Democratic party cuts Republican party from 20% to 6% in Montana, so it's D+14
and it appears that electoral-vote.com called it correctly in their report saying that
approx. 250,000 votes were early votes, and that if another 250,000 showed up, it might be a huge upset,
but that if only approx. 125,000 showed up it would mean Republican victory albeit a much smaller number
than Trump achieved, and all the bigly republicans went to Montana to support it

Behind the bravado, Republicans are shaking in their boots

as there are over 120 Republican seats where if the Democratic party is picking up 14 in a mega-red state, just +5 districts (and there are about 100) Republican districts that are only +5 in 2018

With nearly all the vote counted it was
========================================
http://mtelectionresults.gov/resultsSW.aspx?type=FED&map=CTY
GREG GIANFORTE Republican 50% 188,825

ROB QUIST Democrat 44% 164,936

MARK L WICKS Libertarian 6% 21,386
==============================================
and though the hyperbolic Republican media (aka Fox/Breitbart, Roger Stone(fakewiki) will say otherwise,
no one actually thought the Democratic party had a chance of winning.

So great night for the Democratic party, and the Republican party is shaking...

would have been interesting had the incident where the reporter was beaten up been a month earlier
prior to early voting, if it would have affected, but with the massive early vote, it really was just a distraction
(and most likely will lead eventually to the Republican's ouster and then another special election will be called).

imho
This is the sour grapes spin I've been picking up:
Trump won Montana by 20%...so because Gianforte won by a mere 6%, we are all shaking in our boots.
I don't even feel a quiver...do you?

Trump wins yet another "Referendum on Trump."

What the Hell is the boy-child talking about?

The Democrats, liberals, and primitives were talking as if they were for sure their candidate would win.  In fact, all their yip-yappery had me nervous that they just might be right.

I bet the Dems are having second thoughts about how great 'Early voting' is now!  Oh wait, that would require introspection about an admitted failure.  Never mind.

Early voting, the electoral college, it's always something with these simpletons.
We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.

Donald Trump is President.

Neil Gorsuch is an Associate Justice on the US Supreme Court.

Republican Greg Gianforte is Montana's Representative in Congress.

No, we didn't win but we did much, much better than expected. I think we did well enough to make the repubs nervous. This was a no way a dem was going to win election and he lost by 10.  <--- I thought the DUfus running for this seat had a 7 point lead and that the Repubs would were going to abandon Trump by the 1000s starting today!!!   What does that say about those upcoming elections that are close? Not to mention boxing boy has lost a lot of good will with other congress peeps

Come on people let's talk about Dems losing yet another election!!!  https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029117880

Pfff... :lmao: Gianforte has been accused of assaulting a reporter and lost newspaper endorsements as a result, and he still won? And the dems want to declare a victory?

We should encourage the Ds to achieve even more victories of this sort!

Trump wins yet another "Referendum on Trump."

It will only be a referendum on Trump if the republican loses. He didn't so into the black fake news media hole.

I remember that when Scott Brown picked up the Swimmer's senate seat in deep, DEEP leftist Massholechuttes it was NOT a referendum on Obama. 
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
