The NYT doesn't consider these agitators?

Representative Matt Rosendale of Montana is expected to announce a campaign for Senate as soon as this weekend, torching plans from top Republican officials to avoid a bruising primary battle in a state that many in the party view as their best chance to win back control of the chamber.
Mr. Rosendale, an anti-abortion Republican agitator who voted to overturn the 2020 election, plans to formalize his campaign as Montana Republicans gather for their winter meetings this weekend in Helena, according to three people familiar with the deliberations who insisted on anonymity to discuss unannounced plans. A spokesman for Mr. Rosendale declined to comment.
Awaiting the results of the Republican primary is Senator Jon Tester of Montana, a Democrat seeking his fourth term. Mr. Tester is a top target for Republicans given Montana’s deep-red political complexion: Former President Donald J. Trump won the state by more than 16 percentage points in 2020.
More traditional Republican leaders in Washington are pushing the already-announced candidacy of Tim Sheehy, a wealthy businessman seen as a more palatable choice for moderate voters in the general election.

RIGHT WING!!!!
From the rag that endorses the Tlaib’s, Bowman’s, etc of the world
McConnell & RINOs hardest hit.
Sheehan is already getting torn up by Tester.
Tester is pulling his usual “Campaign like a Republican, vote like a Democrat” baloney.
More McConnell sabotage on the way. Followed by a statement that “Candidate Quality matters.”
Hi, we are the GOPe. Your candidate isn’t palatable and can’t win. To prove it, we will break his or her legs and then say “told ya so.”
Primary is June 4th
“...an anti-abortion Republican agitator who voted to overturn the 2020 election”
Aw c’mon NYT, tell us how you really feel...
Yeah, I'm pro-life, but the issue is dead, because the souls of America's women are dead. Until we change that, the issue is a sure-killer.
Rosedale came really close before, right? Only a couple of points?
Let them abort, they’re rotten parents, anyway.
Not sure what your point is. Are you saying he should become pro-abortion or just not make a big deal about his view on life? Because the media will make a big deal about it even if he doesn’t.
He lost to Tester by 3% in 2018.
Montana is interesting... while conservative, this is a state where people likely either know or indirectly know of the politician running for office by reputation through friends and acquaintances... This counts for a lot and explains why Tester can survive there. We might see him as a Chuck Schumer stooge, but many Montanans know of him or his family as some local “good ‘ol boy”.
Better to have a contested primary than an uncontested coronation. The election will be contested, so whoever wins the primary could use the warm-up fight. Dems will throw every dirty trick they can think of at the Republican nominee.

Good. He needs to get lots of backing this time so he can finally take out Tester who is just a rubber stamp for Chuck Schumer.
Things that make you think hmmm.
“Oh my, Trump won by 16 points in Montana, and a Trump supporter is considered “unelectable” in Montana, by the GOPe.”
They’re trying the same approach in West Virginia — a CERTAIN pickup for the GOP in the Senate no matter who wins the primary. The GOPe desperately wants it to be doddering old squish Gov. Jim Justice while patriotic Americans want a solid conservative, Rep. Alex Mooney, to win.
In one of the most amazing developments in the most recent FEC reports, Mooney now is actually outraising Justice despite getting no help whatsoever from the establishment. He might defy the odds and win the primary after all.
I detest RINOs even more than I do
ALL Democrats.
FYI, nasty insults directed toward American women aren’t going to change any minds. Further, having been involved with this ministry for over 50 years, my observation is that the major reason for abortion is the father’s lack of support, abandonment, cruelty, etc.
