To begin with, he has better funding and has already been established as a competent Senator. Also, his centralist ideology better conforms to the state as a whole, as swinging too left or too right is not as good. Combined with the general hate for Trump that has hit the state (such as in Missoula), I feel that it will be close, but Tester will win.]]> 2018-11-05 19:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300672947 Devils's Advocate mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300681409 However, Rosendale will give Tester a run for his money. Even with the lack of abundant funding, Rosendale has full and total support from President Trump, who's voice carries a whole lot of weight in today's politics. Tester has distanced himself from other party figures, so support from big names isn't there. ]]> 2018-11-05 19:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300681409 "L" into "LIAR as others march against Trump visit to Missoula mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300688421 2018-11-05 19:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300688421 University of Montana students spell out ‘IMPEACH’ on mountain ahead of Trump visit mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300691145 2018-11-05 19:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300691145 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300691893 2018-11-05 19:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300691893 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300692125 2018-11-05 19:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300692125 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300692262 2018-11-05 19:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300692262 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300692478 2018-11-05 19:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300692478 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300692555 2018-11-05 19:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300692555 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300693009 2018-11-05 19:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300693009 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300693216 2018-11-05 19:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300693216 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300693862 2018-11-05 19:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300693862 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300694075 2018-11-05 19:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300694075 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300694634 2018-11-05 19:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300694634 Citations mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300705619 2018-11-05 20:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300705619 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300706421 2018-11-05 20:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300706421 mbanks6620 https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300716391 2018-11-05 20:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mbanks6620/wpjrv24fiymq/wish/300716391
