Just a reminder that at least in terms of GE performance, OnMessage also thought Bennett and Murray were barely winning in 2022 lol.

lol, the GOP leadership always falls for these "war veterans" or "self-made millionaire" types in the primaries, only for said candidates to be smoked in the primary election by someone who thinks that Zelensky is a Nazi puppet of the WEF and that the War in Ukraine is a front to force us all to address Nikole Hannah-Jones by non-binary pronouns.

The fact that Tester is already down by 5 points before the primary has even really begun isn't good news. Lean to Likely R.

It's very early, though I could see a scenario in which Tester is finally running out of luck due to increased political polarization, especially in a presidential year. Even if Biden wins reelection, he's not coming close in Montana. It requires Tester to outrun the top of the ticket by at least mid to high single digits.

Even if Biden wins reelection, he's not coming close in Montana. It requires Tester to outrun the top of the ticket by at least mid to high single digits.

This isn't unprecedented: Tester outran Obama by 17 points in 2012, while Bullock outran Hillary Clinton by 24 points in 2016. While it is true that Bullock only outran Biden by 6 points in 2020, the difference was that Bullock was running for reelection to his existing position in 2016 but was running for a new position in 2020, which greatly reduced his incumbency advantage in 2020 compared to 2016 (as I mentioned elsewhere in the forum, since 2014 the only Democrats to win statewide races in MT were those who were running for reelection to their existing positions, which applied to Bullock in 2016 and Tester in 2018; all other Democratic statewide candidates during this time were running for positions they hadn't yet occupied and thus fell short). Tester will have the advantage of being an incumbent running for reelection to his existing position in 2024, so that should be a factor in his advantage (I'm not saying Tester can't lose, I'm just pointing out one of the reasons he should be counted out yet.).

It should be noted that there were a couple of polls in the 2018 cycle where Tester trailed Rosendale, so we should still wait for more polls to come out before definitively calling Tester an underdog and/or Rosendale a favorite.

If Tester is trailing Rosendale even before any Republican candidate made an announce it’s bad for Tester. The moreover that this poll says that the Green Party takes 3 % of the voting intentions which are good news for Republicans because it divides the Democratic vote. And in a state that Donald Trump won by more than 10 percentage points, Tester voted with Brandon 99 % of the time. Since the last few years he moved even further to the left as he supports abolishing the filibuster even though he urged Mitch McConnell to keep it

He’s actually a former district court Judge, former State Rep, and 2018 Senate candidate from Yellowstone County (Billings).  IIRC, Fagg is pretty popular in the Billings area and only lost the 2018 primary to Rosendale by ~5%.  Honestly, an argument could probably be made that Fagg would be a much stronger candidate than Rosendale or Zinke.  He seems like Generic R with some real local popularity in a key area.  

Incidentally, both Rosendale (terrible speaker, nutjob, photographed with prominent neo-Nazis, easy to brand as “not a real Montanan,” potential for a Kobach-style dynamic) and Zinke (hopelessly scandal-ridden, only avoided indictment due to corrupt interference by Barr, under-performer, IIRC he has lied a bit about his resume/past jobs/etc, generally has a general air of untrustworthiness to him) have some serious vulnerabilities.  I think national Republicans can probably keep Zinke out if they really want to, but Rosendale is gonna do whatever he wants to do.  

Rosendale is a backbencher who has gone all in on the crazy caucus schtick and already burned many of his bridges in the House trying to ensure he’d have that lane to himself.  He was among the few anti-McCarthy rebels who didn’t get anything and held out until the end.  He’s not the strongest candidate so he can’t count on being the frontrunner for the nomination in six years if Tester wins and he’s stuck as a particularly impotent House backbencher if Tester loses to someone else this year.  It’s likely now or never if Rosendale wants to move up the ladder to the Senate (and he pretty clearly does).  Maybe he can be bullied or bought into sitting things out, but if he held out Re: McCarthy even when it was clear the battle was over, then why would he back down from a fight he has a very real chance of actually winning just to appease folks (the National Republican establishment) who don’t like him and whom he has made a such a point of antagonizing?  

Plus, if Rosendale is the nominee, then national Republicans are stuck with him whether they wanted him or not.  That Rosendale is arguably the weakest Republicans Tester might realistically face (hard to say if Rosendale or Zinke is weaker tbh) and national Republicans don’t like him is beside the point.  If he’s the nominee, they’ll line up behind him all the same.

But I digress (this post really wasn’t supposed to be about Rosendale Tongue )
