Race To Watch: Montana Lawyer vs. Trump's Interior Secretary - More Perfect Union



While most Democrats are running on abortion and crime, this Montana congressional candidate has made taking on corporate greed the centerpiece of her campaign. And it just might launch her to an historic upset over Donald Trump’s former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

Mainly to conceal his corrupt dealings with mining corps, etc.?

Can't remember if he got arrested, fired or resigned but I remember he was gone. So many of Trump's appointments were ridiculously corrupt or represented interests, or were themselves, directly opposed to to what they were suppose to be overseeing.

People who vote GOP seem to care less how corrupt and unethical the candidates they vote for are.

His buddies decided it would be cool to form a company to help rebuild Puerto Rico's infrastructure after Hurricane Maria. Seriously. They formed a company which consisted of 3 or 4 people (not a misprint), total, all of whom were Zinke associates, and it was for $300 million dollars. If Montana wants this bum to represent them, may the gods be merciful to their souls.
