A rich billionaire for congress to represent MONTANA? And seems to be shady as shit at that.

If elected he'd be one of the most revolting of all the politicians in Congress.

Cruz would rank in my top ten current senators had he not endorsed Trump.

It's going to be a precinct by precinct reporting thing, so let's not get too excited. It's going to bounce all over as precincts report.

And it's one house seat. Not saying it's unimportant, but let's keep things in perspective.

It would be impressive though if he wins.

Its just really weird to me to think Montana would be like "Yeah, let's elect a billionaire we refused to elect governor to the House. That will help our problems"

Yeah. Although there's already calls to change the law regarding absentee ballots going forward.

You seem to think the average person really think things all the way through. I assure you this is not the case.

What is interesting to note is that compared to the presidential election there are less republicans voting in this election

Incidentally, Ted Lieu's twitter has been cracking me up.

Dear Press: Feel free to ask any Dem about the disaster of #Trumpcare. Not only will you not get body slammed, you will get the truth.

One thing I'm seeing is the most populous county in Montana is Republican. Usually those are Democrat in most states.

Trump won the county in 2016. The suburbs are probably fairly conservative.
