Don't crush my dreams please.

You honestly need to brace for a loss

[Tranqueris]

Did Gianforte just leave the scene of a crime?

 

[RustyNails]

This should be plastered all over Montana evening news.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Why is this not on the news?????????? We can't let someone into Congress attacking people. This isn't Russia.... oh wait.

 

[Sobriquet]

Libertarians in Montana are the reason why Democrats can win there.

Libertarians usually help Democrats in Montana, actually. Jon Tester is a two-term Dem senator who's never cracked 50%.

Oh OK. I figured it was the other way around.

 

[whyamihere]

You honestly need to brace for a loss

You realize that Ossoff has led almost every single poll since the primary, yes? I still think it's barely above a coin flip, but it's not really worth painting an unrealistically bleak picture based on the data we have. I would give Ossoff a 55%~ chance of winning. If you think that means "brace for a loss", sure, but it's probably not a correct assessment given the data.

Gallatin County Sherriffs now taking witness statements

 

[Nekofrog]

The nWo lives, brother!

Calm down it just happened.

 

[Lkr]

how the fuck did he leave without being cuffed?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

how the fuck did he leave without being cuffed?

He's a politician.

 

[maabus1999]

He's a politician.

Not yet he isn't...But he is wealthy...

 

[super-heated plasma]

What the fuck did that reporter say to him that enraged him so much that he thought it warranted dishing out a body slam? lol

 

[subrock]

Sounds like the reporter walked into a private room and Gianforte took it to 11.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Not yet he isn't...But he is wealthy...

I thought he was defending his seat?

Wait, why is there a special election again?

 

[Tranqueris]

What the fuck did that reporter say to him that enraged him so much that he thought it warranted dishing out a body slam? lol

We'll probably find out when they finally post the audio of it.

 

[Metalingus5150]

What the fuck did that reporter say to him that enraged him so much that he thought it warranted dishing out a body slam? lol

"What are you gonna do, body slam me?"

 

[Allard]

I thought he was defending his seat?

Wait, why is there a special election again?

Secretary of the Interior held this seat before getting confirmed earlier this year. This an incumbent Republican seat but the Republican in race has not won this seat before.

 

[maabus1999]

I thought he was defending his seat?

Wait, why is there a special election again?

Rep. Zinke (R) became Sec. of Interior under Trump.

 

[Kusagari]

I thought he was defending his seat?

Wait, why is there a special election again?

The former incumbent is part of Trump's cabinet

 

[Joeku]

"What are you gonna do, body slam me?"

lmao

 

[Robdraggoo]

Secretary of the Interior held this seat before taking his position.

Aww. Thank you

This just happened, and Chris Hayes did mention it.

All hope becomes crushed in red states

 

[Mr. RPG]

It's over.

My projection is that Quist wins by 2.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Did Gianforte just leave the scene of a crime?

A-YUP.

bro it JUST happened.

As someone who lives here I had it 52-48 R since right after the primary. At best I think Ossoff is a one or two point fave right now just based on demographics. The CBO score may push it another point or so.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Did Gianforte just leave the scene of a crime?

Yes he did.

Chris Hayes covering this right now

 

[gutter_trash]

Chris Hayes is talking about this right now on MSNBC

Take with grain of salt: roughly 2/3 of all votes are cast already as mail-in-ballots, however early-voting typically leans Democrat.

[Pryce]

lol dude left the scene of a crime. he fucked.

 

[sangreal]

how the fuck did he leave without being cuffed?

The sheriff is elected, and the current holder of the position -- Brian Gootkin -- is a Republican.

He's the coroner too, oddly enough

 

[The Kree]

What the fuck did that reporter say to him that enraged him so much that he thought it warranted dishing out a body slam? lol

He tried to get his thoughts on American Idol returning to television.

 

[rokkerkory]

Wonderful and peeps will still vote for him.

They always do.

 

[BlastProcessing]

This should be plastered all over Montana evening news.

The thing is, a good amount of the voting here is done via absentee ballot. I'm not sure how much this will materially effect the election.

 

[Scirrocco]

What happens if he wins, but then has to step down after he's arrested? Another special election? Does the state just appojnt someone?

 

[Tallshortman]

Absolutely stunning this moron who preaches like he's the morality police would do something so dumb the day before an election.

Can't win if you are in jail, right?

I believe he can before any conviction. He can be jailed after though.

Shoot em dead.
Pronounce em dead.

 

[Tranqueris]

Don't worry, he probably declared his innocence before leaving the area.

America pls

 

[whyamihere]

Oh right I forgot we weren't using the data in front of us. Sorry.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

What if he still wins?

 

[GameAddict411]

So what's going to happen now realistically?

 

[Escape Goat]

He was meeting with a Russian and reporter walked in.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

What kind of body slam move was it? This is important.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

What a perfect representation of the GOP's America.

"Yes I have to do two jobs because our budget is constantly slashed by Republican overseers, but I'll never vote for anyone different damn it!"
