So what excuse does he have now for voting against his own party and the majority of American voters?
Let's see what kind of cushy job he gets from those he betrayed us too.

1. He got a job with the Koch bros as a lawyer defending them against environmental studies

2. Are there any other Democrats in Montana?

Seriously. I thought Baucus, Tester, and Schweitzer were the only ones.

[sadbear]

4. Yeah, I know Democrats can win in Montana...

but are there any more? The Democrats either have someone to run or they don't. In red states like Texas, if you have an R after your name, you automatically get 45% of the vote no matter what (see Cruz, Ted.)

6. True now

but Texas is turning purple.

7. Montana is more purple than Texas.

They have two Democratic senators and a Democratic governor. We haven't elected a Democrat state-wide in nearly 20 years. (And that last Democrat was Bob Bullock, who we really can thank for giving us George W. Bush. Bullock, as Lieutenant Governor, had the power to make or break Bush, and he made him.)

5. Governor Steve Bullock

Interestingly, there are more Democrats with statewide name recognition than Republicans.
Other than Congresman Daines, the best known Montana Republicans are Conrad Burns (loser) and Denny Rehburg (loser).
