Quote:Something like 70% of the vote was early and prior to the assault. He ended up winning by 8 points when trump carried it by 60. It was closer then trumps victory likely due to the remaining vote happening after the assault. He did not win because  the liberal message was bad. He won because he ran as a R in a deep red state who will always vote R despite a person ignoring facts, such as the average age of human life over our history or the age of the planet for that matter. They do this because the GOP has spent decades convincing the rabble that liberals are their enemy. Not fellow countrymen but outright enemies. If you think it's anything else than you are just as much of a rube as they are. 

 

What have you been drinking?


 

No way anyone but Saddam Hussein wins by 60%.


 

Who ignores the average age of human life? That's not even a topic of discussion. There are those who believe the "biblical" age of the planet rather than the scientific age (Muslims moreso than Christians) but that's a small minority. Most Christian denominations accept the scientific age.


 

And Montana was not just voting R, they have a Dem governor. Gianforte won because the "liberal" message was bad, at least as viewed by the voters there.

 

You might also want to check into the overall national picture; Republicans own the House, Senate, and nearly twice as many governorships and state houses as the Dems. There is a reason for that, and it's not Russian meddling or Hillary's corruption or even because people are locked into a political party (and that's more the case with Dems where 95% of black votes always go to the D). The Dem message, which is far more Marxist than liberal, is rejected by anyone who values freedom.
