A presidential test in Montana: Trump vs. Tester
https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/03/politics/trump-tester-montana/index.html
Belgrade, Montana (CNN)Air Force One is landing in places this fall it rarely has before. And it's never flown so often to Big Sky Country.
President Donald Trump on Saturday made his fourth trip to Montana since July, which political historians here believe is more than any other US president. Harry Truman visited three times, but over a four-year span.
Trump is more invested in Montana's Senate contest than almost any other, telling friends that his sweetest vengeance of the election season would be knocking off Tester. <snip>
The President said Saturday he has not forgiven Tester for raising questions that ultimately led to the embarrassing withdrawal of Dr. Ronny Jackson, Trump's personal physician, as the nominee for secretary of veterans affairs.
"He might be a nice guy, except he tried to destroy Adm. Ronny Jackson, who is the most clean-cut, wonderful person that you ever met. He tried to destroy him," Trump said. "And I've never forgotten it. And it's honestly one of the reasons I've been here so much."
Big Sky Country just gave that orange buffoon the BIG BLUE FINGER.

(28,345 posts)"To go after and try to assassinate with no proof, no basis, no nothing, a good man simply because my father wanted to elevate him and put him in charge of an organization, Trump Jr. fumed. When Jon Tester, who is this lap dog, does that, what happened?"
Trump Jr. argued that no proof of the allegations against Jackson has surfaced publicly since his nomination failed in April, adding Tester has yet to pay a political price for taking down the nominee.
Wheres the accountability to Jon Tester who did that? Because that makes you a piece of garbage in my mind, and it should to all of you and anyone I know in this state, Trump Jr. said."

(8,979 posts)For every "base" member energized, there was equal backlash. Trump essentially neutralized (or should I say neutered) himself with those wasted Montana visits. And a lot of veterans were in fact grateful that Tester interceded to prevent an unqualified individual from heading up the VA. Sit on it Donald!
