I voted Republican in the Primary, but will vote straight D for these three in the General. The Republican party in Montana moves farther to the right than I could have ever imagined.

Pretty much sums up my sentiments.I voted Republican in the Primary, but will vote straight D for these three in the General. The Republican party in Montana moves farther to the right than I could have ever imagined.
As I like to say, I didn’t leave the Republican Party, it left me. Not that I’m a big D fan either. I research candidates and vote for individuals based on their own merit. Any willing to openly challenge their party platform get major points with me. The herd mentality of our current political machine is disgusting.
Spot onI had never been excited about a republican for state office my entire adult life until Fox came along. The strategy papers, not only on hunting and fishing issues, but on education, business, all that, had depth and effort that I had never seen before coming from a candidate. Look at how easily Gianforte won. What does that say about the Republican Party?
Think of who Gianforte would put at the head of the agencies as their directors. Think of the bills he won't veto that will likely arrive at his desk. Think of how Knudsen would vote on the land board.
If the issues are hunting, fishing, and public access, the answers of who I'll be voting for in November is obvious, and it is none of the republicans.

That you need cash to win, but that is true in both parties. It basically demonstrates that most voters don't do much of their own research and tend to be easily influenced by ads. A political researcher once told me that in the less recognizable positions down ballot, just getting signs in yards is enough to create name recognition and gain votes. That was before Facebook and the like so maybe it has changed somewhat. Regardless, money still buys elections.What does that say about the Republican Party?

I don’t think I’d go that far. Cooney has a far better reputation and likability factor than Gianfortes last two opponents for House. If I had money to put down right now, it would be on Cooney.Wow, as a spectator I figured Fox was make a pretty good showing of it. Guess not. Statistics would say it's G by a mile in Nov.
Seriously? That's good to hear. Some are calling it a toss up for now (article is a little old). https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/2020-governors-races-update/I don’t think I’d go that far.
