Montana AG Tim Fox not running for Senate: "This all changed post slam"

[Heisenberg]

Fox just revealed that Gianforte wants to run against Tester, and he's afraid that Greg will slam him into the ground, now that he's proven he can do that. Fox is afraid and backing out in favor of Greg.

LOL that must be a joke. Anyway, I think this means Rosendale will be the nominee.

Tester's reelection isn't funny, but it's going to happen. And as one of the few pro-coal dems left, he has my enthusiastic endorsement.

Well, I guess this seals the deal, then. You heard it here, folks... why even hold an election now? It's totally clear that Tester will win in 2018 and Governor Fox is a shoo-in in 2020.

Sorry, but this forum likes to overreact to everything. The one thing I do agree with you on is that it's now much more likely that Fox runs for governor in 2020. If the Democrats nominate a decent candidate (I really like Laslovich), I might be tempted to vote against him assuming I even live in the state in 2020. I'd love to see Fox losing a gubernatorial race, especially given how overrated he is on this forum.

2018 will be a D year. Without Fox or Zinke, who do republicans have  left that can realistically beat a popular incumbent in a D year? Name somebody.

They still have one secret weapon left: Matt Rosendale. He is so badass he shot down a government drone in one of his old ads. That just screams so Montana, and sometimes he even cuts his hair like Tester's (flat on top).
