gianforte is way more authentic and has been a solid disciplined candidate so far (yes, his gubernatorial campaign was far from perfect, but he's not a joke candidate and has learned from his mistakes). 

Quist has a high floor, though. I'd be surprised if he got less than 45% of the vote. Right now I am predicting something like 51-46-3 in favor of Pianoforte.

1/10 for clumsily butchering Greg's last name, whether it was on purpose  or not.

I think you may be projecting your own voting preferences into both GA-6 and MT-AL here Bagel.

^I know, but I saw this comment and found it extremely funny for some reason, especially since Quist is a musician:

MT Treasurer (or anyone else from Montana for that matter), sorry if you answered or commented on this recently, but how well do you think Pianoforte and Quist have been running their campaigns?  Any big mistakes or good choices either of them are making?

"Pianoforte and Quist" sounds like a band name or the name of a TV series.

Yeah, if I could vote in both districts, I definitely would support Ossoff and Quist.
