Oct 2016

lived there for >30 years of my 70+ life. I still have many family members, friends and former colleagues there. In fact, two MT visitors were here with me in Switzerland last week, after spending a week in France and then moving on to Italy before their return to the US today.

Percentage-wise, Montanans are much more cosmopolitan - and politically astute - than one might otherwise think. We are a purple state for the most part. Not all of our GOPers are insane and there are several this year who simply will not support Trump.

2016 could be a game-changer for MT. At least, I very much hope so insofar as Denise's race is concerned.

I also hope that Governor Bullock (D) is re-elected. The alternative is NOT a good one.
