Montana GOP candidate makes a big push the night before special election by body slamming reporter.

[Andy Capp]

Gianforte won by 6%, Trump won Montana by 20% a mere seven months ago. Zinke won re-election for this seat by 16 points seven months ago.

As a Dem I'm getting tired of moral victory losses in these special elections, but these numbers matter. Trump took House Reps from ruby red districts and outside dark money was 9-to-1 in favor of Gianforte -



So a 9:1 spending edge to win a seat by 6 points that was won by 16 points in 2016 while Trump won the state by 20.

Sadly a very large number of ballots had already been cast in the election before this incident with the reporter occurred or there might have been a different result.

It didn't sound like that in the audio at all. There was no 'deft deflection' as you said, Gianforte did not give any reply to the reporter's question. He very clearly tried to avoid answering anything about the CBO report on Trumpcare and attacked the reporter almost immediately. The reason is obvious since the CBO report on Trump's healthcare and tax cuts say they can't pay for themselves.

The same CBO that scored "Obamacare"? LMFAO!!! Nobody cares what that "non-partisan" group of abject incompetents says anymore, man. They are proven to be liars or grossly incompetent, so either way they are irrelevant.

The conservative media has gone much further to the right for decades and its gone worse now with sites like Breitbart. 'Liberal' media outlets like CNN are criticized for being too biased but thats only mostly true on issues of civil rights and not on the important stuff like economic issues eg free market policies and globalization.

Yeah, conservative media that is 98% liberal? If they themselves are 98% liberals and 98% of them voted for Hillary, how is it that they are conservative? They cannot help but try to steer it to what they "know" is best for everyone.
You may as well say "conservative academia" and claim universities are conservative---as opposed to liberal indoctrination stations full of radical leftist "professors" that offer little in the way of actual education.

I doubt your friend has a problem saying 'anything' unless he shares the same boorish behavior as Roger Ailes or O'Reilly.

I've known him since we were kids, he's a stand-up guy who loves his wife and has never strayed, so you can think what you want in your fantasy world. I'm talking about fucking reality, which as a liberal you are 100% clueless about. That said, have a wonderful weekend!

Grossly incompetent? Trump's own projections for his healthcare/taxcut bills were actually pulling numbers from the air. It assumes a totally unrealistic growth rate of to be able to pay for the reforms without ballooning the deficit. And worse, it assumes all the govt revenue lost from Trump's massive tax cuts for the rich would be made up somehow, maybe by magic. Thats very bad even by even by conservative standards.
