Nope. The OP meant the Montana Democrats. I need to focus on reading comprehension.

But I still think the analogy is far more apt when it's about the Repubs.
Or see someone for treatment of the "liberal mental disorder"...

Oh stop. All you silly people pushing the Vox story. "Republicans Won, But They Really Lost".

There's no such thing as a moral victory in politics. There's winning and losing.

Republicans won.

Democrats lost.

Next...

Trump just congratulated Gianforte. LOL!

Idk why, but that's hilarious to me. Since the media was begging Trump to condemn him yesterday.


BTW, does anyone else feel like this incident was staged?

IF such is the case, why did Mr. Gianforte apologize and call what he did a mistake?

Gianforte: 'I made a mistake, I'm sorry' - CNN Video

Anyway, he won, and there's an end to it.

It would be interesting if they broke down the voting to show how the vote went in early voting, versus the vote from yesterday. I would assume that Mr. Gianforte did very well in early voting, but probably lost some votes yesterday.

Franken took the guy out at the knees in 2004 and I don't think it had anything to do with Trump.

Were we so worried then about loony dems that take out hecklers because they are being infuriating? The dude is still in office. Gianforte needs to learn control but I can understand a rancher from Montana not being used to idiot reporters from the east who usually get away with being so in-your-face literally. Bet that reporter checks himself next time.

Maybe,possibly some people take offense to having something shoved in their face? Maybe, just maybe reporters should get some manners instead of just wanting a sound bite at all costs?

Maybe the whole story will come out, let's hope so...
No, I'm not jumping to conclusions. There was a news crew from Fox news there and they backed the reporter's account. Gianforte had been asked earlier about the healthcare bill passed by the house and he said he wanted to wait for the CBO score. The CBO had scored the bill and Ben Jacobs was trying to ask him about his position on the bill since it had been scored and showed that 23 million Americans would lose their coverage.

Only the die hard conspiracy theorists feel like this was staged.


Ask the Fox News reporters who witnessed it and gave their testimony.


That IS your favorite channel, no?

"A reporter who was a firsthand witness to an incident late Wednesday involving Montana GOP candidate Greg Gianforte and a reporter for the Guardian now admits she may have misstated some details of her initial story."


Gotta love those eyewitnesses.
