Do you think Rosendale learned a lesson and will do better on Pro 2A and hunters rights?

While I'm not a fan of Zinke (another former SEAL who doesn't live up to his conservative claims), who has been less than impressive in his return to the House, I am a huge fan of Rosendale and how he is doing exactly what he promised to do. So simply based on track records in Congress, Rosendale is a stellar candidate for the Senate. Whether his campaigning is good enough, I have no idea.

But looking back at 2018, Rosendale came very close to winning and he was a federal unknown taking on an incumbent who had massive left wing backing. Since that time he's shown that he's as solid a conservative as anyone could hope for.

If Rosendale goes for the Senate seat, he gets my vote throughout the primary and general elections. If Sheehy is the only (R) candidate in the general, he is my candidate, but I'd pick Rosendale over him in a primary.

Tester's Green Decoys turned enough sportsmen's votes by claiming (among other things) that Repulicans wanted to sell of Federal lands. Tester was on a couple Hunting Podcasts and treated with kid gloves.

My good friend Sean Davis wrote a pretty good article (I did most of the research) after the election showing how Montana Sportsmen got hoodwinked by the Leftist Green Decoys.

I don't have a dog in the Montana primary and figure you guys will support a good candidate.

I am dedicated to getting Tester out of the Senate.

Thanks for your involvement. You might be bringing a few into the process that used to stay on the couch whining about election results.

I think I've said this before, but of all Democrats in the Senate most are far worse than Tester. I'm thinking about every Senator from CA, CO, CT, DE, GA, HI, IL, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT, VA and WA plus a few more. But Democrats run as a pack and you can't give one a pass without giving all of them a pass, so to me Tester has to go simply because every Democrat in office has to go.

I'll do everything I can to help defeat Tester, which isn't much. But at a minimum, I'll donate to the (R) candidate and I'll vote for the (R) candidate. It's a simple thing that many people refuse to do while they are complaining about what Democrats have done to the country.

Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.
