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

[Klartext89]

The GOP will find a good challenger for Tester and if everything goes normal, they will be the slightly favourite to win the seat.

I think it's pretty clear that nothing is going "normal" in American politics right now.

Not that that means Tester is definitely going to win. He could lose in a landslide for all I know.

Well, you definiteley have a point.

Of course Greg Gianforte could only win because of Russian interference who clearly changes the vote pattern :-D

Hey Dems, tired of losing yet? No worry, there's a lot more to come ^^

And don't forget: His name was Seth Rich!

I'm just laughing so hard right now. Was going to bed yesterday texting my election nerd buddy that I have a bad feeling, weaking up reading about a 6 points win and just WOW! Thank you Montana!

By the way, the Dems always get 40% in Montana, so 44% is really an embarrassement.

This result was absolutely disgusting.

I love it

Very funny how a "close, competitive race" has gone to "it wasn't about winning" in a couple of hours :-D

But yeah, losing only by 6 points in a state with a 1-1 Senate split, a Dem Govenor and a lot of Dem Reps in the past is Clearing a sign of Dems taking over the House in a landslide! Spin pin Spin!

You need to quiet down.

First of all Quist was a flawed candidate, Democrats were way outspent, the news of the body slam broke too late and Quist is a gun control nut.

Not a great result but not a horrid result for Democrats either.

And special elections tell nothing about the general election in 2018.

Yeah, the body slam of a left-wing British reporter would have reaaaaaaaaally changed the race, keep yourself telling it ^^

The opposition always does better in a special election cause the baseis more energized and wants to send a message.

If Trump and the AHCA bill would be soooo unpopular, the Dems would have won. They didn't - I know why.
