It’s extremely difficult to believe that ANYONE in Montana voted democrat.
The world is changing.
HA....Bozeman is now referred to (by locals)....BOZANGELES...
Actually Montana has become more patriotic over time. Western Montana, due to the booming mines, an influx of Irish and eastern Europeans miners, the dangerous working conditions, and violence against miners instigated by the Copper Kings lead to communist agitation in cities like Butte, Anaconda, and Livingston. Also, homesteading in Montana occurred at a later time than the rest of the west, more than 80,000 homesteaders moved into Montana between 1909 and the early 1920's and many of them were European immigrants steeped in Marxism.

Billings, a cattle and oil town, is what keeps the Republicans in the game.
Bozeman, Helena, Butte, Missoula-—all are bright blue now.
The rural vote is all over the place, with older folks, Roosevelt Dems, people scared about health care and so on, facing off against miners, loggers, farmers and cattle ranchers who were leaned on hard by Obama and his gangs.
Californians and East Coast billionairs have been moving in for years. They’re almost all Leftists and are moving the state closer and closer to the kind of idiot policies that wrecked the cities they left behind.
Montana is a mixed bag state. Lots of liberal idiots in the college towns of Bozeman and Missoula. Lots of union types in Butte. Way too many Indian reservations where they vote demonrat reflexively. Gubmint liberal idiots control Helena.
Conservatives stronger in Great Falls, Billings and the eastern part of the state, and most of the smaller towns and counties. It’s always a struggle to keep the evil demons at bay in Montana.
