Mid Term Election - Zinke vs D TBD

[INMT]

WTF is happening. I feel like we’re being set up for a earthquake.

Jacobsen seems like she’s fine in her current role. Maybe she’d make a good rep?

Russ Cleveland seems good on the D side.


Former UM Pres would be better for Diane’s seat than some Irish lady, at least I think.

Daines doing this at the very last minute it is pretty fishy, and quite the gift to Bodnar.

I think if people had known, there’d be a much thicker pool of Republicans than Kurt Alme.

Daines is as in-the-know as anyone, I feel like this has to be calculated. Like either he thinks an unknown R will do better than someone fully tied to the Washington mess, or he knows how many tight races there are going to be and doesn’t want to dedicate a bunch of money to holding his seat, just throw Alme in and let the chips fall where they fall. It’ll be interesting to see how aggressively they spend on Alme.

Big week for our congressional delegation

Carpetbagger, this guy's phony ass campaign caused me to pull the lever for Tester for the first time ever.
Leveraging your military connections into a "private sector" business that is funded through government contracts does not and entrepreneur make. And the murky purple heart stuff... but whatever they're all scum. For the record, Jersey Greg's beat-down on the heckling "journalists" was justified.

If I was a betting man, I’m guessing we see a Daines vs Knudsen Gov primary for 2028.

As I understand it, a US Attorney can not run for the Senate because it is prohibited by the Hatch Act. Not sure how they are getting around that with Alme.

I was thinking that this morning. That or an appointed admin position and they couldn't afford an empty senate seat in the interim, but I think yours might be more likely.

Who would you prefer?

Daines seems like the better option of the two.

Daines for sure. Knudsen is no friend of a public land hunter.

Daines by a mile, but I think he’s underestimating how Montanans will view this last second backdoor deal.

Appears as though he's stepped down from US Attorney.

I was wondering if that is just all it takes.

I assume he had to resign from DOJ entirely, but harder to tell whether that has happened.
