https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/montana-house-special-election Seems super close to me, with the Democrat currently in the lead by 1% but I can't really judge how representative the counties so far are. So if someone else has a bit more knowledge on that, I'd like hearing about that | ||

What happens if the guy ends up getting fined or even gets a prison sentence for a couple days? | ||

I assume that misdemeanor assault charges won't do much with regards to his seat at this point. | ||

I am sure had it been a month ago then the GOP loses this race but with that fact I think they inch out a win. Maybe we're under estimating how many people haven't voted, and are voting today? :| | ||

I think you vastly overestimate how much GOP voters care about a journalist being beaten up by a politician. Trump could choke-slam a CNN reporter and his approval rating wouldn't go down. | ||

I checked Breitbart comment section when it happened just for shitz and giggles to see what people over there would make of it with such a clear cut case and even then the vast majority of people just ended up not believing that what happened actually happened. Instead arguing that a) he deserved it (like mentioned above) but also that b) it went down as explained in the statement, including the recorder being shoved into someones face, constant badgering as well as refusal to leave after multiple times being politely asked to do so before the body-slam. Which as everyone who listened to the recording knows, is complete bullshit but they believe that statement over a recording. | ||

Maybe with a conviction or video or big pictures of Jacob's bruised face (shock value). This is 49th or 50th of the 50 states in terms of internet connectivity. I'm guessing it will be as denying as Trump's pussy comments. | ||

Not to mention sticking it to the GOP members of congress with her supreme court pick and the ability to veto whatever stupid dumpster fire of ideas the GOP congress shits out. Seriously I don't have as big of problem with conservatism as I do with the utter clowns conservatives choose to represent them in congress. But maybe I should thank them because between them and Trump conservatism will probably lose a looot of respect the next few years since Democrats can't do anything to them that they aren't already doing to themselves. Better some clowns to cause a little havoc than a slick crew that oppose my interests! And hell, you said it buddy, sticking it to the Democrat members with his supreme court pick (RIP Garland). I can't think of a better successor to that suave Obama. Everybody's going so crazy and it's absolutely marvelous. He's doing such ludicrous stuff, but not to be outdone, the media sprinkles in three ridiculous accusations for every one solid. I'm trending below 50% agreement with what Trump does, for sure. But the Dems didn't run a Lieberman type, they gave me an unsatisfactory second choice. I'm having some trouble thinking up a likely Dem candidate I'd actually consider better than Trump for my political views. Political churning, at this point, is vastly preferable to a determined push leftward. | ||

I know he's not great for your political views, but he would have raised expectations as far as politicians being honest without the associated shame of being the leader of the political party you begrudgingly support. | ||
