The polls close in Montana in a little less than a half hour. Even if Republican Greg Gianforte hadn't assaulted reporter Ben Jacobs last night, this would be a race to watch because it is "closer than it should be" in this Republican state.
Grab your drink and let's watch the returns together.
Update: Polls close at 10 PM ET, not 9 PM, as originally stated.

Anonymous, look up “neo-fascism” on Wikipedia. It even includes a section on the American version with the alt-right cited as an example of a neo-fascist group.

Brace yourself for the sneering and gloating today.
Limbaugh will kick it off in a couple of hours, saying that Jacobs got told what for and that Gianforte showed he’s a real Montana man. Fox News will carry it from there. The lightest version will be the mock concern about the throw down, paired both with a caution to the left and the press to be more respectful of the bullies lest they get a good slap too, and with the usual slam on liberals as somehow provoking or inflicting more violence themselves.
The more open version will be on AM radio or the Gutfelds on Fox News who will openly celebrate the beating inflicted on Jacobs. The Year of the Bully will include many more such assaults. If you’re planning to discuss this in a public place like a bar or at an event, be ready for angry Right Wingers to pick fights or just start throwing punches. They’ve been given license and now they know there are no consequences.
Truman is correct to note the thuggish behavior by our Tweeter in Chief in Europe. That’s how the Right rolls these days. If you’re in their way, they’ll just shove you out of the way or throw you to the ground. Until someone stands up to bullies like this, they will continue to act out.

As I said yesterday, most votes were cast by early ballot so the results aren’t surprising. However, the reaction of so many Republicans happy some msm reporter got beat up confirms neo-fascism is taking hold of the GOP. So would it have made a difference?

I really hate to say this, but what happened last night in Montana only reaffirms what I’ve been saying since Election Day 2016:
WELCOME TO NAZI GERMANY, PART TWO!
Mark my words folks: what that Nazi — er, I mean — Republican Greg Gianforte did to that poor reporter will only ENCOURAGE other Nazis who are now in Twitler’s corner to do the same to any member of the press who courageously chooses to use their CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS by asking TOUGH AND HARD QUESTIONS!

It’s not looking good for Quist.
But a narrow win could be really awful for the GOP, I read, because they’ll either be stuck with an assaulter or have to get rid of him.
