From The Daily Montanan…
As Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester tries to fend off Republican challenger Tim Sheehy this November in a state former President Donald Trump won handily the past two elections, Tester’s team is trying to reach swing and crossover voters by showing Montanans there are Republicans who want the Democrat in office for a fourth term.
The Tester campaign on Tuesday morning launched “Republicans for Tester,” a group of more than 100 Republicans to start that include former and Republican National Committee chairperson Gov. Mark Racicot, former Secretary of State Bob Brown, former Great Falls Mayor Mike Winters, and others including former state lawmakers, GOP party chairs, county commissioners and city council members.

The Western Word 
These folks ain’t playing. They’re for real, and they’re crazy as hell. No chance Vance wrote the introduction to this book, and Zinke and Daines are in full agreement. Time to dump this bunch.

Not to be outdone Tim just announced, “Commies For Sheehy”.
Really? Well then, list them! Being familiar with many of the folks on this list, I’d have to say it’s a pretty august and impressive group of good, decent, and accomplished Montana folks. Not a lightweight in the bunch. Folks who put their love of Montana above party. In other words, real Montanans not MAGAs. They remember Montana pre-MAGA!

Swede, we are finding out what New Yorkers have always known. Trump is a worthless bum! He has stiffed everyone who’s ever worked for the guy, thus necessitating the need to take tons of illegal cash from foreign entities. ie. Egypt most recently. Ten million dollars under the table currently being investigated. Voting for a con man makes you folks not the enemy, but marks, which is really kinda sad. Hard to watch fellow Americans gettin’ duped by a lowlife. We failed you guys somewhere along the line.

Greatest con man the world has ever known. If there’s any karma left in the world at all, he’ll spend the rest of his life in jail. Unless of course he boogies to Russia.

Don’t waste too much time and energy crafting lengthy replies to the insubstantial and intentional provocations, Larry. It’s simply trolling.
I try to stay on Swede’s good side so that he’ll maybe put in a good for me when no chance Vance becomes the great dictator!
Might be good news for Tester with those independent voters, as his party’s standard bearer Kamala Harris seem to have picked up huge support with that group.
“Kamala Harris has gained 23 points in a new poll, with a surge that pushed her 9 points ahead of Donald Trump.
The poll questioning independents, carried out by NPRS/PBS News/Marist, found that 53 percent of voters who identified as belonging to this group supported Harris and 44 percent backed Trump.
This 9-point lead is a huge jump from the 14 points by which she was down in Marist‘s July poll, which found 46 percent of independents for Trump and 32 percent for Harris.”

I recently took part in the Emerson poll that The Hill reports on:

How come every pollster in America and Montana always contacts you? No one in my house and no one I know ever gets asked to participate.
Makes one wonder just how “randomly selected” these things are.
I don’t know why you’re not chosen, but all of mine have been via text. Recently it was Research Polling and the day before it was Emerson that I participated in.
The problem with polling is many lean one way or the other.
I never answer phone calls from unknown numbers. I imagine several are polls. – -JmB
Well that’s encouraging. Just yesterday I was bemoaning how depressing it was to realize that you live in a state full of MAGA morons. I know it’s a small thing, but these folks have given me some much needed hope for our future. It’s definitely a crack in the cult wall! And a heartfelt thanks to this sane group of fellow Montanans! Time to take Montana back!
Larry, don’t miss this deal on a bobble head.

Fight, fight, fight!
Love it! Can’t wait for the no chance Vance paper cut edition! Hey, those paper cuts can be serious! It could get infected!
No chance Vance is about the very LAST guy to denigrate another veteran’s service. That’s about as low as it gets. That’s something I would never do. Sure, I served in Nam as a dog handler, and I took my chances. But I know enough about the military to know that my time in Nam was nothing compared to what my pals went through in other situations.
Vance is an arrogant pedazo de mierda as we say in Spanish. Lower than a snake’s belly. I honor all military veterans. I know what they sacrificed for our country. For that little mariposa to criticize Walz burns me up! Willy knew how to deal with pissants like Vance! Shame them! And then laugh at them!

I recently read an awesome description of a Vance “rally” from a female reporter who attended. I imagine tonight’s Tubby / Shady reach-around in Bozone will be much the same.
“One upside to the Vance event: There was no line to use the ladies’ room. Sure, there were women in attendance, but the gender ratio felt like the guest list on Joe Rogan’s podcast. There was one kind of diversity in this small but weirdly intense crowd. Every type of white man that gets a hasty “swipe left” on his dating profile was in attendance: ‘Roided out dudes with bad tribal tattoos. Older men radiating “bitter divorce” energy. Men with enormous beards that have never known the touch of a trimmer. Skinny fascists wearing expensive suits, despite the oppressive heat. Glowering loners staring at the two women under 40 like cats watching birds out a window.”
Awesome writing.

Good stuff. Thank you! – JmB
The new normal, MAGA style! I do believe she’s nuttier than our own Miss Kitty Litter! She sounds like the perfect running mate for no chance Vance!
