Doesn't matter if Gianforte was in a hulkamania shirt and tight shorts. As long as he is beating up "liberals" he will be popular with Trump's base. Why do you think he released that statement .

It could possibly be argued that it helped him with some people.

It did. That's why Trump won. And that's why Gianforte will win. The right LOVES strongmen. Bush in his cowboy hat. Reagan and his b movies. Arnold Gropenator. Long list of macho types who use that image to win elections. Look at the posts cheering him on .
Results are interesting so far (48% to 46% with the GOPer up). While I don't know enough about how Montana counts to know if the GOPer will pull this race off, I do note that he is polling worse than Trump did on election night in 2016: https://www.nytimes.com/elections/re...ecial-election
If the GOPer does win, I wonder what that says about the Dem candidate. I really haven't been following the race very closely. One can say that the state is just too Republican for a Dem to win (if the Dem does, in fact, lose, which is no guarantee), but that would ignore the success that Dems have had there statewide over the recent years. Or perhaps the Dem is just a bad candidate? But I don't know how bad you'd have to be to lose to a guy who was reported to have assaulted a reporter.

I dont know if he is a bad candidate, but he isnt a great one. I dont see where the Dem governor even endorsed him. although, the candidate is a Berniecrat, and all accounts say Bullock is going to run for President as a centrist in 3 years.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I did think that the alleged choke slam would've hurt the GOPer big time, but apparently up to 2/3 of the vote had already been cast early.
As for Bullock, I fear he wouldn't be liberal enough to win the Dem primary.

There was no video evidence of it, most of the votes had already been cast by then and even with video evidence it would probably still be seen as a sign of a strong man who could take on "the liberals".

Montana has no problem voting for the right Dem, though. They just reelected a Dem governor while Trump carried the state. And they have a Dem US Senator.
