When has Tester voted like a Blue Dog? He basically votes like a Western rural Democrat. Moderate but more populist than corporate. It’s not like MT has a fiscally conservative swing vote.

Moderates in the Billings suburbs.

Who voted for a single payer supporter in 2004 and 2008 for governor.

Edit: Also Billings has suburbs? Lol

Heitkamp is someone who could really get screwed over the SCOTUS nomination, if she votes no she gives up any pretense of being a moderate and likely loses several centrist/conservative votes. If she votes yeas she risks alienating the far left that is funding her campaign

I don't think communists and anarchists are funding her, or even voting for her considering many communists/anarchists refuse to vote because of their ideology.

Terms like "far left" don't mean "someone I disagree with."
Whatever you describe "far left" as, a lot of the major individuals and groups who are funding her are the types who believe that Brett Kavanaugh will kill millions if confirmed on the bench. A yes vote will not please those people

Who here thinks that? Generally speaking, you seem obsessed with calling Berniecrats far left (which is at best sloppy political analysis), and that said far left already runs the Democratic Party.

The Dakotas are very elastic and have a long history of sending Democrats to Congress. It’s really not hard to imagine Heitkamp winning in a D wave especially with Trump reckless ways of doing tarrifs and in a state that is likely to be affected by such tarrifs.

Morrisey and Cramer are much better candidates than Moore and Saccone, and WV and ND are much redder and have higher approval ratings for Trump than all of those places. Also it is midterm turnout, not special election crowds.

No they aren't. Cramer just had that gaffe on Kavanaugh and Morrirsey is too fiscally conservative. Also ND and WV both have long histories of voting Democrat down ballot, especially in GOP mid-terms. No reason for 2018 to be that much different really.
