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

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Any Montana voters on Atlas, please consider this incident very carefully when voting. If you vote for Gianforte, you are endorsing this incident and saying it is a good thing. Vote for Wicks, or heck, even Quist, instead.

[TheSaint250]

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

Wh...What?

[McGovernForPrez]

Jeez I take a short nap today and miss all the fun. Hoping Gianforte gets bodyslammed in the polls tomorrow. What an awful person.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Sounds like Greg is mad over the CBO score probably had his people telling him this could cost him an he just snapped on a reporter from a newspaper he blamed for his governor race lose

[Gass3268]

Jacob sounds extreamly frazzled in his interview.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

JS this will probably actually help Gianforte given the environment.

Even a Socialist^TM?

I reckon most of the votes have been cast already thru early voting. This is one of the pitfalls of early voting.

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 .

Looks like someone shouldn't be allowed to have guns either, triggered much .

[The Other Castro]

Wow...

[Matty]

Which is why early voting is stupid as hell. It shouldn't be allowed, or should be massively curtailed. it cuts down vital exposure time to see the true nature of candidates.

Early vote usually leans D tho

Given this, yeah. If this was an AV election, I would vote:

1. Wicks
2. Quist
3. Gianforte

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Ban Guns!

Wow Wulfric sort of endorsing the socialist. Never thought I'd see the day.

[TheSaint250]

Ban Guns!

Seriously what are you blabbing about on this thread

[Skill and Chance]

I reckon most of the votes have been cast already thru early voting. This is one of the pitfalls of early voting.

The early vote is disproportionately hardcore partisans, so a lot of it was baked in regardless.  The undecideds/leaners are mostly voting tomorrow.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

IKR it will not happened and it aint realistic, but yeah...

[ApatheticAustrian]

aren't there states which allow you to retract your early vote?

[Progressive]

STFU with this sh**t .

Not in NYC honey

[MAINEiac4434]

If Gianforte the Giant wins, he will probably be censured by the House almost immediately after being sworn in.

[Ye We Can]

What a time to be alive for election watching.

[Virginiá]

I wonder if Gianforte will be arrested before polls close tomorrow, then Quist can have volunteers hand out pictures of his mugshot while people go to vote

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

No, I mean banning guns. That will never occur here.

[Dr. Arch]

Yeah, Jacobs is a moron and Gianforte should have ignored him. This was stupid.

Explain how you deduced that from the audio. He asked him a question about healthcare and Gianforte decided to bodyslam him.

i don't think MT Tres' comment about jacobs has anything to do with this chat tonight.

Yeah, Jacobs accused Gianforte of having ties to Russia two weeks ago or so. When you know (like Gianforte or his campaign team should have) that a reporter is that hostile towards you, you either shouldn't take questions from him or at least know how to respond in an appropriate way.

As for whether this will have an impact? Considering that I believe Quist is leading (narrowly) in the early vote, probably. I doubt we will see a MO-SEN 2012 redux, but this is pretty damning for him. All the news stations have picked up on this already. Jesus, this guy was one day away from victory.

Still voting for him?
