(86,579 posts)Now I can go take a nap. I lost some sleep over this one. Now that our election in MT is pretty much over, I can rest a little now that I know we are still purple and that the House is BLUE!

(86,579 posts)I'm still pissed at him for a couple things, one is an absolutely unforgivable thing. Other than that, I'll take him since he has more sense than many.

(23,372 posts)Three (net) seats lost isn't great. It was a tough map and Trump did manage to rally a white chauvinist base of supporters. The Republicans will have hell to pay for this in the coming cycles.

(6,008 posts)We shouldn't be disappointed that things did not wildly exceed peoples unreasonably optimistic expectations. We had a good night last night. It could have been better. Let's work to make sure we have a better night in 2020.

(86,579 posts)All those trips to Montana to unseat Tester and all that vitriol... all for naught. That has to sting reeeeeeally bad.
Shitneck came here FOUR goddamned times! And shtineck jr went careening around the state in a bus for over a week with his paramour, and that's after showing up at least twice before that and pensation showed up a couple times too! A literal ten week circus that we didn't ask for.
And they were DENIED.
I take great joy in knowing that they wasted all that time and hot air and they didn't get what they wanted! Watch Montana, it's not as rural red as you think, it's only red by a few points in most places.

(297,192 posts)4 times.. but Democracy won in the form of Democratic Senator Jon Tester!
That is my victory for the day, since our House candidate lost to the body slammer. But thrilled that the House has changed hands, it's the best thing that could happen right now, anything else is a bonus.
Cha
(297,192 posts)Jon Tester and family feel, too!
Sorry about that ugly body slammer.. at least he and his fascist doormats will be in the minority.
The other good thing is that zinke is gonna go the way of pruitt and the other crooks. He's also from Montana and putting him in prison especially if convicted after cheato is neutered, federal crime makes him ineligible to hold office again on the federal and, I hope, state level.
Cha
(297,192 posts)be especially biting to Zinke and the Fraud!
".. after cheeto is neutered.. " Fine turn of phrase!
thanks!
I'll be able to sleep for a while now. Big sigh of relief.
I have to get offline, I have to travel tomorrow and I haven't packed yet! This has had me so distracted!
I'll keep up via news until I get back...

I thought Tester was gone last night and then right before I went to bed at about 6am my time he was ahead by some scant votes.
