So like... right now Gianforte is winning.

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.

That's nothing.

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.

early voting has its upsides and downsides

it's really worse for the republican party as a whole if he wins too, tbh

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

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.

ok? this is an election for a seat in congress.

this is an election for a seat in congress. working with people from across the country is the entire fucking point

wait, so people who live in different states are allowed to vote for representatives in states they don't live in? well, Today I Learned

what is the point of congress assy

did you misread my post or are you being intentionally stupid to force an argument

what is the point of congress

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

but yes true

you still need to work with your own party

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

but that's how groups of people with different opinions on how to govern should interact: making compromises that everyone hates equally

/u/the_reason_trump_won

This tbh

you know it's the second one

Bernie could still win tbh.

^ liberal tears

Apparently his fundraising skyrocketed after the choke-slam.

Guess Montanans? Montainans? Monaniantinas? don't like the media all that much.

yes an informed opinion kills the republican.

>the guardian

>information

k

or it was out of state

also I think a bunch of folks voted by mail long before any of last night's shenanigans

You say that like it's a bad thing.

He got charged with misdemeanor assault?

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

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.

what's with this seriousposting shit

Srd is leaking into drama.

Quick deploy the Autists! /u/masterlawz tell them about your waifu pillow.

it's dramatic ain't it

Lol, go back to ETS.

Hows the march going?

He beat up someone from the Guardian, so I can understand why people are still voting for him.

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

if someone aside from Trump's campaign manager punches a Breitbart reporter though it's a STEP TOO FAR and SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT right

True Neo-Liberals are the only ones who wouldn't put up with this bullpen and you know it's 😎

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

They did the right thing tbh

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

Antifa is bad but we need to assault journalists

Only if they're leftist journalists

Now you're getting it!

How do I acquire a Montana gf ?

Is this an ARG for Far Cry 5?

Underrated comment.
