I'm a bit skeptical about this. What kind of candidate in a potentially close election assaults a reporter the day before the election?

Bob Etheridge in NC-02 2010.  OK, it was a week or two before, but still.

Uh, you mean a few months before?

By the way, Etheridge lost by about a point. He did extremely well compared to most southern Democrats.

Gianforte needs to do damage control now.... somehow... Honestly, IMO it'd be the best if he were just honest about this entire thing and apologized publicly.

That's not enough.

Yeah, well, after a congressional candidate body slams a reporter, few things are going to be enough to lessen the damage done.

It's not physically possible for most folks to body slam an adult male.

2017 GOP folks. Beta males need not apply. Must physically assault reporter to receive "stud" status.

Proof is in the pudding, isn't? This guy gets in someone's face, gets (allegedly, by his own accord) owned, and goes on twitter about broken glasses.

Pure beta move!

Yes, the voters prefer alpha males.

If G wins tomorrow and then gets charged/arrested, what happens? Would he be a representative from a jailcell?

as john podhoretz noted, ryan could deny him his seat.

Lol, that is not the way it actually works. If Speaker Ryan could do that he would toss all special election Dems out of the House!


Who comes up with this stuff? The Hamilton electors?


The Supreme Court already ruled in Powell v McCormack that the power to refuse to seat members of the House is quite limited.

Gianforte will win soon.

[krazen1211]

There's a big thrashing in the air!

[krazen1211]

Gianforte is rolling! Or should I say....Slamming!

[krazen1211]

Can the House deny Gianforte if they find reason (the assault is the obvious one)?

No.

[krazen1211]

Back in the day Barry lost Montana by about 2%. It's interesting how its now the voters that are the problem and not the party!

[krazen1211]

Gianforte is extending his lead!

[krazen1211]

lead is up to 6.2 with 46% in.

What was jeff roe, cruz's manager, talking about today with his assertion that the EV would favor quist by ten?

Jeff Roe kind of botched Missouri in the primary.

[krazen1211]

Gianforte up almost 8%! Nevertheless, he persisted!

Big slamming tonight.

[krazen1211]

Hahahaha!


The party of  'voter rights' is trying to cancel the election! Not the way it works!

DCCC chair Rep. Lujan: "Greg Gianforte is unfit to represent MT. There’s no question in my mind Gianforte should not be sworn into office."

Now that the election is done and dusted, I think it's time to showcase some of the highlights of the great minds on Breitbart comments:
