Paul Ryan was RIGHT (can't believe I said that): This is 100% on the voters in Montana. [View all]
An enabler of the monster...say, for instance, Dr. Frankenstein as opposed to the monster himself...is every bit as culpable for the actions of the monster.
The "red hats" elected Trump.
The voters of Montana installed Gianforte, which pretty much comes across as a vindication of Trump.
Last night on CNN, one of their reporters was trolling locals in Montana. One said that he "felt good" about the smack-down, because "You're a polite reporter, but you know a lot of you aren't that way." When she pressed him further and asked if he had any reservations about a guy who "allegedly" beat a reporter up serving in Congress, he said "no."
The take-away from this, for me at least, is that 2018 is not a sure thing, "taking back the House and Senate" is going to require one hell of a lot more work than we might have thought. It can be done, of course...but you have to look at the sick fucks who stood behind this asshole and voted on a straight party line ticket.
Those same people will be voting in 2018, too.
