I don't know how to make sense of anything in polls, even if we ignore the 5-10% of the people who answer "Don't know". The one below is a great example. 53% of Montanans thought the state was headed in the wrong direction.
Overall approval ratings (splitting obviously by party lines, showing...
Well, it would have given him a better chance of winning at which time he could have told Bloomberg or Soros to go pound sand (hell, republicans have zero problem telling their voters to pound sand). I think he did it because the D is toxic in MT as it swings further and further right. We will...
Bodnar choosing to run as an Independent might have sealed his fate. He could have run as a D, won the primary and unified the vote (but probably still lost- we will know in a week). That was his decision, not the party's. This is the risk you take running as an Independent. It only takes one...
That would be pretty close to the estimate of party breakdown in primary. Although Alme getting 50% of the vote would mean that Independents went to the Republican (so "ceding" leadership is odd way to phrase it). It will be easy to blame Democrats, but the reality is that the state party is not...
Had this been in place during Polis’ tenure would it have prevented the other ballot initiatives?
From a practical standpoint it is performative if we keep electing people that will cater that these groups that want to redefine meanings written in constitutions against the will of the people...
I think Irrelevant made this point earlier. It seems we are raising fish in hatcheries for commercial fishing operations. The whole thing is depressing.
Not if they're investors in the private infrastructure fund that holds Tallgrass Energy. They might be able to find a buyer for a terrible price, but they are stuck. I am just curious how those conversations go. $100m is a pretty large donation to the Federal Government.
Give away is closer to the truth than anything close to “highest bidder”. With this askin I question if any payment hits the taxpayer account. The reason that land is so attractive is because it is isolated, less attractive for development and thereby cheaper. Get cheap land close to energy...
Hopefully everyone got this in their email box. For those that don't the link is below. Don't want to mess with the valuable discussion on the other thread. :ROFLMAO:
He was a vanguard of the current era of celebrity in politics. That kind of makes me wonder if anyone without some celebrity persona will ever win the presidency. Even politicians are trying to craft some type of celebrity profile.
Lots of people registered for 2028. Lots of Ind, lots of No...
Agree. Why is he not splitting off any meaningful % of R voters? (At least in the polls. Maybe Election Day will be different?)
I have said since the start that Dems will get the blame for this. But both sets of voters are slaves to their party loyalty. Objective thought is dead.
No not surprised. Happy that people can have different options in this country, at least for now. Just find it interesting that two opposing opinions end us up with a bigger, but different problem.
Party doesn’t matter and won’t. People need to vote for high character individuals regardless of...
One person on the thread wants a candidate that cares about the “working class” and another decries Sanders for being an admitted democratic socialist. Welcome to America where we have a corrupt fascist running the country apparently because the party system is broken. Kind of makes me think...
For what purpose? So other voters have to do due diligence on candidates instead of voting by default party? Most voters don’t have the time or energy to do that work when voting for a dozen different positions and all the other initiatives on the ballot. I assume it is overwhelming for a lot of...
