Yeah, but I seemed to remember that they endorsed Dems pretty regularly before. So is this yet another Democratic casualty in the #waroncoal? Or was this a one-election deal?
I wouldn't read too much into this, honestly. Rosendale is making fossil fuels a key issue of his Senatorial campaign, and we all know Tester is the one who will get their endorsement. A lot of people endorsed Gianforte who "shouldn't have", including the state's largest newspapers. Quist wasn't the strongest candidate and didn't run the best campaign, to say the least.
Fair, that's sorta what I expected.
Man, if only Quist had been as good as he looked on paper... :/
