1975. MT was dark blue rural. Like most of the west still.
I still have the hat I bought in Butte, the day Nixon resigned. The whole town was a street party.
Election Day was eff Repubs in those days.
 
...where republicans align more with old school dems
The racist ones?

Here is the data for Montana for the TLDR. You can easily pinpoint the exact year MT switched from Dem to Rep. (website attached for those that want to play around for their state). The explanation is well understood for anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the 1960's. A lot of states look similar. Sometimes when the the candidate was from that state, things can switch (Carter in Georgia for example). Obama came the closest to having major surprises in 2008 in some of these states, and that was because we were in a major recession.

The MT guys keep saying they want better candidates. Can someone give me a list of the things they want to hear? I would generally say that voting Americans are a diverse group, but the trend of the presidential victors over the last 45 years is to dumb stuff down. No one wants the details or hear about complexities of tradeoffs. Stay simple and tell them they will benefit $$$ and while giving up nothing. It doesn't even have to be true.

A democrat governor candidate that doesn’t work for the gun control lobby would be a good start. You can laugh that off all you want, but it is a major issue here.
