On the same day that Trump held his rally in Montana, former MT AG/ former GOP governor/ former head of the RNC, Marc Racicot met with other Montana RINO. They are Republicans for Tester. They say Tester puts people above party.
Reminder: control of the senate is muy importante. Democrat senator Jon Tester is vulnerable with Trump assisting a Republican out-of-stater named Sheehy in Montana.
Republicans for Tester include:
Marc Racicot, Missoula, former governor and RNC chair
Bob Brown, Whitefish, former secretary of state
Mallerie Stromswold, Billings, former state representative
Mike Winters, Great Falls, former mayor, veteran
Mike Shepard, Columbia Falls, city councilmember, veteran
Mick Ringsak, Butte, former Small Business Administration regional administrator, veteran
Terry Baker, Kalispell, veteran
Terry Vermeire, Anaconda, state senator
Justin Schaaf, Fort Peck, town councilmember
Don Seifert, Bozeman, former county commissioner
Wade Jones, Malta, chairman of Milk River Joint Board of Control
Dan Hurwitz, Clyde Park, former state representative
Susan Good Geise, Augusta, former Montana GOP chair and county commissioner
Patty Quisno, Harlem, Fort Belknap tribal council member
Warren Morin, Hays, former Fort Belknap Tribal Council member, veteran
Chuck Butler, Helena, former state Senate Republican chief of staff
This might not seem like much, but when you consider the size of Montana’s population, it’s not bad. The other Montana republicans probably all went to trump’s rally. All 200 of them.
I am hopeful that RINO want to join efforts of Dems to avert the Trump train wreck. If you look at your local politics, what do you see? Are there similar efforts in other states?
Thanks for the above.
I always thought Racicot was a good governor. He’d be a good POTUS, as would Bullock & Schweitzer (much more than the current “choices”)
