Democratic Senator’s Re-Election Bid Rocked by Libertarian Candidate Dropping Out, Endorsing Republican

[Billie.jeens]

A close Senate contest in Montana may have taken a turn in favor of Republican candidate Matt Rosendale, as Libertarian candidate Rick Breckenridge dropped out of the race Wednesday and endorsed his Republican opponent.

According to Fox News, the dramatic move happened after an ominous and illegal mailer was sent out by an unknown group saying “Matt Rosendale wants to use drones and patrols to spy on our private lives.”

The mailer also endorsed Breckenridge saying, “Rick Breckenridge is a true conservative and opposes government intrusion into Montanans’ private lives.”

As a result, Breckenridge stepped out of the race and endorsed Rosendale saying he wanted to take a stand against “dark money.”

The mailer was apparently intended to draw libertarian-minded voters away from Rosendale and bring them over to Breckenridge’s column, thus, ensuring the victory for incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester.

According to Fox, the mailer violated state and federal election laws because it didn’t identify the group that sent it. It remains to be seen who actually was behind it, but the Fox article pointed out that the tactics used are similar to those used by “Democratic groups that supported Tester’s 2012 bid, where a mailer was sent out to promote another libertarian candidate.”

In the 2012 election, Tester won by 4 points after the Libertarian candidate drew 6 percent of the vote.

These 6 percentage points were just enough to put Tester over his Republican opponent. Had the 6 points gone to the Republican candidate, Tester would not have won.

Montana is revealing a newly encouraged and supported Antisemitism within too many of the radical right. Of course the republicans will approve and they’ll win.
Birds of a feather.

Good for him, rising above the illegal tactics.
We are seeing just the tip of how low Democrats will go. Just wait for the 2020.

I think Democrats will do well on Tuesday. I think they'll be celebrating. (shut it, BJ. I'm often wrong lol!)
And hopefully things will settle down. For awhile. But you're right. Shit will hit the fan next year when candidates begin throwing their hats in.

I'm with Billie on this.
There won't be any gains by Dems and the Republicans will maintain the house.

We'll see! 2016 was the most exciting, crazy election ever and I don't think I've ever seen a more energetic midterm before.
