MT-AL: Rob Quist (D) vs. Greg Gianforte (R) vs. Mark Wicks (L), May 25

I feel better about this race because the MT Dems are a lot more competent than GA Dems.

[henster]

I was kind of optimistic about Quist but then I read about his gun registry stance and lost all hope.

The lack of help from the DSCC seems to confirm their shift from WWC to upscale suburban districts.

I feel like WV-03 could be winnable if Jenkins runs for Senate and Tomblin runs, also ME-02 with someone like Troy Jackson, IA-01, SD-AL etc. But with the party mentality they won't even be seriously contested.

[henster]

I reckon most of the votes have been cast already thru early voting. This is one of the pitfalls of early voting.

[henster]

Nothing matters anymore I hope a Dem candidate knocks the sh*t out of a FOX News or Breitbart reporter since it's acceptable to voters.

[henster]

Very little seems to faze R voters they had no problem electing DesJarlais in TN over and over despite him having an affair and forcing his mistress to have an abortion. Even Michael Grimm was re electing under indictment, incompetence doesn't seem to matter either considering Brownback was re elected.

Takeaways:

1) Republicans stayed loyal

2) Quist was a poor candidate with too many skeletons in his closet who ran a bad campaign according to MT Treasurer, whom I trust. These things made him unlike Bullock, Tester and Schweitzer

3) Early vote screwed Quist

Why do Dems skeletons seem to matter more than Rs? Trump had debt issues and tax issues no he didn't play at a nudist resort but did admit to grabbing women's genitals.
