Election interference on full display in Montana

Election interference is on full display in Montana, but it has nothing to do with Democrats running ads attacking would-be Republican U.S. Senate nominee Tim Sheehy. It, rather, has to do with Sens. Mitch McConnell, Steve Daines, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee taking it upon themselves to dictate to Montana Republicans who their nominee should be. 

In my hour-long meeting with Daines at the NRSC office in Washington D.C. last December, he made it clear that, in his view, there is no place for another candidate in this race. The senator had no desire to talk about policy, experience or electability. In fact, money was the only subject he chose to discuss.  

Therein lies the McConnell-Daines strategy; find a handpicked puppet that they can buy a Senate seat for and then completely control.
