that was expected wasn't it? the state went for trump by like 20%. 100k more people voted for Trump than Clinton in Montana
The real surprise is that this race is coming down to the proverbial wire. Right now it's 20% reporting and Gianforte's lead is all of a thousand votes.
yes can't say I'm all that surprised... just more disappointed.. apparently like 50% of the ballots were cast before he assaulted the guardian reporter too.
America is a representative democracy fam. Some person in Florida will see the story, and think Gianforte is a retarded ape, but it wont change their view on whom to vote for in their state or congressional district.
for one party to have more representitives than the other, so that party can push their agenda through without any need to consult with the opposing party. have you not been paying attention to the last 9 years?
you still need to work with your own party and working with the guy that body slammed a reporter because he can't control his temper is potentially embarrassing
The Freedom Caucus proved this completely wrong. If your party has control of the House, Senate, and Presidency, and they need your votes to pass their agenda, you can stonewall their attempts until they give up and cater to you.
but that's literally the definition of working with your party
I mean obviously the way it turned out sucks for the average American but that's how groups of people with different opinions on how to govern should interact: making compromises
Yeah, the trumpets on all platforms are pretty clearly pro beating journalist. They really don't care who it is or what they do, as long as they say they'll support trumps "make America a failed state" plan. Trump literally botched his carrier deal and they don't care, the 10 million subsidy from Indiana tax payers is going to used to automate the factory starting in 2017, and there's still 2 layoffs before that this year. Apparantely triggering liberals is not more important than jobs.
true neoliberals would just see people getting punched and say they'll do whatever it takes to avoid getting punched themselves. you know like the millions of liberals who signed up with the nazis and Soviets when challenged
nah i'd like to see any media person who sticks mics in someones face when they're in a place they don't have permission to be in get body slammed to be honest. Especially paparazzi's. They fucking drove Britney Spears crazy and we could have had some epic years of her sexy body being everywhere

early voting has its upsides and downsides
it's really worse for the republican party as a whole if he wins too, tbh

how so?
n/a supergauntlet 2017-05-26
he body slammed a reporter, the entire country is talking about how much of a dumb shit he is, and it'll reflect poorly on people that work with him
it's just not generally a great way to start a term in political office i guess
I dunno maybe I'm wrong maybe the reality distortion field will work well enough

Lol it takes felonies to unseat one sided states like Montana. And even then it's not guaranteed.

He beat up someone from the Guardian, so I can understand why people are still voting for him.
n/a a_normal_human 2017-05-26
I wish anyone I could vote for had those kind of balls.

First candidate to eat the face off of someone from Huffpo should be president for life.

Aren't white women usually caked in too much makeup? I can't imagine that tasting good.

A future president for life wouldn't care about how the mayo bitch's face tastes.

if someone aside from Trump's campaign manager punches a Breitbart reporter though it's a STEP TOO FAR
