Montanans’ primary election system has been abused by Daines and Zinke leaving Montanans’ choices side-lined as the billionaire king makers decide who can participate. Their proposed roadless public lands changes and mining deregulation legislation no longer have the focus no sideboards provided by their re-election bid. Rather their lame duck time in Washington will be spent feathering their already bloated monetary retirement nest eggs. Adding insult to injury, Zinke spent last week promoting Montana mining potential, throwing Ravalli County under the bus with a Sheep Creek mine bowtie around its neck.
Remember this king-making in 2028 when Daines runs for governor and current 2026 mid-term United States senate and representative elections.
