Democrats should win this easily.  The Montana Democratic Party is what the national Democratic Party will look like if the Republicans go full batsh**t and purges itself of any moderate/center-right member with half a brain as RINO, which is what Montana GOP has been doing since 2000.  Any serious candidate, like Bohlinger, does not want the Republicans behind them.
