This idiot polled more than 10% worse than Trump's performance.
If that doesn't worry you, I'm not telling you why its significant. It will be more of surprise for you.
You, for one.true.
Are there any active welchers still posting besides Reck?
djohn2oo8 destroyed you and you're still posting here. Why?

One has to wonder.
The silence on the right on this is deafening.
If a Democrat had done this, they would be screaming bloody ing murder.
Montana has voted for democrats for president twice in the last 50 years, this wasn't "gift-wrapped", and given the nature of the election in that state, and the late timing, wasn't overly surprising.
The thing you should be saying is that this guy doesn't really deserve to be elected. That is what a decent person might say about someone who ignored civilized norms and wants to be a political leader.
What I find rather shocking is that there has been every opportunity for anybody on this board who considers themselves to be a Republican or right-ish to at least mildly condemn this guy, yet there has been nothing.
What does that say about the moral authority of the Republican party?
Tell me why it's important in Montana and then tell me why conservative Montana farmers still vote Democrat.
I said I'm not spoiling it for him. or for you for that matter.

You have no high ground to question anyone's moral authority after the the DNC pulled on Bernie

Someone else being morally deficient does not mean you have to be.
You deciding not to do the ethical thing is entirely your choice, not anyone else's.
My 11 year old understands this. Just sayin'
Do you, RandomGuy, condemn the DNC for their actions during the primaries?
I seem to remember doing so already, but sure I think that what they did was ty.
Do you, RandomGuy, condemn the DNC for their actions during the primaries?
It is in the same general ballpark as the ty voter suppression the Republicans do all the time.
I would vastly prefer that the Democrats take the high-road as much as possible, because it makes outlining the difference between a partially morally bankrupt party and a completely morally bankrupt party a lot easier for the morons who think the two parties are equivalent.
While Nichols is a stay-at-home mom, her husband works two jobs to provide for their family of four.
Still, they quality for the Children’s Health Insurance Program — also called Children’s Medicaid — which has helped cover the cost of medical supplies for little Bella for the past three years. The 8-year-old has long suffered from Type 1 diabetes, which requires her to take daily insulin.
But Nichols said the in-network company she has long used to get insulin and other supplies for Bella recently outsourced their operation to another company — which is not in the Medicaid network.
Mississippi Representative Jeffrey S. Guice asked the concerned mom, "Have you ever thought about buying supplies with money you earn?"
That left the family paying $2,000 out of pocket for their daughter’s life-sustaining medical supplies.
Nichols called 23 suppliers in an attempt to find one covered by Medicaid and in the approved network, but had no luck.
Frustrated by the lack of options, Nichols emailed all 122 state representatives Monday.
"Is there someone in the legislature that can and will help these children stay healthy? They must have these medications and supplies which administer the medications to stay healthy and, quite honestly, alive!” she wrote.
Only three lawmakers wrote back, she said. Two were sympathetic and supportive — and then there was Guice's response
I didn't vote for Gianfante. Did you vote for Hillary?
Are you going to share your Montana insider knowledge or what? I think you are missing something if you think this last congressional race was indicative of how they'll vote in 2020.I said I'm not spoiling it for him. or for you for that matter.
LOL.
The same can be said about cist Leftists on ST too, regarding:
Rioting
Violence
Kathy Griffin
Benghazi
Bernie the Cuck Conspirator
Straight repression and denial of free exchange of ideas and opinions on college campuses
The sheer lunacy on campus colleges right now
Sounds like grasping and the 10:1 ratio that is becoming statistical fact in regards to what Leftists selectively ignore when pointing out an issue on the Right.
Not that morality had anything to do with my post, but relevancy to an argument matters not when you just have to stay behind your partisan line. But love the fact that the morality police still don't understand why they are taking Ls more consistently than the 6ers over the last 2 years.
Y'all losing and you're really, really, really reaching to prop up your side. Gotta do better than sticks and a whole bunch of nothing to prop up such a sagging foundation. Fascist Leftism is just a major turnoff to the majority of the country, especially when you try and play moral police with flawed and hypocritical logic.
Wake up, liberals: There will be no 2018 “blue wave,” no Democratic majority and no impeachment

It’s worth making two salient structural points that I think are beyond dispute, and then a larger, more contentious one. As my former boss David Daley has do ented extensively, both on Salon and in his book “Rat ed,” the extreme and ingenious gerrymandering of congressional districts locked in by Republican state legislators after the 2010 census virtually guarantees a GOP House majority until the next census and at least the 2022 midterms. Yes, the widely-hated health care law might put a few Republican seats in play that weren’t before. But the number of genuine “swing” districts is vanishingly small, and it would require a Democratic wave of truly historic dimensions to overcome the baked-in GOP advantage.
was it legally possible for you to vote for giafante?
Do you always ask stupid questions you know the answer to?
I want to know if RandomGuy condemned the DNC for ing Bernie and then turned right around and voted for Hillary.
Of course he did.
You know how that level of condemnation goes "yeah, I hope she straightens up and the DNC gets it together" ...
Enter Philo claiming no one actually said that, or challenging me to provide the actual post with that quote else I must retract it.
Good article but lol @ those angry comments. How dare a progressive write an article accurately describing the current state of the Democratic party.
I dunno about 'blue wave', but being perceived as the anti-Trump party matters (just like it mattered to be the anti-Obama party for GOP voters). In bency always has a cost, tbh.
The real question is, will it be enough? Because they certainly don't have much else going for them, and parading Shillary again sure ain't going to work.
Media Consolidation Is a Threat to Democracy
Montana recently held a congressional election, pitting a Republican businessman, Greg Gianforte, against a Democrat folk singer, Rob Quist. The day before the election, the businessman body-slammed Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs, and this was caught on audio tape.
A much-watched Montana television station, KECI, refused to run the story about the incident.
the refusal by KECI to report this crime was unquestionably a journalistic failure. It may come as a surprise, but
many Montanans rely upon local broadcast television for their news about Montana
, and this news sometimes informs their choices in the voting booth. This is true of the vast majority of Americans as well.
Yes, broadcasting still matters. KECI was recently purchased by the Sinclair Broadcast Group.
But what is Sinclair, and why should we care?
Sinclair is a Maryland-based media conglomerate that now owns 173 TV stations in 81 cities across the nation.
It has long been a major contributor to political campaigns with a strong preference for Republican candidates and a history of supporting right-wing causes.
In 2007, the FCC fined Sinclair for what it called “payola punditry” related to conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams.
In December, Politico reported that Trump’s son-in-law,
Jared Kushner, claimed to strike a deal with Sinclair.
According to that report, “Kushner highlighted that Sinclair, in states like Ohio, reaches a much wider audience—around 250,000 listeners—than networks like CNN, which reach somewhere around 30,000.”
Shortly after the Republicans took over the White House and increased their power in Congress and the Supreme Court, the
Trump-appointed FCC chair, Ajit Pai, apparently sent a green light to Sinclair regarding its plans to take control of Tribune Media.
And in April, the FCC, newly dominated by Republicans, voted to
bring back an old media consolidation loophole called the UHF discount (relevant when all TV stations were still broadcasting analog signals) that allows broadcasters like Sinclair to exceed congressionally mandated national TV audience coverage limits.
Pai’s reinstatement of this old rule is being challenged in court by the Ins ute of Public Representation, but make no mistake about it—broadcast media consolidation is once again heating up, and we should all be very, very worried.
In May 2017, Sinclair announced a deal to add 42 TV stations to its empire by purchasing Tribune Media. This would give Sinclair stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Denver and several other top-20 markets.
