Montana: close only counts in horse shoes and hand granades.

The National (Liberal) news media had it taped out that Trump would weigh down Republican candidates so much that Democrats would regain their majority come 2018. The Media then focused on three special elections in the House: one in Kansas, one in Montana and one yet to come in Georgia. They lost in Kansas and now they lost in Montana.

The Montana special election was between Rob Quist (D, a nearly homeless cowboy) and Greg Giaforte (R, a businessman). Lots of money poured in as the Dems saw a chance. Mr Giaforte got help from VP Pence and the Republican National Committee and a local constabulary who charged Giaforte for misdemeanor assault of a pesky, Leftist Reporter. When the dust settled last night, Mr Giaforte got 189K votes and Mr Quist got a 165K votes.

So, the spin is on. The biggest spin is that Trump carried Montana by 60% whereas Giaforte barely eked out a win. That spin comes from the Liberal Media. Let's remember some facts, though. While Mr Trump carried Montana by 20%, Mr Giaforte lost his bid for the governorship by 4%. Come to think of it, close also counts in elections.
